I started 5 blog posts in the last 2 weeks. Sadly, they sit unfinished, collecting dust. I went through a dry spell that started in early May, and last week I was determined to add something to this blog. I stared at those posts and said “yuck”. I tweeted that I was looking for inspiration for a post and included Kristen Lamb’s #MyWANA hashtag. I hit ‘add new’, hoping to start from scratch then decided to peruse a few of my favorite blogs to see what everyone else was writing about. (Don’t remind me I hadn’t kept up with the posts in my feed reader, as you’ll see as I point out items of interest spanning several weeks!)
- Trish Elliot writes about The Emotion Thesaurus
- Kristine Kathryn Rusch: The Business Rusch: the end of the world as we know it
- Catherine Hedge at Pen in Hand: Bumper Stickers by Bishop, Part Two
- one of my favorites is “Go overboard! You can always swim back! (i.e. Go ahead and be melodramatic. You’d get out what you wanted to say and could always edit the excess later.)”; and
- “Patient writers don’t settle for what they wanted when they began. Instead, they discover more than they anticipated they had…and write on that. (11/12/98)”
- JW Manus – fabulous Nuts & Bolts & formatting your e-pub
- TheBloggess.com – not-so-fun adventures with stolen laptops and airlines
TheBloggess.com was the one I’d scanned first, which is quite hilarious because I popped back over to Twitter again after I’d read several of Jenny’s posts, and there it was:
@KristenLambTX@charnewcomb Go read @TheBloggess Inspiring and always a great laugh. 12:56pm, Jun 24 from TweetDeck
Great minds think alike? (Don’t I wish I had Kristen’s & Jenny’s creativity!)
I did find the muse, and posted the GPS adventure. I’ll let you know in a week or so how that adventure pans out. Texas, here I come.
