Sentence of the Day: Figures he'd get the broken-springed coach with the one-armed handler. Blasted luck.
Author Sinclair Lewis was once invited to speak about the craft of writing. Standing in front of a classroom full of students, he asked, "How many of you here are really serious about being writers?"
Hands shot up all over the room.
"Well then," Lewis asked, "why aren't you all home writing?"
And then he walked out the door.
So....what's your excuse? Thanksgiving is over. There's only 4 weeks until Christmas. Does that mean writing should atrophy in the rush of the holidays?
What would Sinclair say?

ROFLOL! I love that. Jim Rubart talks about that on Novel Rocket today (sorry for the commercial). ;)
Actually, I'm trying to write but I'm having trouble focusing right now. I should have left the house, but the hubs has some insurance dude coming over. Oh joy. How many ways can we say "NO!" ???
Yeah, bubba, never ever write at home. Doesn't work. Wait a minute...currently I'm not at home. What the heck am I doing on my blog?! Oh well, I'll check out Jim's post as long as I'm at it.
