"Go out as far as you can in your writing. I can rein you back in, but
I can't take you out there."
Writer Buddies Anna Adams “Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.”
Writerly Links DoBelieve "Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
Fun Links "If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
"Sex is not a sin. Many people have complained that this is taking all the fun out of sex.”
"I know the difference between a good man and a bad one, but I haven’t decided which I like better.”
"Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.”
“Men make love more intensely at twenty but make love better, however, at thirty.”
“My sister was with two men one night. She could hardly walk after that. Can you imagine? Two dinners!”
“A bit of lusting after someone does wonders for you and is good for your skin.”
“I used to think I had ambition...but now I’m not so sure. It may have been only discontent. They’re easily confused.”

Girl is part of a professional children's choir and they're traveling to Charlotte for a performance tomorrow. I'm chaperoning. Let me take a moment to be a proud Mama and say that this group is amazing. They sing in English, Latin, Italian, French, Gaelic, and Creole and it's just beautiful. 
She's one of my absolutely favorite writers -- oh, to be able to write like her. Lord of Scoundrels -- Brilliant. It couldn't possibly be better timing for her newest novel to be out. Four to five hours on a bus? Prime reading time. 
Can't think of a better travel companion than Loretta Chase. I'm also taking along two partials that I'm critiquing for a workshop and my own wip, but I'll save those for the trip back.
