You’re quite welcome.

Actually, I really liked that line you wrote in your blog–something like . . . “Carda didn’t mean to total his car.” That’s a great first sentence. So, I think you’re on the right track. Keep going until you hit something you think is truly great.

Hey, thanks for the referral! I didn’t know you had a blog.

I already listed my favorite first lines. I do have the hardest time thinking them up. I’ve been revising them over and over to try to make them as interesting as possible, and I’m still not done. But I’m getting closer. It’s like focusing a camera lens. Every new twist of the focus gets it closer to true.

I think you have plenty fun and interesting things to say, it’s just that you stay to yourself most of the time so people don’t get to see it as much, Mish.

You have a lot of great things to share and you don’t have to be a social butterfly to do it. Just put yourself out there and be yourself. Fun things tend to happen even quicker when you do.

I like your post and I can relate to everything you’ve said.

Do I think I’m boring? Never.

Do I think I’m interesting? Of course, because I’m never boring.

What are your writer’s quirks? I have most of the quirks mentioned on Rachelle’s blog.

I found it comforting to discover that most writers possess similar quirks.

I have always embraced my innate weirdness.

Comment on Why Writers Write . . . by saran skarka

That made me tear up a bit. I am not a writer but to see the emotion investment that you obviously put into your writing makes me respect your craft that much more. Sometimes, I forget you are my baby sister and see you as an accomplished author. I love it!
All the best with your new book Kaki. I am always praying for you.

Gah! That’s where this comment was hiding. I knew you had commented, but I couldn’t figure out where. I’d love for you to come over. I’ll call. Pick up your phone this time!

Maybe there’s a gator? Or some horrifying, newly introduced species of piranha or snakehead in the lake?

Cool work, I hope I can come visit and check it out.

Comment on Solution to Writer’s Block? by DoozerDan

Hmmm, very interesting thoughts. I’ve sort of been struggling with writing block for a couple of years now. Well, not sure if it’s writers block any more, just my writing muscles were weakened from burning out and having to take 3-6 months of everything creative. Since then I’ve barely written, failed NaNoWriMo twice. I’m really hoping that when November comes around, if I haven’t started writing more by then, NaNoWriMo will help kick start me back in to writing again. It worked the first time, maybe it can work a second.

I think mainly the problem for me is I’m not forcing myself to do it, like, I need to build up the writing muscles completely from scratch, I’ve just been too lazy to put in the effort and get through the really crap writing to get into the flow of it again.

Still, much food for thought.

Thanks. I didn’t design it myself. It’s a theme on WordPress. It’s pretty cool; all you need to know is a little html, but the theme does most of the work for you. You just have to put all the pieces together.
