10 Days of Camping = 10 Books Read

I love camping in the boonies, because it's a great excuse to read a lot of books. (My goal was 17 books, but I spent time playing fetch with the dogs, cooking in the Dutch ovens, and gaming with our kids.)

It was a fabulous trip.

I'll be posting reviews for the books I read during the trip, but here's a quick list and below are a few fun pictures.

1. Grief Cottage by Gail Godwin
2. The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
3. If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face? by Alan Alda
4. The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz
5. Freefall by Joshua David Bellin
6. The Care & Keeping of Us by Dr. Cara Natterson
7. Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert
8. Mothering & Daughtering by Reynolds & Reynolds
9. Strength to Love by Martin Luther King, Jr.
10. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

Writing Quotes & Pretty Pictures

My friend, and fellow author, @DavidPurse takes the most amazing pictures! I asked if I could use some. He said yes. ;) And now my goal is to turn some of his pictures into terrific writing-quote memes. Below are the first two. Check back next month for more. Feel free to share, but please always give credit to David Purse for the photos and link back to this site.

Happy writing.

Oh ... and do you have a favorite quote you'd like me to include with a future meme? Let me know either by commenting or messaging.

#IWSG: 2016 - You Got This!

[ Six quick pictures to inspire your #writing for the new year! ... Scroll on down! ]

http://www.insecurewriterssupportgroup.com/p/iwsg-sign-up.html

It's the first Wednesday of the month, which equals INSECURE WRITER'S SUPPORT GROUP! It's also equals motivation for me to write a blog post. :)  ... I've had my head stuck in revisions for months now, and I've hardly come up for air. But I'm SO CLOSE to finishing ... I'm in love with my current project, and I can hardly wait to send it to my agent. I hope she likes it half as much as I do. And I can hardly wait for the world to read it. My hopes are high on this one. *fingers crossed*

In the mean time ... I was thinking ... what would make a great post for today? I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions, but I do love motivating ideas. So allow me to share some great pictures with you ... scroll on down ... and happy writing to you ... and may 2016 bring you great joy.
