It's a new year, a Do Over and it is time for us to be large and in charge. We CAN DO IT. We can finish those stories, get them published and take the publishing world by storm. We are AUTHORS. We are superheroes, supervillains and magic powers all rolled into one. We create worlds from nothing, breathe life to whole casts of characters, solve mysteries, stop wars, we even conquer other dimensions and planets. Can I get a hell yeah? Writers are the most brilliant people out there only we don't give ourselves nearly enough credit. So I'm here to say We ARE awesome, we WILL be successful and we CAN finish the stories/revisions we think we can't. I have every faith us, my fellow writers and I never place faith lightly. I BELIEVE in us. We are going to rock 2013!
Now, I know my regular readers are like WTF? Did Mel get replaced by a Pod Person/Stepford Wife? No,I just have some good cheer left over from the holidays and thought I'd pass it along. Your regular Mel the ass-kicking snarky bitch will be back. Trust me, it's physically impossible for me to hold on to positivity for very long. ;)
"We are AUTHORS. We are superheroes, supervillains and magic powers all rolled into one." <--- LOVE THIS.

ReplyDeleteYou get on with your bad self girl!!! Hey, there are two shows on Netflix that I think might appeal to you. Both BBC and have strong, intelligent female leads. One is Vera and the other is Bramwell. Check them out if you wish.
