beautiful chaos: IWSG - (finally)... on getting stuck

http://michellegregory.blogspot.com/2015/01/iwsg-finally-on-getting-stuck.html

January 14, 2015. IWSG - (finally). on getting stuck. This is a picture of my driveway, taken sometime in the winter of 2011. such a pretty picture. you'd never think that just around the bend to the left would be a place that scared me for a couple of winters. Add to that that we haven't had a snow plow up until just a few days ago and you can see where this is going. But now i can laugh about it. now i can be confident that, barring a really bad snow dump, i can always get up the driveway, whether ...

beautiful chaos

http://michellegregory.blogspot.com/2014/01/heres-snippet-from-upon-time-posted.html

January 6, 2014. Here's a snippet from Upon a Time, posted with permission from the publishers. She had almost drifted off for a second when she heard a low moan; the same kind of sound the man had made as her father first used the potion to return him to unconsciousness. She reached for the bottle but before she could administer its contents, the man’s face contorted in agony. He had attempted to open his eyes, and only one would cooperate with the demand. 8220;Where… am I? Are you all right? 8220;I am ...

beautiful chaos: and a happy new year

http://michellegregory.blogspot.com/2014/12/and-happy-new-year.html

December 31, 2014. And a happy new year. I think i've used this New Year's wish from Neil Gaiman before, but it's just as good this time around. May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art - write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself. Alex J. Cavanaugh. Happy New Year, Michelle! Upon a Time,.

http://michellegregory.blogspot.com/2015/03/insecure-writers-support-group-february.html

March 3, 2015. Insecure Writers' Support Group - February Grace and Upon a Time OR where to find inspiration for writing. According to Jack London: “You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”. The amazing thing about writers and our creativity is that if you gave 50 authors the Cinderella story, or any other fairy tale, and asked them to write their version of it, you could end up with a hundred different stories (at least if some of them were like me and had more than one way ...

http://michellegregory.blogspot.com/2015/08/iwsg-shine.html

August 5, 2015. When you're insecure in your writing, remember this quote from Marianne Williamson:. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? For other posts on writing when you feel insecure, click on the link on my sidebar for the Insecure Writers' Support Group. The first We...

http://michellegregory.blogspot.com/2015/07/iwsg-overcoming-our-fears.html

July 1, 2015. IWSG - overcoming our fears. Today, i'm sharing what others have to say about overcoming our fears about writing. 8220;You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face…You must do the thing you cannot do.” Eleanor Roosevelt (not exactly a writing quote, but appropriate just the same.). 8220;Anyone can become a writer. The trick is staying a writer.” Harlan Ellison. 8220;I will go so far as to say that the writer who is not scare...
