I hope you dance!

From the Lee Ann Womak song, "I Hope You Dance"

Inspired by our interesting conversations this week about the United Nations, child soldiers, and educating girls, my wish for you is that when you have an opportunity to make a difference, even a small one, you will take it.   Don't sit back and let life happen to you. You are small but mighty. You have choices, you have every advantage, you have the world at your feet.

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance. :)

Punctuation Matters

We've been spending time making sure our punctuation enhances our work. Take the extra time to revise and edit so you don't look like a psycho!

Stories are around us, everywhere

Everytime you hear a great story on the news, try asking yourself what makes it so good? It is the qualities of a good story, or just good storytelling? Is it a character or theme which resonates with us? I just read this story and and was profoundly moved. It's beautiful. I hope it will inspire your storywriting this weekend.

Finding Theme

We've been talking a lot recently about finding themes in the books we're reading. I came across this one which seems like a great one. Have you found this theme in any of your book club books? :)

Do you agree?
