Writing is like dancing. With one partner after another. A declarative sentence. A parenthetical expression. Bold, and with a question mark. A run on sentence that won’t stop running.

🤔🤷🏽 I’m more inclined in my circumstances, to resemble the lyric by The Mamas and the Papas: “I’m gonna trip, stumble, and fall” 🎵🎶

Writing is like breathing in the clouds, and breathing out stardust.

Writing is Like chocolate. Some days you have a page that resembles white chocolate, with nothing marring the surface. Other days your pages are full of a jumble of words that not everybody will like or understand, similar to dark chocolate. Often the page resembles Milk chocolate, containing the right balance of prose that allows you to find the sweetness in life with just a hint of the bitterness of reality.

Thank you so much! I understand what you mean about 'learning as we go' - ever since I got my book deal and became a published author, I keep telling myself the same thing! Wonderful to hear from you.

Swedish fish and M&M. Yum!

One of the things that Jay continues to inspire -- and calls to my surface is -- FUN.

Often... all it takes to get there is a shift in perspective. 😁
