Paved With Good Intentions

I really did intend to complete and post an Illustration Friday piece this week for the theme "Backwards." Well, that's not going to happen. (Why I waited until the week before Christmas to attempt to finish by the deadline for the first time ever-- I have no clue...) I'll post the finish another time.

Many Writers, Many Paths
I never get tired of reading about how other writers work. Now that the year is winding down it's the perfect time to settle in with a hot cup of tea and peruse this roundup of great interviews with different authors.

6 Reasons Why A Writing Group is a Girl's Best Friend...
1) We give each other support.
2) We encourage each other.
3) We give each other honest feedback (without throwing tomatoes.)
4) We learn from each other.
5) We kick each other in the pants, when necessary.
6) We laugh, A LOT.
And, look! Here is an article about my very own group!

Perfectionist Paralysis
The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.
–Linus Pauling
A helpful quote for when you're stuck on that one great idea, trying to make it just perfect. Put it aside. Take a break. Make some tea (or eat some chocolate if you're lucky enough to be able to keep it in the house without eating it all in one fell swoop.) Relax. Then let yourself loose and crank out a bunch of others. Worry about sifting the good from the bad later.
