Equality and Peace
Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted equal rights for everyone. His hope was for all to live together without prejudice. One voice became many, though it wasn't easy. In my opinion, we aspire to attain his dream on many levels world wide to this day.
Have a great day!

Good V. Evil
Muahahahahaha!!
Welcome to The Fantastic Friday Writers!
I think I'll focus on evil today.
TIP: you have my permission to make your villain as despicable as you want, just please, please GIVE him or her a redeeming quality. Why deny the opportunity for your readers to connect with your villain?
IE: Sinister Van Arson loves setting forests on fire, but not before he rescues his most favorite animal. The bunny rabbits. Okay, I know that's quite the exaggeration, but I bet you know what I mean.

Who would've guessed?
Here's the excerpt I used from Rock Star (some groupies are smothering him, and he's angry with one of his band members):

Changes in Writing
I was Anastasia's guest sometime ago, and it slipped my mind that I was over for some crumpets and chocolate and stuff. *Ducking* I'm reposting here anyway. Here I go (ahem):
Today, I’m posting about a particular struggle I have as a writer.
One thing that I do—which I believe is the bane for many writers—is every time I finish a how-to book on writing, and after I apply it, my writing changes. My book was thin, starving and gasping for rich oxygenated imagination. Well, I was able to apply the correct techniques to get it closer to publication, but I had to find a happy medium so that it wouldn’t stifle my creativity.

She's b-a-a-a-ck!
Hello everyone! Thank you so much for visiting, lurking and reading my blog these past few weeks. This year will be an adventure for me.
I need to make a goal, as hard as it is, to cut down on my blogging time so that I can nurture my WiP. He's been neglected long enough and needs my TLC.
My goal is to get it completely polished before Christmas of 2011!
Can she do it?
Yes she can! ;)
I just need to cut down on my networking. *SIGH*
I love my friends with just as much passion as I do my writing. This will be hard, but I will find a balance in there to say hi when I can.
