She rose, her dress trailing in the dirt behind her. Her hem was torn and wet. She resembled a bedraggled maiden who had been forced to work in the castle gardens. She ran. Holding the sacred locket in her clenched palm.

Today’s OneWord: Chief
Known simply as, “The Chief”, my grandfather had been the Fire Chief in Dunn County for more than twenty years. He had saved just as many lives as cats and was loved by all who knew him. He was a man who commanded attention and demanded affection. A hug from The Chief was like being enveloped in a big, furry, love rug.

Today’s OneWord: Epic
It was a failure of epic proportions. I didn’t know how I was ever going to tell her that I had failed. Failed. At the one thing she was so sure I could do. I couldn’t even do that. I couldn’t face her, couldn’t tell my sister that my marrow was not a match.

Today’s OneWord: Festival
I ran through the crowds, searching for him. He was here somewhere. I pushed people aside, yelling his name, frantically moving through the festival in search of his face. There he was. I stopped. Stood still. It’s better to know where your enemy is than to have him surprise you.

WOW
I am always looking for great resources on properly pricing my writing efforts, marketing my work, and interesting news in the writing arena all together. One of my many resources for fresh inspiration, great ideas on the writing profession and some humor too is WOW. WOW stands for Women on Writing. I hope I didn’t just lose my male followers. 🙂 Even though it is called Women on Writing, it’s not just for women. The resources are not gender specific. 🙂
For example, the latest newsletter from WOW featured articles on getting organized, spending your money wisely, and even a piece on starting your writing business the right way. WOW advertises writing jobs, contests, agents, and lots more.
Pop on over and check them out. Even if you’re not a girl. 🙂
Happy Writing! 🙂
