Here is a great tip on writing and a good quote on reading that I heard recently. I think that these are worth their way in gold.

1) If you get ready to write, DON'T check your email first. Leave it for later, after you're done writing, as a cherry on top. (I am guilty of this one).

2) "A book is like a mirror. If an ass peers into it, you can't expect an apostle to look out."
- G.C. Lichtenberg

Happy reading and writing,

Well, here I am with my hubby. We are standing in line to the Pin Show, which was a fabulous indie-designer fashion show in Dallas, TX. There were definitely things to write about, and all those reps from the magazines in the area were, of course, in on the fun, including some TV newscasters and other celebrities. Feels nice to mingle like that, especially now that I have decided to go back to school and get my second degree in fashion. Besides nice clothes, fashion shows are great ways to mingle with magazine editors and models, ask them questions (if you're lucky enough to get a slice of their time), and get writing ideas! Writing ideas are everywhere, even in your backyard.
