Five minutes of writing a day is better than no minutes…. think of it, instead, like practising scales on the piano… or like warming-up in the gym – the more you prepare for writing, the better shape you’ll be in once you have time to really concentrate.” Kate Mosse

Author quote for today: “Write what you know will always be excellent advice for those who ought not to write at all. Write what you think, what you imagine, what you suspect!” – Gore Vidal

Birthday of Agatha Christie.“There was a moment when I changed from an amateur to a professional. I assumed the burden of a profession, which is to write even when you don’t want to, don’t much like what you’re writing, and aren’t writing particularly well.” – Agatha Christie

Today’s quote: “Book burnings. Always the forerunners. Heralds of the stake, the ovens, the mass graves.” ― Geraldine Brooks, People of the Book

Today’s author birthday quote: “I hadn't known there were so many idiots in the world until I started using the Internet.”
― Stanislaw Lem

Stanisław Lem is perhaps best known as the author of Solaris, which has twice been made into a feature film.

Building universe for new story - love creating worlds and flora/fauna to go with.

Today is the birthday of Tony DiTerlizzi who is best known for his works “The Spiderwick Chronicles” and his “Wondla” series. I absolutely loved the Wondla series. Haven’t read the Spiderwick ones, but definitely on my TBR list. Wondla was amazing.

Frustrating writing day - you ever have a day where you ended up deleting more words than you added? Yep. That kind of writing day. But tomorrow is a new day, right? :)
