Title: Succulent Wild Woman: Dancing with Your Wonder.full Self
Author: SARK
Purchase: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/068483376X/indigoinn/
I bought this book at Angus and Robertson Book Store in Brisbane (Aus) on the 10th of June 2001 around 12.30pm. A few hours later, I finished reading the book. That’s how fun this is!
I first came across Sark’s work while I was living in California (USA). I wanted to buy her book so badly. But, at that time, I held back. And, every time I came across her books, I kept holding back. After reading [click to continue…]

If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it.
If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step
forward, you’re always in the same place.
- Nora Roberts
Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to
exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.
- H.L. Hunt
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you
do not stop.

stringing words together for the amusement of others.

Author: Evan Marshall
The first thing that attracted me to this book is the blurb that said: “A 16-step program guaranteed to to take you from idea to completed mansucript.”
What kind of writer wouldn’t want to be given that guarantee? Well, not that I believe that there really are any guarantees.
As I read through the book, I was taken to the various steps of novel-writing. From lanning to plotting, actual writing to revising – and then to marketing.

I liked the fact the Evan Marshall was able to come up with a process that’ll help beginning writers to get going with their novels. And, at the same time, provide ‘veteran’ writers a way to analyse and reshape an ailing manuscript.
This book is certainly worth having on any aspiring novel writer’s bookshelf while going through the process.

A personal mission statement is a way to express your life’s dreams and purpose while affirmations are ways to help you believe that this mission will come true.
Personal Mission Statement
Whenever one is reminded of one’s purpose and goals, one learns to keep going no matter what. If you haven’t written a mission statement for yourself just yet, I encourage you to start one today. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy.
In fact, the best mission statements are just simple and easy to remember.
