not fair
I just enjoyed reading this, and thought I’d share with everyone else. #LifeIsNotFair
I’ve been taking a trip down memory lane lately where this blog is concerned. I love when I re-read a post from years back and have forgotten that I’d even written it, allowing me to read it in a whole new light. I love it even more when I laugh or cringe at all the right parts, wondering what’s going to happen in the story (which is saying something, seeing that I’ve lived all of these stories).
One of my earliest posts, which subsequently developed into three early and integral parts of my book, The Best Advice So Far, came from Carlotta, my friend (and my dear friends’ mom) who passed away many years ago.

Quote your Character (Day 2)
This is a challenge I might just have to try…I hate finding quotes in my own work, it makes me feel so vain! (My wife cackles next to me as she watches me type those words…)
Day 2 of the 3-Day 3-Quote Challenge, I once again invite you to share a quote from your characters in my comments. I offer quotes from two wise men who people my pages. Both are from the series that begins with Myths of the Mirror and continues through the Dragon Soul Trilogy.
This challenge came my way thanks to LIVE LOVE LAUGH, a fun site worth a visit.
If anyone would like to send on the 3 Day 3 Quote Challenge, here are the official rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated you
2. Post a quote a day for 3 days.
3. Each day, nominate 3 new bloggers to take part in the challenge.
Enjoy!
