About This Newsletter

"Your grammar is a reflection of your image. Good or bad, you have made an impression. And like all impressions, you are in total control."
~ Jeffrey Gitomer

"I don't know the rules of grammar... If you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language they use every day, the language in which they think. We try to write in the vernacular."
~ David Ogilvy

"I wanted to sail when I was in grammar school and well remember memorizing the names of the sails from the Merriam-Webster's ponderous dictionary in the library. Now I am actually at sea - as a passenger, of course, but at sea nevertheless - and bound for Ecuador."
~ Jim Elliot

Responses from my last Drama Newsletter, "I Need Inspiring!!Open in new Window.

StephBee Author Icon said:
"I find a lot of inspiration comes from what I'm currently reading. Great ideas to inspire the muse! Thanks for sharing!"

*Heartp* Thanks for reading, commenting, and sharing how you get inspiration.

"To be honest, my main source of inspiration is he Bible! There is a plethora of stories to draw from. And if you're looking for some material for fantasy, the book of revelation is the one to pick. I read the Bible one and a half hours a day. It's so fascinating. One other thing I draw upon is vague premises or visions. At that point I just pants my way through and voila!-content! Thanks for the NL!"

*Heartp* Thanks for sharing!

"I get my inspiration from the unexpected. A feeling I get from looking down a quiet alley, the rhythm of a song, the view of an oncoming storm over a field... For me I do not find inspiration; it finds me."

*Heartp* Inspiration can sometimes sneak up on us when we least expect it!
