It’s late, it’s hot and I’m up writing, mulling over what I want to do with this site. I keep coming back to three things:
1. What would I be interested in seeing here, if this was not my site? I’d want diversity. Every day, I’d like to see a short list [...]

We’re having a long holiday weekend here in the US, and I’m playing hooky from bloggy duties. I’ll be back on Tuesday!
In July the QuoteSnack design will get a re-vamp, and I’ll be reconsidering what I do on this site. If there is something you’d like to see here, this is the time [...]

Have you missed me?
Last week I had another ultrasound, and got the news that it’s my last for a while – I’m officially back in the “normal monitoring” category. Since then, I have been sleeping a good 10-12 hours a night, and when I get close to anything creative, I’m dazed, about as focused [...]

With today’s post open in another tab, I wandered onto a friend’s hacked site and got Rick-rolled by a never-ending series of popups. The only way out was to click on the equivalent of install-evil-file.exe, even after restarting my browser, and I wasn’t going to do that. My defaults were set to restore [...]

Do you have favorite writing exercise links? I want to start some writing and reading resource lists here on QuoteSnack, and I’m starting with writing prompts.
Do you regularly host writing prompts and want a review on QuoteSnack, or participate in a site with an active group of writing prompt participants? Drop [...]

You’re welcome to leave comments about the experience and anything that comes of it, including links or even your entire prompt-generated exercise. However, please don’t look at anyone’s comments until after finishing your own writing. What you’re doing right now is a personal thing.
What’s different? As of today, instead of “but please [...]

Yesterday I asked on Twitter for suggestions about the next quote topics. A few of you spoke up, asking for quotes on freedom, peace, challenges, family, friends, animals, beauty/charm, and society. These words will become links, as new posts on these topics go live.
I’ll work my way through this list, then start on [...]

I like to joke that other than my dessert fetish, I’m not hugely into Valentine’s Day. Keep me away from the cheesy commercials, mylar balloons and cheap, mass-produced, chocolate “love” tokens and nobody gets hurt. Friendly hand-made gifties and real poetry are in another class entirely.
In the next and new category, I’m gathering [...]

These are the top ten posts of all time, according to QuoteSnack’s FeedBurner statistics. The time span is from November 29, 2008 to January 6, 2010. For the most part, a fresh “snack” from a confirmed source has been posted on QuoteSnack every day since January 29, 2009.

10. I don’t believe in [...]

Right now, two things.
First, my plate is too full. This too shall pass, but in the meantime something’s got to give. I thought of taking a break this week – I have a biopsy tomorrow (my first,) and the whole month is looking pretty stacked up. Just taking time off doesn’t do [...]

Today’s post will be published within an hour, and the writing prompt will get posted soon after that. Ideally, the writing prompt should have been posted about two hours ago, and the quote post would have been up about 12 hours back. The post I thought would be quick blossomed into paragraphs, and [...]
