Big Thoughts, Human-sized Canvas
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 don’t paste [...]
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 a [...]
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 up [...]
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 the no-win [...]
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 it for [...]
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 then I [...]
I’m playing footsie with oddities that popped up after upgrading to the most recent version of WordPress. Some of my plugins aren’t playing nice. In a few minutes I’ll have it sorted out and post today’s post. If you find anything that’s still broken later on today, please let me know!
Regular readers know that sometimes I just post a quote and an image, and sometimes I write an article to go with the post. My promise is to deliver every quote “snack” with some way to find more information, if you want it. Normally, at the minimum I’ll provide a link to a reputable published source, usually a primary…
Yesterday I did something I have not done since January 28th – I took a break. I did not post anything at all here on QuoteSnack. It was weird, but necessary. I’m going to take some time off. I’ll be back in a week, on Friday the 11th, with a quote from George Eliot’s “Silas [...]
In November I am joining in on the frenzy that is National Novel Writing Month. I signed up to participate in NaNoWriMo.
During the month of November, NaNoWriMo participants attempt to write a 50,000 word novel. I’ve wanted to write a book since I was a little girl. The…
…This tells me that some of you might want to do more than write quotes on post-its to stick to the side of your monitor. Heh. You might be interested in taking some of those words and ideas out for a spin around the block, and then some. I’m going to try a few things.
This is the last post in a Free-form Writing Frenzy Productivity Experiment. It seems that you like these a little more than you hate them. According to my web server stats, even if you’re not sharing what you write, you’re coming back to see what’s next. I’ll be thinking of how to grow QuoteSnack and still do TLC for those who just want a simple “Quote of the Day.”
This has been FUN.
