A Writer’s Prison

Maybe that’s why we have trouble getting back to writing when we’ve been away?

Monday Funnies…

I love the on about being too serious! Sounds like something my sister would say!

Literature is My Utopia….. Helen Keller

Love this piano pic! Gotta make sure my hubby sees it!

Vintage

I wish my great grandma had rigged this up instead of having us bathe In the boys’ bath water! As you can probably tell, she preferred boys!

Think

Always! Don’t let anyone else tell you what to think!

FRIDAY SMILES

Good one! Gotta post from phone again. I was looking at pics of Angelina Jolie & I got one of those messages to pay them to remove the bug that THEY are trying to put in my PC! Can still get in from Chrome but they don’t recognize most of my sites.

I need to be MORE bossy!

I Write Because…

Yup, I agree with all of Joss’s reasons for writing. I write for the same reasons!

But when you burn books, you help the author become a bestseller, SO KEEP ON BURNING!

Peace,
