Open a Vein

(above: existo porque anhelo by vachi-bumbernickle)

"There's nothing to writing. All you do is
sit down at a typewriter and open a vein."
Walter Wellesley Smith

Do any of you write on a typewriter? I personally own two vintage Royal typewriters... one from the forties and one from the sixties. While they're in excellent working condition, both need a new typewriter ribbon. I'm not so sure if I'll start writing my stories on those, though. (I tend to hit the "delete" button a lot.) Typing on a typewriter is sooo very different from typing on a flat laptop keyboard. ...But the sound of the click-clack-ding! is sooo very musical.

Guide to the Labels

The labels are listed on the right-hand module of the blog, but sometimes a label doesn't fully describe what those posts are all about. If you want to know more about a label, you've come to the right place. Listed below are all of the labels I use and their descriptions.

Bookshelf
When I'm not writing, I'm reading. Here's where I keep track of books I've read, want to read, and couldn't finish.

Inspiration
They say that a picture is worth a 1,000 words. I find this to be true because sometimes a photo or painting can inspire my writing. So under this label I will share photos, paintings, song lyrics, an anything else that I find inspiring.

Miscellaneous
Sometimes I may write a post that doesn't have a label to fall under. Those posts will end up here.

NaNoWriMo
National Novel Writing Month happens in November. I participated in my first NaNoWriMo in 2008... and won! As November 2009 gets closer, NaNoWriMo posts will start popping up.

Quotations
Words to live by when it comes to reading and writing.

Reviews
Here's where I share what I think about books I've read.
