a shot in the arm

Every so often, it's good to get a proverbial "shot in the arm"--something that motivates us or inspires us when our energy begins to flag and we lose focus. The old vitamin B12 shots come to mind.

When it comes to writing, though, humor and shared wisdom come to mind. If you could use a little pick-me-up, I hope this helps:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There now...that wasn't so painful, was it?

 

I actually got two shots in the arm this week.

 

First, I was invited to participate in the Empowerment Project with Beth Caldwell. Check it out at http://bethcaldwellpublicity.net/empower-book-project-for-women. The invitation arrived compliments of fellow Pennwriter Sue Rumbaugh, assistant professor of English at Carlow University, who was kind enough to think of me when she learned of the project. It was just the shot in the arm I needed, and it didn't hurt at all.

 

Second, I got my flu shot this week...and it didn't hurt a bit, either. So...PLEASE get YOUR flu shot this season. It could save you a boat load of trouble later on. Just sayin'.

Next week I'll have something to say about writing memoir, God forbid.
