Who Wills, Can

I'm off to the northwoods to clear my brain and breathe deep for a couple days. In the meantime, enjoy a few words from one of my favorite authors. Sometimes, it takes so little to say so much.

Resource: Let's Get Digital, by David Gaughran

This is an excellent recap of everything you need to know about the self-publishing frontier, plus some fabulous examples of how other authors have succeeded. Hats off to David for putting it all together!




Inspiration: Anne McCaffrey, Dragonflight


Who wills, can.

Who tries, does.

Who loves, lives.

 
Oh, and if anyone's checking in from the "I Miss You" blogfest, I'm nominating the late, great Miss Snark. The blog's been dark for several years, but man, that lady could dish out the writerly wisdom!

    I've heard about Miss Snark, I didn't realise she was dormant.

    And great quote! Simple and true. Enjoy your time out!

    Miss Snark was awesome. I think she's still around under her real name, though (if the rumors are right about her being Janet Reid). But, yeah, nothing beat those hilarious smackdowns of hers on clueless writers. :))

    And great quote! Enjoy your time off.

      I have my sneaking suspicions about that being her secret ID, too. ;)

    Actually, I just started following a Miss Snark blog. Maybe she just changed her address. It's all about good writerly advice.

    Yeah, she was awesome. But I love the Miss Snark's first victim site too! Glad that one is still very active.

    The dragon is adorable. :)

    I've heard of Miss Snark, but I didn't realize she'd stopped blogging in 2007.

    Love the dragon picture you posted.

    Oh my. Any mention of Miss Snark deserves a man genuflecting on bended knee. *this man genuflects*

    I'm serious. She was the first agent to make agent/writer blogging a thing. And she also spawned Authoress, at Miss Snark's First Victim, who does the greatest service the writing blogosphere has ever known.

    Hi Nicole .. enjoy your time away and break to rejuvinate yourself .. Miss Snark obviously instilled much blog-love during her active life .. perhaps she'll come back properly as JR Miss Snark or something .. cheers Hilary
