Quote for the Week

This week I've had the pleasure of attenting an acrylics workshop led by the energetic Claudia Jean Mccabe www.cjmccabe.com. The first day of the course, she gave us two wonderful Clauda-isms that has stuck with us during the week and are as applicable to writing as they are to art.

1) If you have a plan, how can you be surprised by joy?

2) How can you be afraid of getting lost if you don't know where you're going?

Happy writing!
