lindsay's Writing Room

Jon Land -- One of the greatest thriller writers ever! He is the next James Patterson.

Anything Stephen King. Nothing beats "It" ~ definetly the creepiest clown of all time.

Everything and anything Dr. Seuss. Never has an author been able to bring more smiles to more readers. My favorite...Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.
The Power of One by Bryce Courtney.
The Eight by Katherine Neville
The House at Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne

Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio...the creative minds who penned The Pirates of the Carribean movies.

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich written by Charlie Kaufman...he has redefined originality in story telling.

Heroes

My Grammy. Her generoisty and compassion, unrivaled. Her bravery and strength, unimaginable. Through all she has been through (she is a concentration camp survivor) she has never lost the ability to laugh, love, and live life. She is all that I could aspire to be.

Quotes

"The reason 99% of all stories written are not bought by editors is very simple. Editors never buy manuscripts that are left on the closet shelf at home".
--John Campbell

"It's better to be lucky than it's lucky to be smart".
-- King Charlamagne

"For anyone who is: just keep writing. Keep reading. If you are meant to be a writer, a storyteller, it’ll work itself out. You just keep feeding it your energy, and giving it that crucial chance to work itself out. By reading and writing."
-- Robin McKinley

"If you think that something small cannot make a difference, try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room."
-- Anonymous

"If you haven't got an idea, start a story anyway. You can always throw it away, and maybe by the time you get to the fourth page you will have an idea, and you'll only have to throw away the first three pages."
--William Campbell Gault

A Few More Things

I have severe addiction to diet coke...It's bad, really bad. I order two at a time at a restaurant, seriously.

I love to sing and dance, although I am tone deaf and have absolutely no rhythm, but it's fun, and I like fun.

I love candy! It's my fav. I'd rather eat a bag of candy corn then anything. I also love peeps, you know, the pink little bunnies that come out at easter, the sugar covered sugar. They're great!

I am a runner. I have been running with my dad since I have been 5. You'd think I'd be good, but I'm not.

Laughing is my favorite. I laugh alot and I laugh loudly. I have one of those really annoying, hear you from across the football stadium laughs. I think it's essential to have at least one good belly laugh a day.

Hobbies

Obviously, I like to write. I spend a good amount of my free time scribbling thoughts, ideas and stories into a notebook. Yes, I still write by hand.

I also love to read. Nothing is better than escaping into a great book.

Playing on the internet. Can't say I spend too much time in one place. I am a big lurker on many different sites. Love to see what people are talking about.

		Dear Lindsay I have sent a message to Ms Gilda Reeves about something funny I encountered (Book 59840/Author ID 70109 /Given SKU 66168 compare with SKU 61655) Please look into this. I think it is not very professional on the part of PR especially when it suggests that ISBN has to be taken on each cover! I am writing after a long gap which would, I hope excuse my audacity in giving this post. Thank you in advance! A P

		I thought I would approach you about a possible networking relationship between us. I have started a site that is also free that would serve a useful purpose to your members. We list a variety of blogs but looking for more 'writer' type blogs. This could be another way for your members to get their writings read. I could and would direct all writers who list with the Farm to consider joining The Writing Room in return for you doing the same. I could and would also place it into my site so anyone visiting could see it. Just one hand washing the other. Think about it and check us out, if interested you can contact me personally at: johnwgilbert@hotmail.com Thanks Below is typically what I place on discussion boards. ___________________ If you have a blog, consider listing it with: The Blog Farm Share your writings or poems with a growing audience. Novels, short stories or poetry. The Blog Farm - A library of shared personal experiences, observations and aspirations. http://www.theblogfarm.com/
