A Change of Perspective -- is a Beneficial Thing!

It's not one of my days for posting but I've just read Kristen Lamb's latest blog post, and I think it deserves as wide an audience as possible.

It fits in with one of Holly’s early lessons in HTTS, and is a wonderful example of positive thinking.

I had to chuckle because I’d done a lot of the chores in the top half of Kristen’s list – and was far from feeling anything like gratitude   Having been offered a different perspective on what changing the sheets means (and washing clothes, doing the dishes), I felt a whole lot more positive about my morning’s work.

And not only that, I have had some time to sit and revise my short story today AND I am able to go to evening class tonight. My life seems suddenly richer. I need to print that list of Kristen’s and pin it up where I can see it — every day!

I hope you can find time to look through it and I hope it does for you what it did for me

And for all those who live on the opposite side of the Pond from the UK, have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Kristen Lamb's Blog - Offer for November

I've been following Kristen Lamb's blog for some time. You can find her blog here.

Kristen is doing a great series of blog posts about novel-writing. During November, she's also offering, to everyone who leaves a comment on her blog, to put their name into a hat. By commenting and linking back to her blog you get your name in twice, and if you also mention her book We Are Not Alone - the Writer's Guide to Social Media then your name goes in three times.

Each week during November, the prize is a critique of your first five pages.
And that's not all! At the end of November, Kristen will pick a winner for the grand prize: a free critique on the first 15 pages of your novel.

So get on over to her site here, read what she has to say and get your name into that hat.
