Sometimes we know what we need to do, but we forget. I think that’s why writing blogs are helpful to writers — after a while, it’s not that we’re learning anything new, but we’re getting constant reminders (that are hopefully entertaining and/or eloquent). Today’s inspirational reminders come via my friend Angie. These are the ones that applied most to me, but there are about a dozen others if you click through.

Thanks, I needed this today. Especially the Finish what you start one.
I need to spend more time in the library for sure. ;)
These are great…so whimsical. I like the second one best. And I need to use my library more, too. It’s so close I can walk to it but I don’t go nearly enough.
Ack! Since we’re saving the internet today, I can’t see your friend’s site. Did she design these herself? Or did she collect them and put them altogether in a post? I ask because I really like them, and if she designed them, I might ask her to quote me on a cover design–if she would be interested in that sort of thing. Of course this is all moot if she’s not the one who created these spectacular images…
Sonje-
Blargh, SOPA/PIPA protests. I mean, I get it, I support it, but it’s frustrating.
Angie did not design these; I just like giving credit to the places where I find cool stuff. Here’s the link to the full set: http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/01/02/advice-to-sink-in-slowly/
Ignore both of them. Yep, I need to do that this week.
Ooh yes I saw these on Brain Pickings – brilliant. I especially like the “use your library” one. (I’m often shocked by how many people I know don’t go to libraries. And it’s not because they are so rich they just buy all the books they want to read).
Thanks so much for sharing this. I love the powerful simplicity of “Take Time.” I need that reminder more and more these days.
