Disclosure: I make money off this site. Very little, but I want to be open about it. There are ads in the sidebar, and sometimes Amazon Affiliate links in the posts. I never do paid content or reviews. That's it. So are we cool? Awesome!
Beautiful and confident Sophie Lin, goody-goody aspiring writer Claudia Bradford, and boy-crazy scientist MJ Alexander are ready to tackle work, love, and life after college -- or so they think.
As their relationships go sour, their careers sputter, and a few too many ethical dilemmas arise, the girls turn to the one thing they can always count on: each other. But even that will be put to the test...

Welcome to New House 5. It’s not just the top floor of a brand new dorm. For 56 freshmen, it’s home. A place where friends are made and doors are always open. A place where hearts are broken and tears are shed.
Watch as these students try to overcome their flaws and fears to create a bond so special that nothing can pull them apart. Not even themselves.

so much easier said than done, but so damn true.

Very true. I think of this in relation to editing (because that’s what I’m doing now). You can definitely over-edit something and take the life out of it (this happens in recording music, too).
• Recent post from Anthony Lee Collins: language on the qt
Hear, hear. Just do.
• Recent post from Mieke Zamora-Mackay: The Interview In Which I Share My Advice on Writing
So true, so incredibly true.
• Recent post from Shari: Cracking the Books … or the Internet.
I needed this today!
Uh-huh

Kristan, love the handwritten blog posts! I also think there’s value sometimes in doing less. Sometimes we can work too hard at something and just taking a step back and produce surprising results. All easier said than done, of course.

Sonje-
I think you’re missing the point. :P
Meghan-
Thanks! And YES: “I also think there’s value sometimes in doing less.”
James Dean once said that acting was like developing film. To develop properly it had to be exposed to some light, but too much exposure ruined it. I think that’s true of many things, including thinking and doing. It’s all about balance.
Agreed!
