Alex J. Cavanaugh, founder of Insecure Writer's Support Group, asked for posts of 300 words tops since many of you are in the jolly race of the A to Z. My posts are never short but I'll be a good dragon this month. IWSG is about encouraging one another so I share with you the best 300 words I could find.
And specially for those in the A to Z,
Disclaimer: Not 300 words? Blame my word counters (a.k.a dwarves). Ordering rounds of beers while counting with their fingers harmed accuracy.
Brilliant. True - and achievable. Thank you Sir Dragon. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteYou are the best dragon friend ever. These quotes are beautiful, thank you for sharing them. I hope the dwarves don't get too drunk, things could go terribly awry in the cave.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sir. I needed these words of inspiration on my way to court. I testify for a conrested hearing and hope my words do not adversly affect this child's chance for adoption. I will remember these words, and do my best.
ReplyDeleteHi Al - wonderful set of quotes to keep us on the straight and narrow .. while opening up enormous possibilities in this brilliant life .. if plan A doesn't work there's always next year .. but I hope no-one gives up .. cheers and I sure hope your cave is looking after you right now - Hilary
ReplyDeleteSo much inspiration, thanks Al. Zig's motivation quote was hilarious but true. My fave is the slow post, people always say it matters that you start but not stopping matters eve more. A Plan A-Z is way better than just a plan A. Thanks for all these quotes.
ReplyDeleteA year from now - that one is so poignant.
ReplyDeleteGood dragon!
Wonderful quotes! A lot of them hit home for me.
ReplyDeleteOh man I loved them all, but the A year from now you will wish you started today...wow story of my life, lol.

But what if Plan B doesn't work either???
ReplyDeleteHehe! What great quotes! I particularly like the last one, the one by Audrey Hepburn, and the one with the snails.
ReplyDeleteOoo...I'm going to copy some of these.
ReplyDeleteVery good quotes grandson. The one with the snails you should send to Alex after his ISWG post today.
ReplyDeleteDragon hugs.
Very inspiring, Al. I particularly liked the one about regretting not starting today one year from now. Today is always the best day to get going.
ReplyDeleteAh... Always good to see an inspirational IWSG post every once in a while. As a slow writer, the snail one really made me smile.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THESE, FD!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing... SO WISE... THE DRAGON!
Stay cool Al! Love the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHey there Al! Awesome post! I think I may borrow some of those images for when I need them myself. :) I already borrowed one or two from another blog. I take inspiration from where I can get it! You are a very wise dragon Sir! Have a great day! Lily-Eva, April IWSG Co-host
ReplyDeleteI love these! Perfect timing for some inspiration to hit me over the head...yes, insecurities need to be knocked out of me lol
ReplyDeleteI like the "year from now you'll wish you had started today". How very very true is that. Thanks for the encouragements Al. SHs
ReplyDeleteI love a quote and these were some brilliant quotes. Thanks Al.
ReplyDeleteLove the Zig Ziglar one! The last one's cute, too. :)
ReplyDeleteIWSG #243, until Alex culls the list again.
Nice positivity booster.
ReplyDeleteDo like the snails, as I am so behind, at least in my own mind regarding my third book!
ReplyDeleteLove the inspiration!
Hi, my dragon friend,
ReplyDeleteNice quotes and thankfully, not too much reading. And the last one, a grim reminder that the ridiculous A to Z has only just begun. Wake me up in May, my kind dragon :)
Penny, the pawsitive host of the Alphabark Challenge, 2014!
These are wonderful and worth reading over and over. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThere is so much awesomeness here!! Can't decide which is my fave- the snails or the bathing...
ReplyDeletevery interesting post

I am the snails for sure. Slow and steady wins the race for me. Or at least that's what I'd like to think.

When they say dragon's are treasure hoarders, they weren't kidding. You at least allow us a chance to glimpse at the gold you plunder...err...find! :)
ReplyDeleteVisiting your post from Robin @ Your Daily Dose. Great post and love all the quotes which are so inspirational and Lord knows I need some inspiration daily as I struggle to stop smoking..
ReplyDeleteI'm possible! I love that. Thanks Al!
ReplyDeleteI am sitting here, wearing this great big smile. So many snippets of inspiration. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI most like the one about a year from now.
ReplyDeleteThink I'll have those drunken dwarves do my taxes, so I can get a nice fat return.

Robin from Daily Dose sent me your way, since I love dragons I could not resist! Nice to meet you. New follower
ReplyDeleteLove your blog site, and love those dragons. There is a very nice children's book called "My Father's Dragon" that I can recommend. Looking forward to more!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Loved them all, and great way to post. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSurely this is a site well worth seeing.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly fit a ton of inspiring awesomeness in one post, my friend! Cheers to "I'm Possible" and everything in between!

I will save all three hundred of these and refer to them constantly. There's something here for every one on every down or up day!
ReplyDeleteI love them all, especially the one you tagged for the A-Z people (that hop is kicking my butt!) and the one from Zig Ziglar. Yes, every day is a new day, and every day we must find a reason to try again. Thanks so much, Al! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Audrey Hepburn quote. I hadn't read that one before. The "Plan A" one I have read before but it's one of my favorites. Thanks for all (300?) good words.
ReplyDeletedude, where's the quote that says when all else fails use binoculars?? man!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all those wonderful quotes! Big Hugs!
