300


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.

  2. You 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.

  3. Thank 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.

  5. So 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.

  12. Very good quotes grandson. The one with the snails you should send to Alex after his ISWG post today.

    Dragon hugs.

  13. 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.

    Love the inspiration!

  23. Hi, my dragon friend,

    Nice 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 :)

  25. There is so much awesomeness here!! Can't decide which is my fave- the snails or the bathing...

    ReplyDelete
  26. 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.

  27. 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! :)

  31. I most like the one about a year from now.

    Think I'll have those drunken dwarves do my taxes, so I can get a nice fat return.

  37. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I 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! :)

  39. I 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.
