Thanks for the links Karen!
ReplyDeleteA writing career is certainly like a roller coaster!
ReplyDeleteI try to keep my foot out of my mouth. It doesn't taste good.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm happy to see Susan's name on this list. Great shout-out for her!
ReplyDeleteI, too, try to avoid shoe leather. Coffee, though, helps on the odd occasion that I've not been successful. :D
Terri,
ReplyDeleteHope you find something Yes, this useful! :)
Diane,
It sure is. Some days are just more fun than others! :)
Alex,
Yes, this is good advice! Our feet definitely do not taste good! :)
Rhonda,
Susan's always got something good to share, doesn't she? :) Yes, coffee, or in my case, tea, is a great help!
Happy writing,
Karen
Thanks so much, Karen. I followed Susan's blog. Seems very informative. You're the best! Susan
ReplyDeleteI have to check out that one by Kristen Lamb. Thanks Karen!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links, Karen. I especially liked Kristen Lamb's article. It's true: we're all human and we mess up sometimes, like the news anchor, the other night, who said, "The accident left him in a vegetarian state."
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Jean
Thanks for the links, Karen. :)
ReplyDeleteSusan,

Lydia,
I thought it was a good one. Hope you like it! :)
Jean,
Yes, and I think we need to remember the human part. Can't tell you how many times I've flubbed my words! :)
Susan R.,
You are welcome! Hope something strikes a chord! :)
Happy writing,
Karen
Afraid I have to put it all down to my age, Karen, nothing to be done about that! :0)
ReplyDeleteOooo, lots of links to keep me busy. Thanks, Karen!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links. Looks like it's going to be a busy afternoon! ;)

Nas,
You are most welcome! :)
Happy writing,

It's amazing how the older I get the more I realize I don't know.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links, Karen. You are a sweetheart for passing them along.
Hi Karen - your links always have some great places of advice to go to .. and don't we all put our foot right in the middle of things sometimes .. I know I do .. wish I could keep my mouth shut quite often!
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
Thanks Karen, my husband's mobility scooter arrives this weekend, should make a big difference to our lives!
ReplyDeleteKaren, Thank you so much for the shout out. I'm looking forward to your blog tour! Susan S.
ReplyDeleteJoylene,
ReplyDeleteMe too! And here we thought we had it all figured out, lol. :) Thanks a bunch!
Hilary,
Thank you! Hope you find something helpful. :) Yes, putting a foot in the mouth is something I can be good at too!
Carole,
Hope that all works out well for you! :) I am sure it will be a help.
Susan,
Your blog is a wonderful stop for writers! Looking forward to stopping by your place too! :)
Happy writing,
Karen
Thank you so much for the schmorgesbord of amazing information! Where to go first???!!
ReplyDeleteOne thing is certain--you really make it tempting to check out new places!
Bless you, Karen!!
Thanks for the great links.
ReplyDeleteHmm, foot in mouth? Yep, on occasion. Sigh.
Karen I have stuck my foot in my mouth MANY a time in a comment. It's usually because the context comes out wrong and can be lost in writing. Same with texting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links, Karen!
ReplyDeleteCheryl,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! I enjoy sharing these goodies. Hope you find something useful here. :)
Lynda,
Oh yeah, me too. Like my sister has said, they need to invent a portable hole that you can carry with you and crawl into when necessary. :)
Keith,
You know, I wonder if it has anything to do with our brains moving so far ahead of us...Maybe? lol
Susie,
You are welcome! Glad to hear you had a great vacation!
Happy weekend,
Karen
Feet in the mouth is more like it at times but I'm getting better...and yes, I agree with Alex J Cavanaugh, it doesn't taste good! Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the links! I wish FB had an "edit" option like G+; scheduling tweets via Tweetdeck usually helps me avoid typos there.
ReplyDeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteI know, sometimes both my feet end up in my mouth! :) Thanks a bunch!
Milo,
You are welcome. I think we need an edit button for life, maybe? :)
Happy writing,
Karen
