Ciao, amici! Here we are, the fourth and last week of Advent. I would be posting this in a few days (my regular Monday post), but that’s Christmas Eve. I’m assuming many of you will be busy. I know I will be! So I thought I should deliver your links before you take some time off.
But first, I wanted to be sure I finished strong and gave you a writing quote that suits the theme of the fourth week: Peace.
A writer who writes knows peace…
Not writing is ache, betrayal, death of the soul and imagination.
I think Coco J. Ginger really nailed it with that one. I know I feel a sense of contentment when I’m putting my gifts to use. And that is my wish for you, both on the last Sunday of Advent and always. I hope you find peace. Peace in your work, peace in your life.

Love this quote! It is so true. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday with your family!
BTW, just finished Mind Control, and caught Kevin Tran. Heh. Pretty sneaky for a Supernatural fan 😀

Funny thing about Kevin Tran… I didn’t catch the Supernatural reference until after the book was published. The name (in my book) is an amalgam of two of the best tae kwon do instructors my kids ever had. It sounded good to me, much better than if I’d chosen the opposite first and last names. Now I realize why it had such a ring to it. lol
Hope you’re enjoying your holiday!

Great quote, and many thanks for the link. I’m preparing a story about a famous Greek sculptor who was denied his art until his old age. In the brief time left, he swiftly became the best sculptor Greece has seen since antiquity. More on that soon, I promise 🙂
