My take. Not really, I swear Nalah made me do it!

Sumario of my day:
  • Marketing budget (boooooring)
  • Magazine advertising contract *wants to cry about budget*
  • Pretend I’m updating company blog but actually checking up my fellow bloggers Update company's blog.
  • Tweet all over  Update company's tweets.
  • Send my Facebook friends lots of love and play Farmville Check company's Facebook messages.
  • Research for trendy material for new plot for my book company’s new advertising campaign.
  • Jog, (yeah right! Walk sweet Nalah).
  • Prepare dinner Blog,

During my extensive marketing research this afternoon, haha, I came across these wonderful quotes from famous writers, and here’s my take on their awesomeness of advice and take on life. (there’s no animosity (Not trying to hurt anybody’s feelings here!) involved, I just thought it be fun to share)


I keep six honest serving men. (They taught me all I know); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who.
- Rudyard Kipling
These are my writing coach's friends as well! I wonder when is she going to introduce them! *sigh*

An original writer is not one who imitates nobody, but one whom nobody can imitate.

We are ninjas dude! Swords are necessary.


There are three difficulties in authorship: to write anything worth the publishing, to find honest men to publish it, and to get sensible men to read it.

You think?


Writers aren't exactly people, they're a whole lot of people trying to be one person.

  3. Mia, I agree. I love pirates! Pirates chicks do pretty well, maybe a ninja-pirate combination is a good thing after all; just keep the comment for the third date;)

  6. Saul Bellow's full of crap. I'd like to see him try to pick up chicks with that "writer" business today.

    And F. Scott Fitzgerald is so spot on it's scary.

    Nice quotes, good lady! :)
