Are you knocking on the right door?

When one door closes, open another.
When that door refuses to open, knock on another.
When that door is locked, you just have the wrong key.

There are 1000's of doors and there is one waiting to open FOR YOU:)

    This is so true. I almost turned away from the door, but glad I didn't. Thanks for sharing this mantra.

      Thank you. Maybe it will, but of it doesn't I have the other door that could be opened for my non-fiction which is my main project.

    Determination, flexibility, keeping one's eye on the goal... definitely all part of the knocking. Good thoughts, Ink.

      You're so right, Julie! Without them, I probably would have quit a long time ago!

    Then again, if I don't have the right key, I start knocking on windows... *insert HUGE grinning emoticon*

    Or there's the old adage about opening a window. But if this is an attempt to enter, I guess the police won't like that.

      I guess that all depends on who's on the other side of the window. It just might be someone who's been expecting you!

    That's right--just keep knocking on those doors!! Eventually someone has to answer, right?

Writer In Motion CP feedback

Hey beautiful guys and dolls! Here it is! My CP feedback edited story. Had a hard time with this, but I hope it makes sense. I've got a post I'm working on I plan to put up after Thanksgiving. Here ya go. Enjoy... Every morning I wake to carnival day.  Today, though, I have my key. If I don’t use it before midnight, my way of escape will gone. It’s a silver key with a twisted metal handle, a sapphire stone half moon and engraved stars. There’s a tiny inscription on the moon, but it’s so small, I’ve never been able to read it.I’ve always kept mine in my jewelry box, but today, I string it on a ribbon and tie it around my neck. My two best friends will be wearing theirs, too, and I wonder how they will escape this carnival of dreams. “What’s it for?” Cress asks as we stand in line for the swings.

Friday's post

Hey all:) I'm taking today and this weekend off. A very, VERY dear, sweet, and close friend of my family passed away this week. And we just got word that his wife's brother, (whom I love like a mother) died last night. So she is dealing with the death of her husband and her brother. Enjoy your weekend, my friends, and hold those you love close. You never know when they will be gone. I will return on Monday, and will have workshop classes every day next week.
