Let’s have some fun. Can you help me think of something that has to do with writing or editing or publishing for each letter of the alphabet? Do as many as you want, but keep the order. If the list is at D, don’t jump ahead to P. Put your addition(s) in comments and when we finish the entire alphabet, I will pull it together and put it in one post. Do as many as you like.
Be creative. Think outside the box. Have fun. And keep it relatively short. We don’t want essays for each letter. Good luck and thanks for helping. I'll start it.
Anticipation is what writers, agents, editors and publishers feel as they await word on their work. (Note: often followed by depression when work gets thumbs down.)
Hey, did you borrow that idea from me? :)
ReplyDeleteOK, so... B is for bookstore! That was easy. C is for creativity.
ReplyDeleteHey Joan. Did you do something similar? I'll have to check it out. Was it on your blog? You know what they say, great minds think alike. Although I think your mind is probably a lot greater than mine:)
