Teaser Tuesday Entry

" His heart warmed and beat a bit faster. A stream of white light entered the hall, blinding him for a second and then before him stood the most beautiful feminine form his partially impaired eyes had seen in his eighteen years"

Motivational Monday

Today's Motivational Monday entry is:

"If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes."

St. Clement of Alexandra

Let this guide your Monday and your week. Let hope spring eternal. You must dream and hope for the existence you want to create... then go and create it!! For, once you create that which you have hoped for, the world will open in ways you never imagined.

Conversely, if you never hope at all, you will forever live to create the hopes of others.

For me, my hopes are driving me to stretch my literary skills into uncharted territory a I prepare for NaNo WriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in November. It will be my first time participating and I will be writing in a genre that's new for me, Romance (actually Steamy Romance *wink*)

What hopes will drive you this week?

"Young women belonging to the Cult of Aphrodite, wearing thin, opaque tunics, welcomed Caenus as he entered. legend held that these women performed various and sundry 'services' for the citizens of Corinth... all for the glory of Aphrodite, of course."

Motivational Monday

Today's Message:

"Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash."
George S. Patton

I picked this one because I feel it!! To achieve anything worthwhile, at some point you must take some calculated risks. Consider all alternatives, then strike forward with everything you've got. It matters not if you fail, because the feeling of exhilaration you'll receive from simply taking the risk will be worth it.

So let me ask you... what will you risk today in order to get what you want?

Why Halloween Costumes Are Awesome!

The ancient world has held my soul captive for some time now. So, when It came time for me to choose a Halloween costume... well it was kind of a "duh" moment. It took me about 2... all right, maybe 3 seconds to find my perfect costume. As I put it on, I was immediately transported back to the world I write about in many of my stories.

It was kind of like "Ahhhhh, I'm home!" Angelic voices flooded my ears, a brilliant glow from Helios' fiery chariot cascaded over me, and my eyes panned the sumptuous Spartan landscape... All that without even leaving the costume store!!!

I felt like a Greek God when I put on the costume. Edit that... I WAS A GREEK GOD!! And what I'm saying to you is that the same transportation and elevation can, no I mean, WILL happen for you. 

Happy Halloweening and, as always, Let Your Inner Deity Shine Through!
