Classy Quotes Wednesday–C.S. Lewis–A GRIEF OBSERVED

C.S. Lewis and wife, Joy Davidman Gresham It seems that grief comes in different incarnations for each of us. Just this week, I read a post by Mary DeMuth about feeling abandoned by God when she moved to France: http://www.marydemuth.com/2012/09/sometimes-god-is-far-heres-why/. It’s easy to make light of this grief, but Mary shared on my FB wall that she even suffered PTSD… Read More

Classy Quotes Wednesday–GATSBY

Robert Redford as Gatsby–GQ Magazine cover March 13, 1974 I was stymied for what to use for my classy quotes Wednesday today. Finally, I landed on one of the bazillions of cleverly-turned phrases in The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This particular phrase illustrates some well-placed dialogue. Yes, there are dialogue tags like “he remarked,” but sometimes I think… Read More

Classy Quotes Wednesday–Goethe

Okay, so I fully admit that I haven’t read much, if any, Goethe. (But I can say it with a cool German accent!) Today’s quote was just something that made me smile, especially as the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) conference is coming up and I am bummed, yes, BUMMED about not going this year. This is soley because I’ve… Read More

Classy Quotes Wednesday–Leif Enger

If you’ve never read Peace Like a River by Leif Enger, I hope you put it on your TBR list. Not only does he sport a very VIKING name (hee), he’s also an author with a knack for beautiful turns of phrase. Today, I’m quoting a little something from Peace Like a River that I’d scrawled in one of my… Read More

Classy Quotes Wednesday–ROBERT HAYDEN

Today I’m harking back to my college days again, since I’m still sorting through boxes of textbooks. Just stumbled upon a poem by Robert Hayden that frequently springs to mind. It truly captures the vast divide between childish vs adult thinking.  If you’re anything like I was as a teen, you think you know what kind of parent you’ll be…. Read More

Classy Quotes Wednesday–Thomas Hardy–A PAIR OF BLUE EYES

I’ll admit that I’m not much of a romance person. That’s not to say I don’t read some romance or write romantic stuff into my storylines. I’m just not all about romance. But sometimes a writer captures the tenuous heartbeat of love in an unforgettable way. To me, Thomas Hardy is one of those authors. Yes, his books wouldn’t be… Read More

Things that made me happy this week: my willow tre Things that made me happy this week: my willow tree, steadily growing bigger every year; bought myself a copy of Sunrise on the Reaping (but am I really feeling dystopian enough to read it? Not yet); my first irises of spring; and finally an Etsy decal I’m thinking about getting for my car since I’m such a #tombraider fan and still playing through #TombRaiderRemastered. What made you happy this week? #authorsofig #authorlife #writerofinstagram #westvirginiawriter #wvmountainmomma #wvauthor #southernwv #gamergirls #gamermom  #springflowers #appalachianspring
