I grabbed a pile of dust, and holding it up, foolishly asked for as many birthdays as the grains of dust, I forgot to ask that they be years of youth. ~ Ovid

I can’t believe the Frog Blog is five already! Congratulations from this grateful little pomegranate — or perhaps that should be Pamegranate? Merry Christmas to you and yours! Hope Santa brings you a Pumpkin Cake Roll to fuel your writing (or maybe one of those orange scones from Panera). Cheers!

Vicky – I agree with Buffy Silverman in that your posts always seem to arrive at just the right time. You’re my favorite ‘cheerleader’ when it comes to the writing world! Thank you for continuing to boost us up and inspire. As for topics, perhaps the advantages/disadvantages of using social media as a writer?

Vicky, I feel the same as Buffy Silverman—your words always seem to come at just the right time! You continue to be one of the best ‘cheerleaders’ in my life and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to hang out in your world. Keep up the good work!
(ps — topics? Hmmm…perhaps some guidance on using social media as a writer? How does it help? How does it hinder? What does a writer hope to gain? What does a participant hope to gain?)

Happy Birthday, Frog on a Dime! How about a post about writing children’s drama, plays?

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve never written a play for children, so that would be an interesting topic to explore. It’s fun to learn about new ways to ignite children’s imaginations (and our own). My best to you!
