***As writers, it can be very gratifying to pull one over on your readers. But it’s even more gratifying if you’ve surprised them despite the foreshadowing and clues you’ve planted throughout your story. (Jordan McCollum - Surprise- and Betrayal)

***I'm on the hunt for that healthy, slim body I use to have. I lost it somewhere between my kids graduating from high school and my becoming a grandma. (Kathi Oram Peterson - Hunting for a Healthy Body)

***There is no better feeling than being a part of a family. Even on days when I'm frustrated or angry, I wouldn't give up my family for anything.I'm not just talking about my husband and kids, although, I love them more than anything and anyone in the world and they are the center of my world. (Nichole Giles - ...I Love My Family)

***Ok, whatever, that's my alter ego speaking. I'm actually very timid and scared to death of submitting my work. The reason? Take a guess... it's only one word.
You're right. Rejection. The fear of rejection is almost paralyzing. (Autumn Ables - I Can Do This. Just Breathe)
