This post says it all. It is exactly where I am. Too many serious life events interfering with my twinkle. Hope to be able to push through it.

It’s like saying it’s impossible to write if there is no writing spirit in your heart and mind so twinkle, twinkle heart and mind.

AND it’s impossible to feel the twinkle if you don’t experience moments without. Have to have the good and the bad. I like this as food for thought.

Somehow, maybe because it’s my first one, PiBoIdMo makes me feel twinkly. Thanks, Tara. It must be all the inspiration twinkling through.

And sometimes difficult to make your characters twinkle while we ourselves are twinkle-less.

Yes, and how about “It’s impossible to make your manuscript sparkle, if you aren’t feeling sparkly yourself.’

Some days, I have to fake being twinkly. Like smiling and saying I Love You, it becomes real and I mean it.

Just like you can’t tell people to be grateful for what they have if you are not grateful yourself (I am a yoga teacher)
