Writing From Spite
Have you ever written a guest post and thought, “Hey, maybe I shouldn’t have been quite that honest?”
Yeah, me too. Recently, actually. 
And, for the record, I don’t just write for spite. I also write for my kids, the glory of the written word, the elusive possibility of attaining a literary sort of immortality… and money. Gotta love money.
Have a great week! (And thanks to Samantha for asking me to share!)

hahaha There’s no such thing as being too honest, Nikki. But writing for all these other reasons are givens, I think. And, of course, because we love it.
Have fun in New Mexico.

Um, no… sadly, I’m not popular enough to be invited to guest post. Its tragic, really ( ;
But I DO know what its like being too honest on social networking sites. Usually I get smart and pull it down really quick, lest anyone discover that my maturity level is that of a junior high student. But I suppose that method of self damage control doesn’t work in the case of guest posting, eh?

Julie, you will be someday! I don’t think I embarrassed myself too badly in retrospect. Well, not any more than I usually do. ;P

Thanks, S! I am having fun – and one sweet day of Internet access before the writing begins… hope you haven’t melted in Texas!
