It's Been Awhile

I haven't felt like writing in awhile. I have a long "to do" list and I was getting very discouraged. Plus, I felt stuck, paralyzed, afraid to move ahead. Instead, I was focusing on work and places in my life where I felt I was more successful and could see instantly my goals being met. Ugh! But now that RWA Conference is coming up and after having spoken to a fellow writer, who was very encouraging today, I'm getting back in the swing of things again. I'm getting my mojo back. Whoo Hoo!

And to celebrate my mojo being reawaken, I'm copying some quotes from one of my favorite silver screen actresses. More to come later on the writing front...

From Mae West, the queen of the double entendré:

A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up.

Ten men waiting for me at the door? Send one of them home, I'm tired.

A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars, that's subtraction.

A woman in love can't be reasonable - or she probably wouldn't be in love.

Any time you've got nothing to do and lots of time to do it come on up.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.

It is better to be looked over than overlooked.

Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else.

She's the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.

Don't marry a man to reform him - that's what reform schools are for.

Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can't figure out what from.

Say what you want about long dresses, but they cover a multitude of shins.

Opportunity knocks for every man, but you have to give a woman a ring.

Save a boyfriend for a rainy day - and another, in case it doesn't rain.

Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you.

He's the kind of man a woman would have to marry to get rid of.

His mother should have thrown him out and kept the stork.

One and one is two, and two and two is four, and five will get you ten if you know how to work it.

Love thy neighbor - and if he happens to be tall, debonair and devastating, it will be that much easier.

I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it.

I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.

I like restraint, if it doesn't go too far.

I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.

I only like two kinds of men, domestic and imported.

When I'm good I'm very, very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.

I've been things and seen places.

Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often.

When women go wrong, men go right after them.
