What do you collect?

You may be wondering what in the world this photo could be. Do you think that it’s a quilt? If that’s what you thought, sorry, it’s not. Better luck next time!
Last week I posted that I had prepared something cool for a post this week. Well, this is it! I spent all of an hour arranging this photo so that it looked like a quilt, but as I said before, it’s not. You probably want to know what it is, right? Ok, I will tell you. The photo is my entire pajama bottom collection laid out neatly on the carpet. Can you tell that I am a perfectionist? Well, I am. That’s all of my PJ bottoms and I want more. I collect them; have been for some time now. I salivate when I see a cute pair of PJ bottoms. Not only are they comfy but they are super cute. I even wear them to the store. Yes, I am one of those people, not that it's bad. I especially love PJ bottoms that have dog or monkey prints. When I was younger I collected pennies, but not anymore. You could say that I collect passport stamps because I travel a lot. But when it comes down to it, I collect PJ bottoms.
I had a friend who collected pencils of all varieties. They were cool.
Now, I want to hear about your collecting obsessions. What is it and why do you collect it? You may even post a photo of your collection. Share the collection with the world!

I wonder who has the strangest collection. We’ll never know unless if you post. So post, post, post away!

Great Chinese State Circus - Swan Lake

How does someone even get to the point that they can do this??? Is it even humanly possible? Wow! Thought this was amazing enough that I would share it with the blogger world. Enjoy!

Blogging Tip

I noticed that I am constantly thinking of ideas for posts but forgetting the ideas. I decided that I would write them down in a notebook so that I don't forget them. I had a super silly idea for a post last night so I ended up preparing it for a future post. I can't wait to post it. Are you all in suspense now? Well, you should be. It will come this week, I promise.

Tweet Tweet Tweet Away

So, I joined Twitter yesterday. It is somewhat of an odd feeling to be a tweeter now. This is one thing that I simply vowed never, ever in a million years to do. Well, I did vow never to go back to school but I am in a French class now. Guess that I shouldn’t vow not to do things anymore. ☺ Hehe! It was a cool experience to not be near a computer today and send a tweet through my cell phone. I felt all giddy inside, like I am really into the social networking grove now. Just now I logged onto twitter and there the tweet be in all its glory. Anyway, this is just another step to progressing to becoming a published author. Hallelujah for social networking. Well, now I get to tweet away and feel excited every time that I do. If you are on Twitter, lets follow each other. @writingjewels1 or http://twitter.com/WritingJewels1 is where you can find me.

For some reason, whenever I think of Twitter, Tweety Bird pops into my head. Does that happen to you, or am I just weird?

Writing Conferences – A Must for any Writer

I enjoyed my first writing conference yesterday. It was invaluable. All writers, aspiring all the way to published writers, must take advantage of the opportunity. Not only did I learn valuable information and writing tips, but also I gained one piece of much needed advice; I need to be in a critique group. Chris Schoebinger, a publisher who attended the conference, said if you want to be published, you must be in a critique group.
While at the conference, I found my critique group. Yah!!! A few of us decided that getting published was important enough to follow through with the advice. This excites me and should excite all aspiring writers to take this important step to making the dream of being published a reality.
