The WriteShots and The Quote Effect

The WriteShots

I am honoured that Henie has invited me to guest post at her lovely blog The WriteShots. She takes beautiful photographs that she posts and writes about, which makes it a photo blog with deeply personal and beautiful writing.

Please take some time to read my post at The Write Shots. I’m closing comments here, and will read and reply to your comments over there. Thank you!

The Quote Effect

Davina at Shades of Crimson has compiled the loveliest eBook I have ever read. She contacted more than 30 bloggers, myself included, to collect the best quotes from each of their sites.

The result is a stunning book of 90 quotes that rivals the commercially produced ones I’ve seen at major bookstores. The only difference is that you get this free!

To read more about this project, read Davina’s post launching the eBook at Shades of Crimson, or download The Quote Effect here.
