For those who talk to much lol

A bleating sheep loses a bite

Those who talk too much may miss an important opportunity: “He said something about a bleating sheep losing a bite; but I should think this young man is not much of talker” (Ted Hughes,

Tom Brown at Oxford,

 1861). the proverb was first recorded in1599, with wording closer to that of the variant form.  Variant of this proverb: the sheep that bleats loses a mouthful.

The best Things are free

The best things in life are free

The most rewarding or satisfying experiences in life are often those that cost nothing; also used of the wonders of nature or of abstract qualities such as health and friendship:

The best things in life are free, and what could be better than a brisk walk across the hill on a sunny winter’s morning?

The proverb originated in 1927 as the title of a song, which contains the following lines: “The moon belongs to everyone, /the best things in life are free, /the stars belong to everyone, /they gleam there for you and me.”  Proverb expressing similar meaning:

Money isn’t everything

Proverbs

all men are created equal

No person is born superior or inferior to another,so all should have equal rights: “Colonel Cathcart was infused with the democraticspirit: he believed that all men were cre-ated equal, and therefore spurned all menoutside Group Headquarters with equalfervor” (Joseph Heller,

Catch-22,

1955).The proverb comes from the Declara-tion of Independence (1776), in whichThomas Jefferson wrote: “We hold thesetruths to be self-evident, that all men arecreated equal, that they are endowed bytheir Creator with certain unalienableRights, that among these are Life, Liberty,and the pursuit of Happiness.”Proverbs expressing similar mean-ing:

jack’s as good as his master; allanimals are equal, but some are moreequal than others.

#The Life of a Writer

Self publishing.

I'm embarking on a journey towards the self publishing industry. I've been writing short stories since i was young enough to read Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys. I'm noticing that it can be a lot  more rewarding than most people think . This includes me. I was always in the direction of going to a traditional publisher.Well i always writing half of the novel and then top  for reasons unknown. Lately, as i get more and more interested I've been hearing stories about people being rejected. I know that is a tremendous pain in the ass when you have a piece of art you want to share with the world and it gets rejected. Self - publishing is your own kind of business and it entails a lot of work. Marketing is the main thing that  is a huge factor especially if you a first time writer.. Below i will be posting a lot of video's  i thought were interesting and that gave me some insight..

My First blog post!

My name is India. The picture above is my acceptance letter to the North Central Region campus in Vinton, Iowa. I'm excited and nervous all at once. I'm thankful and honored. I really though that i didn't get accepted because it took so long for them to make the decision to whether or not I was accepted or not. Any who, I've been doing tons and tons of research and yet i am still in need for clarification. !
