Five Star Friday's Edition #66

Write what you want to read. The person you know best in this world is you. Listen to yourself. If you are excited by what you are writing, you have a much better chance of putting that excitement over to a reader.

   — Robin McKinley

Accept that it is Friday and that you're not really going to get any work done anyway. Five Star Friday is here, so set yourself on cruise and enjoy the ride.

Also, and I mean this seriously, drop URLs to your own awesome entries in the comments. Be shameless.
