Quote Of The Day

Viola Davis Quote:

Viola Davis Quote

What’s Up With Me?

So much to say this week. Well, first of all our fellow blogger Alex Diaz-Granados published Reunion: Coda which is the second book of the Reunion Duology. I reviewed the first one some time ago and very much enjoyed it. You can read the full review here. And now I’m excited to read this one. For anyone interested in checking out the book or books, you can do so here.

In other news, someone tried to steal my content again. This happens to me every once in a while and every single time it’s freaking annoying. First of all, what makes you think you can just copy and paste someone else’s post word for word. And second of all, don’t follow my blog if you’re going to steal my content. That’s so weird to do because obviously I’m going to know if you steal my content and then start following me. And lastly, why even create a blog if you’re going to steal content? What is the point of that? Anyway, thankfully the post seems to have been taken down after I contacted them privately and asked them to do so.

    It’s a lovely quote. And very much appreciated today.

    I’m not listening to anything at all. I feel a migraine coming on and that’s the first sign. Noise of any kind sets my nerves on fire. Usually if I can isolate a bit, I can ward it off. 🤞🏼

    First, thank you, Pooj, for mentioning my book. I’m quite excited about releasing it into the “wild,” as it were (even though publishing the print edition has been….difficult). I hope you will like it even more than “Reunion: A Story,” and I can’t wait to see your thoughts about it.

    Second, the quote is so fitting for folks with dreams!

    All dreams are within reach if you dream right.
    All stars shine bright in the dark of the night.
    People come and people go,
    People smile and people woe,
    Things are never black and white
    Even when they seem alright
    Sometimes early, sometimes late
    We are learning our fate
    It is here, it is now time to manage it somehow
    Time to trust and do your best,
    Persevere, stand the test.
    Feelings come and feelings go,
    Sometimes high and sometimes low…

    A good, motivating quote.

    I cannot figure out why people start blogs and then feature only stolen – or at least uncredited – works of others. Like, posting song lyrics without crediting the songwriter, presenting them as if they’re the blogger’s own poetry. What is the point?!

    I’m sorry for the try at theft. I appreciate it only being a try, but still it must be nerve-wracking. I agree, why make something public like a blog if you intend to steal someone’s else work?

      Absolutely, consistency is the key to success in many cases. In the world we live in, especially more recently, people have become impatient and prefer instant gratification. But realistically, a lot of goals take much longer to achieve.

        It’s just like in IG or Facebook. There are so many fake accounts, but they usually don’t last. You can’t steal art, Pooja. You can copy a piece of it, but its essence resides on the artist him/herself.
