Back in my blog's early days I ran a weekly
Sunday Surfing series that provided links to cyberplaces I found interesting. These were the days I found myself hopping aboard one meme train after another. Remember them?
Kreativ Blogger Award,
The Versatile Blogger,
The Booker, but the one I liked most was
The Lucky Seven.

The Lucky Seven (7-7-7) required a writer to post the seven sentences that begin on the seventh line of page seven (or seventy-seven) of their WIP. I found interesting excerpts on many writers' blogs, but there was one excerpt that amazed me. It came from
Sol of the Coliseum written by Adam Gaylord.
(I linked it in a Sunday Surfing post almost three years ago, but it's worth linking again. You can find it here. And in October 2015, Mirror World Publishing is releasing the book from which that excerpt came, so be sure to congratulate him!)
Adam has recently begun a blog series of his own:
Writing Tip Tuesdays. Each Tuesday, Adam--or a guest--provides a tip for us writers. He kicked off the series by inviting someone named
David Powers King. (
Does anyone out there know who this guy is? I hear he teamed up with Michael Jensen and wrote some book called Woven that's garnering all sorts of rave reviews. Might be worth checking out.)
For some reason, the super-talented Adam also asked yours truly to submit a tip for his series. Fully aware as I am that only the wise can dispense wisdom, I donned my
Henry David Thoreau mask and shamelessly submitted a word of writerly advice anyway. So stop by
Adams Gaylord Writes and read why I encourage you to
Poke Your Head Up.
