A penny for your thoughts (#30)

-
I believe in the power of starting the the week off with a positive or provoking thought -- and so was created A Penny For Your Thoughts. This is a weekly discussion/blog hop that will feature quotes of all kinds; classics, character, book-movie, personal, etc. The themes will range from funny to serious, but really it all depends on how you interpret it! How does this work?
  1. Every Sunday a quote will be posted
  2. Enter the giveaway by posting your thoughts on a post of your own or in the comment section below. 
  3. Collect the pennies! Every week there will be a penny to collect and include with your post, if you choose.
  4. RAFFLE ENTRY: Submit your blog link or comment link  to this form so that your name can be uploaded to a raffle generator.
  5. On the last Sunday of every month the entries from the form above will be entered in a drawing.  You get as many entries as you have pennies for the month. Prizes will include books, gift cards, site promotion, and other bookish winnings!
  6. Have fun! This is a fun way to start some discussion, discover blogs, and get to know more people. Please re-post these steps so that followers understand the process.




My thoughts...

I absolutely love George Carlin. He's cynical, truthful, ballsy, and hilarious! A perfect combo in my opinion. I just got back from a work meeting. It was one of those where there's 2 hours of talking, yet nothing is said. Agendas get pushed off, everyone gets off topic, and the people who keep stirring the pot are the least informed about the situation. And instead of wasting my breath on the topic, all I want to do is insert something like this...

Collect the penny and share your thoughts! (worth 1 entry)

Today we're welcoming author Khaled Talib to The Book Cove. He's the author of three novels -- the most recent titled Gun Kiss  was published December 2017 and has received rave reviews. TBC: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from?  KT: I was born and raised in Singapore. I've been writing since I was a kid. Although I did attain some recognition, I never realized my full potential until much later. My little voice, once lost, kept pressing me on. To date, I've authored three novels. I am self-taught, never once having the opportunity to attend a workshop or a school to learn the craft. Along the route, I experienced agony and ecstasy. I ended up being a magazine writer before switching to the field of public relations. It also involved some form of writing though different from fiction. I find myself more interested in writing fiction as it allows my imagination to thrive in more ways than one. It's like baking a cake, you know; there are many...

I'm a little late on my FF post this week as I've been in and out of town and busy with work. Actually...I'm procrastinating on writing a paper right now with this post ;-) What is a Feature and Follow? (Courtesy of Parajunkee): The goal is to increase blog followers and make friends. First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools — keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them “hi” in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! What sets this Hop apart from others, is our Feature. Each week we will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is our Feature today? Find out below. Just remember it is required, if you participate...
