I love it when I stumble upon something good. I want to share this treasure with all of you writers out there. http://www.wordhustler.com/publications/tag/family/ has numerous call outs for various types of writing. Have fun perusing this site.
Today, I challenge you to tell me about stumbling. Did you fall flat? Kick up a gem? Discover a truth? Sometimes our stumbles are stepping stones, eye openers, head clearers, ego adjustments.
Stumble over words? Stumble upon? Stumble down? Stumble into a person?
Give this topic some thought and then share with me, won't you?
Three decades ago, I stumbled into the wrong college class and sat in the empty classroom for ten minutes before I realized I was in the right room number, but the wrong tower building. Then, I had to slink into the real class, and wow! did I stumble upon a wonderful writing instructor and some talented writers.
It is interesting to see where our 'stumblings' take us! Thanks for the link. Look forward to checking it out.

Stumble? I stumbled into a deck chair leg first thing yesterday morning and now have a small black toe! It swelled and hurt so bad yesterday, the pain went up to my hip. But it is better today...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the site...True Romance writers are having a hard time collecting pay right now...just FYI. I thought CakeTrain was interesting. They pay nothing and yet they won't use anything previously published. I thought Trailer LIfe looked interesting...have you seen that publication yourself?
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
Hi Claudia,
ReplyDeleteI did that to my toe the night before the first day on a new job. I hobbled for two weeks at school. Hope your foot is b etter. Yes, I have seen Trailer Life, I think it is a big directory with a listing of interesting locales and articles about camping. Good luck.
Hey Linda, thanks for that link. I stumbled upon a writer this weekend who overheard me talking. We shared (like you did here) a few resources and she said, "I'm so glad I eavesdropped on your conversation!"
ReplyDeleteI love when I stumble upon new writing friends, whether it's virtually like you, or live and in person. Makes the writing road easier to travel, when you find good companions.
I believe that there are no mistakes. But "Stumbling" doesn't necessarily mean "mistake," does it? It can mean lacking grace, or a delay due to obstacles. That said, my whole life is a bit of a stumble!
ReplyDeleteCathy,
ReplyDeleteI too am glad that I stumbled upon your site!
Hi Syl!
ReplyDeleteyes, stumble can end up being a very good thing. And you have stumbled into a literary goldmine.
My favorite thing to stumble on is a good book! I love it when I step out of my usual pool of authors and find a new fave.
ReplyDeleteI need to stumble into bed.
ReplyDeleteI'm always stumbling into things...walls, low hanging tree branches, car doors. Hey! Maybe I could start writing a "Perils of Pat" series???
