I'm not the superstitious kind. Black cats bother me none. I'll walk beneath a ladder (and in fact did just yesterday), it doesn't worry me. I don't give much weight to horoscopes, either, or any of the rest of that jazz.
But I do enjoy, once in a while, a good fortune from those mild and tasty cookies.
After lunch yesterday, I cracked one of the little things open to read this:
You create your own stage and your audience is waiting!
Every so often a fortune just fits.
Create.
My audience is waiting.
Really, this one suits. And I'm keeping it on hand, just as a reminder. For encouragement.

Come back later in the week - I'll have a video post to share.

Oooh! Love that one too, Janna!! It's perfect for a writer! :-)
You had me at create! ;)
And what an excellent reminder that we write for people, we write to begin a dialogue...

Great fortune!! I love cracking open my cookie and hoping for something very writerly and timely. ;) Although the juvenile part of me still read the fortune and thinks "underneath the sheets" (was it too early for that? lol)
Janna - So glad to "meet" you in the blogosphere! :) I'm a sucker for fortune cookies too, and I love yours! I think it'd go on the refrigerator next to my kids' drawings. :)
This made me smile because we have been getting the *worst* fortunes from our local take out restaurant. They're not bad futures, they're non-futures! Things like: "A hat is on the table."
???????

Thanks for stopping by--I look forward to following your blog.
Oooh, I like that, too! Just perfect for inspiration. You need a bulletin board for when those kinds of things come along. You can just stick it up there.
So fun! Look forward to your creations!
I love that... when we find our voice, the audience always seems to be waiting quietly for us to begin...x
Love it!
It reminds me of that 'Dear God' movie with George Burns.
I love that fortune...which really isn't a fortune at all, but an inspiring message!
Any words, whatever their source, that encourage us, are worth keeping around.
That's a really good one. I'll even think of the "audience" as self. We can create to please just the audience of one if necessary. More are welcome too, of course!
Oooh! Love this!
Sounds like something to be stuck on a cork board, or on the fridge with a magnet!
Hi Janna! Good post.
And good advice in that cookie.
Come visit me on my blog; I posted a question for writers.
The opening of the fortune is always a family event at my house:) Love yours!
That one was perfect for you. It is funny how sometimes they just seem so right!

Your audience is enjoying nibbles right now!!!
You go, girl.

Whoop!
My horoscope has been really really positive and full of good news - so maybe our destinys are abounding - laughing
:-D
Happy almost Thanksgiving wonderful woman!
Wow, that was cool! Yes, I would probably be keeping that one too!
If only writers could see who the audience's were in order to believe in the need for their work to be birthed. I am guilty of not being able to KNOW that there is an audience waiting. :(
Ooh yes, a very apt fortune. Did it spur you on? Thank you so much for your visit to my blog and your very kind comment. A
And now I can't wait for your video:)
I don't think that was a fortune--I think the Lord was speaking to you, dear sister. He'll use whatever He likes to hug our hearts. What a Guy!
