If your writing life had a tagline, what would it be?

Great exercise in thought for a writer to help determine who s/he is.
I recently asked a group of writers to write an essay (blog post) on “How to Write Like I Do.” I thought doing so might help them investigate and define their own process while giving other writers ideas as well.
I’d love to see that from the various TKZ writers.
Intriguing exercise, Harvey! Perhaps we’ll tackle that in a future post. 🙂
The tagline for my website debbieburkewriter.com is:
“Novels of Crime, Mystery, Intrigue…because anyone is capable of anything.”
Under extreme circumstances, I believe most people can be pushed to great good and/or great evil. I’m always pushing my characters to those extremes.
“There but for the grace of God go I”
I agree, Debbie. Love your tagline!
The making of a horror novelist.
Love it, Priscilla!
The right words are better than 1,000 pictures…
Ooh, love that, Dave!
I hope it is in the name of my business: “Optimist Writer.”
Nice one, Victoria!
One brain. One mouth. No filter.
Hahahahaha. I could adopt the same tagline, Jordan. 🙂
Yes indeedy.
Ha! Wouldn’t have you any other way!
*snort*
John Grisham brought the suspense and intrigue of the legal world to the mainstream—Tom Combs has done the same with the world of medicine.
Ooh, intriguing, Tom. Love it!
The Suspense Never Rests.™
Perfect, Jim!
Redeemed and Summoned
Love that, Claire! You all are so creative.
If I were more hopeful, it would be, “Crime must pay.”
The tagline for Mystery Writers of America is:
“Crime doesn’t pay…enough.”
Hahahaha. If only … 😉
Sonas nisi a Deo.
Unconquered except by God.
In my writing world, the zombies and skinwalkers and dogmen and the bad guys never win.
Nice one, Jim!
Failure cannot be inflicted on anyone; it must be declared by the individual. Until you quit, you’re still in the fight.
No truer words, John. 🙂
Mine is “Stories with Heart, Hope, and Humor”
Love that, Peggy!
Author and Humorist–Taking Silly Seriously Since 1974.
Perfect tagline, Dean!
I am a cookbook writer. Mine is (and is on the front page of my site):
“The Road to Deliciousness Starts Here”
Yum. I’m in!
The tagline on my website says Where love and faith cross paths with murder.
Ooh, intriguing, Patricia. Love it!
“Adventures in the Past, Present, and Future.”
All my published books are spread across genres and subgenres: paranormal romance, reincarnation romance, science fiction romance, science fiction adventure, and contemporary and historical romantic suspense. I wanted a tagline for my website that expressed what tied all these books together, and I figured out that it was “adventure.” (Nothing makes me happier than shoving a heroine off a literal or figurative cliff and figuring out how she survives.)
I named my writing/teaching blog “Adventures in Writing” to continue the theme.
That sounds like a great way to link your books together, Marilynn. Excellent job!
Dying to Kill for a Living
The tagline on my website describes my writing life perfectly!
Hahahaha. Love it, Lee!
Same one that describes my life:
Never dull.
Hahahaha. Right, Laura? #WritersLife 🙂
“Almost True – In Fact, Quite Believable Crime Writing” 🙂
Nice one, Garry! 🙂
I stole mine from a wise woman: “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” ― Maya Angelou
I use it on my inspirational blog, my author website, and social media.
Maya Angelou was an amazing woman. Perfect choice, Cecilia!
