Email Me Please add "Cozy Cabin" to the subject line in emails. | | Updated 08/01/2008 02:18:14 PM Writer's resources, links and markets for writers of all ages and genres. Charming cozy cabin theme. Kid safe site.  Hi, I'm Lynn Carney. Welcome to my Cozy Cabin website. Remember the peace and harmony you enjoyed in your favorite cabin hideaway? The French have a name for the refuge most writers seek. Bon Secour. Safe harbor. A place to escape from pressures and deadlines and the occasional writer's block. Maybe your safe harbor is a rustic mountain lodge beneath a starry sky. Maybe it's a quaint cottage on the seashore, or a cozy hut nestled on the bank of a clear, cool lake. Or, perhaps like Thoreau, you've found refuge in a cozy cabin in the woods.
Until you reach your safe harbor, I hope you'll rest here on my website. I've stocked the cozy cabin cupboards with comfort foods. The boudoir holds homemade potions and creams and other wonderful things to pamper your body. I've even included some beautiful words and inspiration to feed your writer's soul. There are places for you to visit and new author friends to meet along the way, so find a comfy seat and kick off your shoes.
Bon Secour, writers. Safe Harbor.
"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
~Ayn Rand, Russian-born American Author "Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.
It's the one and only thing you have to offer."

| "The human language is like a cracked kettle on which we beat out a tune for a dancing bear, when we hope with our music to move the stars." ~Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary |
Inspiration "I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." ~ Jack London, American Author "Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ~Harold Whitman "It has been said that growing up in the South and becoming a writer is like spending your life riding in a wagon, seated in a chair that is always facing backwards." ~Olive Ann Burns, Georgia author of Cold Sassy Tree
