About this item
Pursuing a dream is hard work, but the right words delivered at the right time -- by people who've been there and done that -- can give us just the motivation we need. The right words can rekindle our enthusiasm, re-energize our efforts, dispel doubt, let us know we're not alone, and show us that the fight is worth it -- and winnable. Kathryn and Ross Petras are masters at choosing and delivering just the right words. Their books -- such as "Age Doesn't Matter Unless You're a Cheese" and "Dance First. Think Later." -- and bestselling calendar, The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said, have over 5.2 million copies in print. Now comes a book for dreamers and doers, plus writers, entrepreneurs, graduates, artists, future movers and shakers.
About the Author
I'm half of a sister-and-brother bestselling writing and editing team, with over 5.2 million copies of our work in print. We're the authors of many word-oriented books like New York Times bestseller You're Saying It Wrong, That Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means, and our newest, Awkword Moments, and we do a podcast cleverly (!) titled "You're Saying It Wrong" -- a kind of Car Talk about words -- with NPR affiliate KMUW (https://www.npr.org/podcasts/642595029/you-re-saying-it-wrong) We've also compiled a series of bestselling quote books like Age Doesn't Matter Unless You're a Cheese and It Always Seems Impossible Until It's Done, as well as the page-a-day calendar The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said (now in its 25th year) and its counterpart The 365 Smartest Things Ever Said.On the non-work side of things, I am a noir film and novel fiend, a bad joke aficionado and committer of truly deplorable puns, a collector and seller of pulp art prints, and am proud to say I was on Jeopardy (but, sadly, came in third - and only won a designer watch and a Steam-Vac.) . You can find me on Twitter @kathrynpetras, Facebook at FB/kathy.petras or, for a collection of found humor, FB/unusually.stupid. Our website is www.kandrpetras.com.
