Congratulations again to Alex!
And now for my F post: F is for Fail
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. FAIL again. FAIL better. ~ Samuel Beckett
I like that this quote gives a new perspective on failing, something I have plenty of experience with. :D
I'm also at Untethered Realms today with F is for Flames. Visit me there for a teaser from Polar Day.
And don't worry, I didn't forget about Mini-Alex and the scavenger hunt. I was saving the best for last.
Thanks for coming by, Mini-Alex!
Fail better and more efficiently!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Julie.
I've got a note of that Beckett quote - it really does make me feel better about failing. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yeh for Alex!
Great Post... Mini Alex is on computer chair!

There's no earthly way of knowing.
Which direction we are going!
HOLLYWOOD NUTS!
Come Visit: You know you want to know if me or Hollywood... is Nuts?
Congratulations, Alex!!!!
ReplyDelete"Fail better." I love that!
I fail brilliantly, I'll have you know ;-)

Wow Julie. That book cover is fantastic! And that was a wonderful quote by Beckett.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Mini-Alex is hanging out in a chair of some sort. I'm going to go with computer chair, with car being my second guess.
Yay for Dragon of the Stars release day!!!!
My first thought was the center of a car's steering wheel for mini-Alex, but that's probably wrong.
ReplyDeleteIt's not how many time you fail, but how many times you get up! I'm a spectacular failure, Julie! LOL! Mini-Alex: carseat for a kid or a bucket seat in a car?
ReplyDeleteMini Alex is obvious getting ready to be buckled into a space ship seat. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a big day for Alex! How can we grow if we don't fail on occasion
ReplyDeleteFail better. You can't beat that.
ReplyDeleteMini-Alex looks like he's a gaming chair or a very odd bowl.
I'm thinking Mini Alex is either in a leather office chair or about to play a video game
ReplyDeleteHe's in some kind of seat.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard that quote before, but I really like it!
ReplyDeleteAnd Mini-Alex is definitely taking a drive . . . which is dangerous while reading.
Love that quote! I think Mini-Alex is on a computer chair?? Maybe?
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! I've never heard that quote, but I like it. It'll remind me never to give up. :) I'll make sure to check more of your A-Z posts this month. It's my first year so I'm a little slow.
ReplyDeleteAs for Mini-Alex, I can't really tell. I'll go for either a computer chair or child car seat?
Have a great day. Eva
"Fail better" is such a wonderful quote that we can all learn from! I'll have to share that one with my kids. Mini-Alex looks like he's driving over to a book signing for Dragon of the Stars! Yay for Alex!
ReplyDeleteJulie
Oops...on second thought the background looks like he's on an office chair instead. I'd make a terrible detective.
ReplyDeleteJulie
Congrats to Alex. He's all over today. Dragon's will be a best seller by the end of the day!!
ReplyDeleteAlex sure did get around today and some of these have been difficult. I am going with a gaming chair of some sorts.
ReplyDeleteOne of my absolute favorite quotes, though I often misquote it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like mini-Alex is in a car seat, or a bicycle seat?
mini Alex is sitting at the computer, looking up big Alex's books online.
ReplyDeleteSamual Beckett was quite clearly a cool dude! I like him!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie - Alex is definitely still going around .. I haven't visited everyone yet .. Mini-Alex is on a chair of sorts I think!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely have to fail to be able to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves and start all over again - having re-evaluated what's going on ... cheers Hilary
Mini Alex must be getting some writing done!
ReplyDeleteLovely quote Julie! Behind every success are a number of failures :)
Brandy from Brandy's Bustlings
Love that quote! I'm pretty good at failing, and I hope I'm getting better at it :)
ReplyDeleteMini Alex seems to have moved up to the VIP room at that bar at the edge of the galaxy he's been hanging out in.
Great quote! Even if we fail, at least we're trying.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Mini-Alex is either in a child's car seat or an office chair of some kind. Whatever it is, it looks comfortable.
Mini-Alex is keeping the captain's chair warm for Mini-Kirk who is away on a distant planet in Cassa Star.
ReplyDeleteI think mini-Alex is going for a drive.
ReplyDeleteI tend to fail at things regularly, especially when I try something for the first time. Have a great week.
Mini Alex looks like he's taking another ride on this Hunt! Failure brings you that much closer to success, right?! LOL Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
