National Blog Posting Month

Hello! What do you write?

I'm happy to have you here. Please share what types of things you like to write and introduce yourself a bit.

I write articles for various places around the web on a wide range of subjects from parenting to urban sprawl to homemade skin and hair care. I also blog about grammar and syntax as well as writing in general. Then there's my too-neglected novel.

Between writing, reading everything I can get my hands on, and taking care of my family I lead a full life. Coffee is my friend. :) What keeps you going?

I have written one non fiction book for teens that is in the editing process. Currently I am working on my first fiction towards that same audience. I am too an unpublished author with a dream!

What keeps me going? Coffee and Nap time! With home schooling three children the time is limited!; ▶ Reply to This

But my husband got laid off in March and now he's caring for the kids while I get a corporate writing business off the ground. It happens to give me more time for the writing I love, too. Now if I can just pay the bills, it'll all be good!!; ▶ Reply to This

I also volunteer as a librarian, mommy a two-year-old, housewife, and do some freelance Web design. I love to read, but have been very bad at making time for it, so this year a friend and I decided to read 50 books in a year. I'm on 47 right now, and it's been awesome.

I write at cafes and at home--I'm blessed enough to have an office of my own.

I love writing, enjoy blogging and photography. Currently, I'm back in school to finish up a degree in professional writing. I'm not sure this field will take me anywhere but I at least want to have a degree to fall back on. If nothing else presents itself, I'll continue on and finish a Master's Degree in Education. Perhaps a high school English teacher position is in my future?! ; ); ▶ Reply to This

I write romance novels, sweet and erotic. My books are published at http://www.total-e-bound.com and http://www.ellorascave.com I have submissions into Harlequin and The Wild Rose Press as well.

My blog is about writing, reading, book promotion, and also about my daily life, my family, and my day job as a customer service manager for a charity - all things that affect a writer's life.; ▶ Reply to This

I spend my limited free time (time not taken up by the 3 "real" (read: paying) jobs I have) working on that and blogging at my writing blog, my cooking blog, and my frugal living blog. I'm getting ready to start an experiment over at Pots & Plots (my cooking blog) where I write a serial--just a very informal, first person, the reader sitting down while my heroine is cooking kind of deal. She's the heroine I have envisioned for a potential future cozy series and I thought it might be a fun way to combine two of my great loves.; ▶ Reply to This
