Thank you!

Family/Friends:

Establishing new habits this week, this blog in particular >>> need to blog more often :-D  So, here I am sitting in front of my computer rattling my brain to come up with something witty, intellectual to say, but the more I think about it, the more it occurs to me that what I write doesn't always have to be funny, and remarkable, it just to be from the heart, so here it goes:

Thank you to:
My husband who's very supportive of my writing, wherever it may take me.
My daughter who's my friend and cheerleader oh and tech support of course.
My sister Alice who sent me a congratulatory text and supports my writing.
My sister Cheryl whose keen interest in my writing early on encouraged me to keep putting my thoughts on paper.
My sister Lucy, who has read one of my steamiest stories and provided good feedback - Lucy and I share the same passion for writing so her input is invaluable.
Charisse who's a dear friend and a cheerleader.
Amy who's offered to edit the story that'll be submitting to Secret Cravings Publishing.
Sharon who's my sounding board for my new endeavor as a Social Media Coordinator for PWC

Without the help of those mentioned above it would be extremely difficult for me to remain as positive and committed to my writing as I am today, so thank you, thank you, thank you!

Until next time folks...be well!

  1. Good update, Maria. I think that's what blogs are supposed to be. Just whatever you have in your head, of course nothing too personal that you don't want the world to know.

  2. Hi Linus - you're gonna laugh, but this is the first time I noticed that anyone has left a comment on my blog...I kept thinking I was talking to an empty room :-)

    Sorry that I hadn't replied earlier, but now you know WHY! I feel like a dork.

    Take care and thanks for keeping up with me.

Reading is FUNdamental!

As writers we hear this all the time, “If you want to be a better writer, you need to be a better reader.” And this is very true. But also true is that in reading we need to do so effectively. Yes, effectively. See, reading well can help make a huge difference in the quality of work you produce. Here are three tips to ensure you’re getting the most out of your reading experience, 1) Be sure to read books you enjoy. Unless you enjoy the classics (e.g. Austen, Dickens, Hemingway, etc.) reading mandatory novels some of which you may particularly enjoy might be counterintuitive. Reading should be a pleasure so read books that you like this way you’re sure to read more. 2) Read the type of material you aspire to produce. Find an author or two or three that you admire and read as much of their work as possible; devour their work actually.  3) Keep a good log of the books you’ve read. Voracious readers alike can tell you that they may not remember the books ...

Calgon...take me away!

Family/Friends, I understand now why some companies/celebreties hire people to tend to their Social Media networking, it is very time consuming, not to mention mentally exhausting. Point in case, just today I spent over an hour on Blogger and YouTube working out some kinks with my profile/settings. My head's spinning and I'm pooped. On the topic of Social Media, I'd like to take a moment to thank my daughter, Pamela for acting as a consultant on the topic. Pamela works in the field and has actually helped launch my first AdWords campaign. Although it is progressing slowly, I have seen an increase in site ( www.mywritingden.net ) traffic and Twitter - 10 new followers in a week. I've also been receiving sporadic emails from 'fans' telling me how much they enjoy my stories...so this keeps me going. Ohhh, and a VERY notable mention to Linus Ly who gave me the idea to use a 'new' slogan Erotica, She Wrote . Liked it so much I'm already using it. T...

Family/Friends, I'm six and a half days way from going into a NaNoWriMo 'leave of absence'. Yep, this means the Flash Fiction Friday section of my website will be on hold until 12/7.  Also, I don't expect to be online much (Twitter or Facebook), but will check email periodically. On a side note, I want to say thanks to those of you who have recently signed up to this blog, I appreciate you.  Oh, and thank you also to those folks who have visited this site from Russia,  Sweden, and Malaysia. I think that's pretty awe-SOME! Well, that's all for now. Until next time! Maria
