4/22 is Earth Day!

Family/Friends,

Have you heard of six-word essays or flash fiction? It's a unique genre of writing that focuses on sharing a meaningful story of idea in just six words.  The idea of very short stories and flash fiction began before the digital age, but has begun to thrive recently as people share their stories via social networks.

Here are a few six-word essays that folks posted online:

Many nations. One planet. Out Home - by Jessica

Healthier families, cleaner communities, stronger America - By Lisa

Breathe; A moment in nature. Breathe! - By Danny

Our only. Our one. Home planet. - By Jeanethe

Don't forget to do your part to make our planet a greener world.  Here's a link to things you can do every day: http://act.earthday.org/

Take are and until next time!

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
