Well...I did it.



I said The Writer's Resource would go LIVE on 8/1/2011. Well...it's LIVE!



Granted....it's still under construction, but it's ready for writers to navigate.



I originally planned to do a static page on my blog, but there was just too much good information for one little ole' page, so I made an entire site - devoted to housing the best posts and articles on writing found on the… Continue

Blogging Tip: What The Heck Is RSS and How Do I Use It?

Posted on July 14, 2011 at 1:30pm 0 Comments

We've all seen the little orange box.



It comes in many designer forms, but it's still the same thing:RSS Feed.



When I began blogging, the term Technologically Challenged was insufficient for my understanding of computers. Technologically Inept would have been a better term.



I had… Continue

Thanks for the warm welcome Charissa - looking forward to visiting your blog and keeping up with your doings!!  I'm finishing up on my first book proposal - a lifestyle guide for entrepreneurial women - and self-publishing a series of mini how-to guides for women entrepreneurs too. Wish I could write all day long but right now have to BE the entrepreneur, juggling lots of balls with growing WomenCentric.net,  doing website project management & copywriting for CeciliaCove, a cool new online jewelry boutique due to launch in a few weeks, and producing news and advice videos for FlipReport and ExpertsnAuthors, my 2 main YouTube Channels. Other dream book projects include writing a paranormal series for pre-teens/young adults, a parenting book (I have three darlins'), and an early reader/ toddler series! Hope we can connect and chat soon ;-) Till then you can keep up on my doings @PattieSimone and @ExpertsnAuthors

Charrisa, I was wondering if you'd like to do a guest post on Ravencraft's Romance Realm blog. We would love to share your Alpha/Beta post and we'd highlight your latest release (or any releases you'd like.

Please email me at: kaydeeroyal at msn dot com

Hello Charrisa - so nice to virtually meet you. Thank you for the friend connection.

I see that you've done a posting on Alpha/Beta males...although I haven't seen your post or know the addy of your blog. I'm wondering if you'd be interested in making that post on another Romance blog?

Charissa, Welcome to the Southern Writers Group. We're glad to have you join us. I enjoyed your blog on Alpha and Beta males and I'm sure you'll have much to add to the group. Be sure and introduce yourself. Role Call is a good place to start. Best, Nicky

Hello, I'm Renee Johnson and can be found on Facebook by that name.  On twitter I am @writingfeemail and my blog site is http://writingfeemail.wordpress.com.  Although I have written a couple of novels, they are in the cabinet.  With my son out of college, I headed to France this past October to study with Janet Hulstrand in her workshop that is held in Essoyes.  Since then, I have published a short story, a travel article, and received an honorable mention for a Studying Abroad contest.  That was all non-fiction. 

Now I must work on the discipline to polish up the novels and get them out of the cabinet!  I don't want to lose the enthusiasm and steam that Janet brought out in me. 

Thanks for letting me join all of you talented writers!

Charissa,

Thanks for reaching out. Can't wait to check out your blog. Thanks!
