Guest Post - Trust Your Voice

We're told to follow our heart, yet to use our head. That sounds like prudent advice and applicable in many situations. But too often rationality mums gut feelings and smothers our true self. Does your heart speak to you? Let its voice be heard.I'm telling myself the above as an 84,000-word manuscript beckons. This work in process, read more See More

Good for you Julija! Best of luck with promotion and sales of Epistolophilia. I understand you based your book on existing or should I say, surviving journals of your subject?

PS I refused to make different boxes for male and female creators, to me we all are creative people. Period. Gotta go.

Judith van Praag commented on the blog post 'Writing What You Know'

Abi, There was a time I refused to consider women artists, women writers, women film makers. In a way I still do. Hailing from the Netherlands I never considered the two "camps" the way they apparently are experiences elsewhere. Or perhaps…

Hi Abi, Thanks for connecting with me so quickly after I responded to your blog post. Funny, only now that I look at your profile I see we have more in common than caring for someone to find time to write. And you have so many more credentials than…

Judith van Praag commented on the blog post 'Writing What You Know'

Hi Abi, First off, I really like the title of your WIP The Lodger. Years (what am I thinking, decades) ago I left my familiar circumstances to be able to focus on writing. You're post triggers many memories. While I took the position of…

Dear Kamy, Excellent, still, it's a brave thing to do, leaving your baby in the hands of others, albeit most capable. I'm sure you have addressed this much like finding good caregivers for offspring. You'll be nervous, and peeking…

Loved to get a life sign from you, old pal! I have been off the keyboard in She Writes because dear fat Gertie has eaten me alive. You know. The scandal and all... So much to comment on. I will send you a research piece on the whole scandal and its false hysteria. Meanwhile, glad to know you are busy writing. Please come over and get a kick out of my Washington Post cartoon (latest blog)!

Love, R

I'm the luckiest mom in the world!! My son Joey put the video together and all three of my kids, Joey, Danny & Jacqui (who happen to be the characters in my book) voiced it. It's always a family affair around here. If you know of anyone who would be interested in entering my giveaway for a free copy of the book (US only), please pass along the following link to GoodReads. http://bit.ly/n2VRtG The book is for children 6-9 but some younger and older have enjoyed it as well.

Look forward to seeing you here everyday during SheWriMo and beyond!

I saw your websites links and you are so wonderfully creative it is enviable! I also appreciated the post about the comment you made to the person with Addisons, yes more of these so-called rare diseases need to be talked about. HOUSE actually convered my particular auto-immune disease Guillain-Barre which was wierd to see but I was grateful too.

I see you also have a book you've contributed to, please be sure to list both your sites and book in the pages section to the left of the maingroup page. Also considering the book, you may be interested in the guestblogger post in my own blog. Its from a lady in our group- http://samantha-stacia.blogspot.com just scroll down thru todays post to hers, Im not so good with urls.

Anyway please also if you havent already done so, introduce yourself to the group in our To Kick It Off discussion and let us know your writing goals and accomplishements.

We have a bunch of wonderful women like you who are a great source of support, encouragement and inspiration for writing.

I am glad you are here and WELCOME to my group!

I don't know what kind of action you are expecting from me: I only found the option of "Suggestion", not of commenting. So I did suggest! Let me know if that was it.

I am not really active on She Writes since the Summer of Stein and my blog quotinggertrudestein took all my energy. I hope you are well and have long since finished your memoir!!

A bientot,

R
