Personally, I'm a business and marketing communications writer who is slowly moving into fiction.

Kendra Bonnett, She Writes Guest Editor and Co-Founder of Women's Memoirs
My business partner and co-author Matilda Butler and I have the great good fortune to work with many dedicated students in our writing classes. They not only have good basic writing skills but they take pleasure in writing. And that's a good thing because writing is work...
...unless it's something you love. We call it a labor of love, but it's not…

Kendra Bonnett, She Writes Guest Editor and Co-Founder of Women's Memoirs
Sorry I couldn't post a blog and video yesterday, but my own writing consumed my day. I'm making it up to you with this inspiring little video that my business partner and co-author Matilda Butler made to celebrate the writing genius of Brenda Ueland.
I love this video both for its sage advice and for the fact that Matilda brought me back to Ueland. I didn't know who Ueland was when Matilda first made…

Kendra Bonnett, She Writes Guest Editor and Co-Founder of Women's Memoirs
I look at my slightly yellowed, dog-eared, highlighted, underlined and Post-it note-laiden copy of The Writing Life, and I say, "Kendra, you certainly got your money's worth out of this book."
And I have. For it was after first reading Annie Dillard's little book--little in length only--that I finally understood the idea that writing is a…

Kendra Bonnett is a partner at Women's Memoirs. This is her final day as guest editor on She Writes.
Yesterday I wrote about sensory detail and the five senses. Today I want to leave you with a few thoughts about Place and it's importance in our writing.
"Geography is about maps, but biography is about chaps."
It's a line from one of English novelist…

K.E. Hoffman said… Great, thanks for following up. I'd hate for someone to stop reading just for that. Your posts are such an inspiration as they give clear ideas about elements of the writing craft we can actually use to stimulate our own thinking (and writing). Looking forward to reading more of you. Onward!

- Kendra thanks for adding me as a friend. Nice to meet you. I like the idea of this place for women writers. I'll look around then post again. I'm not sure what you know about me but a short intro is that I am a published author and have set up a publishing company that has just published it's second author. Stop by my page when I get it set up. I'd love to see you there.

Christy Herzog said… - Hi
Thanks for being my friend. I am a starving writer. Just discovered recently that writing is my passion. My only published material was for the local newspaper but I have high hopes. At present I am out of work and finding financial woes a big interruption in creative flow. I will survive.
Write on . . .
