Hi Maria,
I would love to collaborate with you on the essay collection. I am super busy right now with my consulting business and finishing up my novel but let's chat sometime in March and brainstorm some ideas!

Allison, I like the idea of collaborating. I have been thinking for a long time that some book should be written with young widows' stories. When I was first widowed, I wanted this type of book very much and there weren't any that I could…
Hi Marian,
Thanks for taking a look at the blog! I'd love to collaborate with you on a collection of essays. I agree - there's not a lot out there for young widows.
Allison, I took a look at widow in a speedo. The title intrigued me since I was widowed too young, as well. Your blog is very good! I've been thinking of compiling essays by young widows, and you've inspired me to get working on this.…
Lorraine, I totally agree with you on the Modern Love column. There have been essays that I know I could could have written. Like you, I didn't think anyone would want to read them. I kept saying to myself, "I could have written…
Hello. I've just joined She Writes. For a long time I fought my life. I was widowed too young and wanted my "happily ever after," which I knew I was not going to get. In the ten years since my husband's death, I have had a few…
Hi Marian. Welcome to the DC SheWrites group. We aren't very active as a group, but I keep hoping someone will take the reins and make something happen to advance all our interests in writing and community. If you have any thoughts on this,…

Hi, Marian- Please forgive me for taking so long to get back to you about your possibly contributing to the "Travel" section of BoomUnderground.com. Please take a look at the site, let me know if you might consider contributing, (no dough available yet for payment, I'm afraid), and if you're game, send me any ideas that you might have. Please keep in mind that stories must have some link even if it's just the title or a sentence, to the Baby Boom era. Thanks again, hope to hear from you soon, and take care!- Julie

Hi, Eugenia. It's always so hard to get people together since everyone is so busy, and the metro DC area is so big. I would love to meet on a monthly basis for coffee and discussion. Just a thought...

Welcome to She Writes. Hope you’ll enjoy the conversation here. Do join us in the novelist group if you write longer fiction, or think you might like to. And enjoy!
Thanks, Laura. What's your Twitter handle and I'll add you to my follow list? I tried to post your post to Twitter but the She Writes site is pretty wonky and it wouldn't obey! It's a good post so maybe you can tweet it so it…
