"Penny, I may have missed your point. Are you saying that the Romneys should not be in the race because of advanced age and serious illness? If so, there may be argument for a new health standard regarding running for political office. However, what…"

Why doesn't anyone care about Mrs. Romney's health?
As a member of She Writes and the subgroups Blooming Late Writers and Disabled But Not Done, I'm concerned about the Romneys' ages and Mrs. Romney's health. She has MS, which is a serious incurable disease. She's already had health problems because of the campaign stress. What? You didn't know. I'm not surprised. The subject has studiously been avoided; however, if Ann Romney develops more problems, what impact will that have on Romney, if he becomes president?It would be a sad testament to a…See More

Solving Technical Dilemmas
I completely understand how hard the tech side of writing, publishing, and blogging can be. Unfortunately, it's a necessary evil in today's market. On the other hand, it can also be of little help, if not used correctly. Just today, I ran into an example of something I explained the other day to friends about a whole domain getting banned. If that domain is Blogspot, Blogger, or WordPress, everyone goes down. Just one person that violates the rules hurts everyone. Please understand, I'm not…See More

We all love working in our area of talent and getting paid well for it. However, the current economy often calls for finding ways to fill the gaps. I’ve had quite a few of those during the economic downturn, and I found some creative ways to add a few dollars more to my wallet. I won’t get a two-week vacation, or even an expensive dinner out of these venues, but I earn…

Hello Penny!
I want to personally Thank You for joining my group Blooming Late!
I read your blog from the link you had in your profile and you are a very personable writer. The site is warm and inviting as well!
There are many wonderful women in our group from all genres and levels of writing who are a real source of support,enouragement and inspiration for writing. I hope that you will be able to make your writing home with us!
We have many things going on in here and future plans for the group,take a look around our discussions and familiarise yourself with whats going on and participate where it will do you the most good. You dont have to follow any of the discussions unless you find one or two that will help encourage or inspire you. What I do ask of you though is if you would set your settings to recieve our emails so that when something is going on in the group you will be informed with everyone else.
We also have the pages section which can be found directly on the left of the group page. There you can add your great blog, any books you have published, add your birthday, what you write etc according to each page. But please be sure to add your Facebook/Twitter handle in the page for it right away so that our members can connect with you.
We are starting a wonderful project that is going to expand the promotional ability of this group exponentially and so as time allows we would really like you to "friend" every member in here as well as connect with all of them on FB and Twitter so we can all be connected with each other. Thank You!
I am glad you are here and WELCOME to the group!
