Lynne,

Good morning.

Because you were so helpful with another blog I was hoping you might take a look at this blog and help me to inspire action rather than repel viewers.

RR

HELP. I am looking for input and advice from you all regarding my newest blog.

http://lovingacts.wordpress.com/

It is not my intent to deflect or reject viewers or supporters, but rather to draw attention and bring awareness to this issue.  

My Problem is that it is an ugly, disgusting issue, one which no-one wants to see or to hear about even though it is very real.  Unfortunately  it is not difficult  to come up with subjects or subject matter.  

It is however, a very tough subject emotionally for me, so therefore, I find it hard to write with any flare or objectiveness that might draw in followers, spark change and maybe even save just one life.

I have tried to present just the facts, cases, statistics, ect.  Now it needs some love and some life.

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

RR

Hi Lynne Thanks for the friendship :) I love being connected with other writers. 

 I hadn't seen the friend request as I'm signed in only occasionally.   

My main communication venue is currently fb, if you use it  here's my link.  https://www.facebook.com/kathleenomara 

Hey Lynne,

Great to connect here and in Blooming Late. Always find your posts useful and on point.

Best,

Michele

Thank you for the kind words on the blog, Lynne!

Hi Lynne, we have a lot in common! I'm pretty sure I have dysgraphia as well as dylexia. I almost quit writing a million and one times over it. I must say I couldn't tell in your profile bio though. Your writing looked solid. I'm so happy to meet you. You know what its like to obsess over a sentence for an hour! We'll have to chat some time.

My best,

Melanie

Yes. Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated. After I posted that, I read another writer's opinion that trying to do signing events was a waste of time. She referred to LA market where there are many unknowns doing events, but only celebrity writers had a response and a boost. You may have read that. I believe her focus was on social net marketing. Thanks again. Tim

Would you be ok with me editing/excerpting your story and posting it on cancer be glammed?

Thanks for your honesty! I am a journalist by trade so now I want to hear more...was there anything special that helped you through treatment? Music? A special soft blanket you loved crawling under when you got home? And again,this is only if you WANT to share. I'm hoping to generate some unique honest stories from women to share with other women. Please feel free to pass Cancer Be Glammed on to other women (and men) if you think it would help them!

Hi Lynne,

I am a fellow SheWrites member, and I do some professional writing. I was wondering if you journaled at all during your treatment and if it helped you. I thought maybe, if you did journal, you'd want to talk about the experience and the benefits and we could have you guest post on the site I write for, Cancer Be Glammed. You can find them online at http://www.cancerbeglammed.com and they are on Facebook and Twitter, too. It's a great site and business started by two amazing women. No need to reply if you're not interested, not trying to be pushy, just always looking for a chance to help other women get through a challenging time.

All the best,

Elizabeth

Lynne, you are a smart woman. I doubt I would have started a blog if not for the 'suggested guidelines' for first time novel writers.  It's a time suck for sure, but on the other hand, which I learned along the way, it's a wonderful place for the writer to try out new voices and play.  I try to limit my reading and commenting so I don't go bonkers.  It's a lot.  Love your blog name, perfect!

Oh, I think that would be very cool for them!! Get yourself a copy too! With e-books you save a ton of money. The regular pocketbooks are twice the price of mine. Here is the buy page:

https://museituppublishing.com/bookstore2/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=203&category_id=120&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

or you can get it on Amazon, Kindle, Nook, Barnes&Noble, Smashwords all on Friday!! Also I will be able to sign anyone's copy with kindlegraph.com.

That will also not be ready until Friday.

Hi Lynne: Nice to "meet" you! This a terrific site :)

Hi Lynne, welcome to the group NaNoWriMo - How fast can you write. Feel free to jump right in and introduce yourself.

Lanita Andrews

Hello Lynne!

Thank you for joining my group Blooming Late and being member number 100! Wish I had a prize to give you but sorry only this greeting.

I read your profile and no worries, I havn't gotten much to put into those boxes either. But we will soon enough. :)

Please introduce yourlsef to the group in our Kicking It Off discussion and then let us know your writing goals.We have a great group of gals here in varying levels of thier writing careers that are just wonderful sources of support, encouragment and inspiration for your own writing.

Congrats on getting a good prognosis, my husband has stage 4 lung so I can sort of relate, he has been beating it now  since Nov.09 when he only had weeks to live when he walked through the doors. Glad you are through the worst of it and all.

You might want to check out the Resources discussion as well for how to get started with you writers platform if you don't have a writers blog or anything yet. I wrote and article that might be helpful on that as well, it's listed in there.

Anything I can do to help, let me know and I'm very glad you are here.

WELCOME to the group!

Samantha Stacia
