Over at Fuel, all the editors of all our sites have been putting together a ‘Best of’ list. They’re all really great and interesting and don’t hit on all the obvious stuff you are (or will be soon) seeing everywhere else.

Check out Fuel Your Writing’s list HERE!!

To see what the creative, blogging, photography (and on and on) industries have declared as the best of the year, check out the MAIN SITE — it’ll definitely be worth your time!!

Hope y’all are doing well and that your holidays are wonderful!!!

So, yeah, I still haven’t been around. But, I’m back to writing Avalon and am hoping to be Truly finished soon.

For those of you who still happen to stop by even though I’ve been incredibly boring of late ;) , I’d like to offer some of my Google Wave invites. I have two accounts, and I know most people already have an invite (and account) by now, but the amount of invites I have is just ridiculous, so I’d like to offer TEN to the first people who either:
1) follow @fuelyourwriting on twitter — and then leave a comment here letting me know you did so
or
2) go on to fuelyourwriting.com and choose one of the fabulous articles that looks the most interesting to you and leave a comment for the equally fabulous author (but of course, since s/he wrote said article!) speaking your writerly mind =) (is that a word? idk and i don’t care;)) and then let me know…

I’ll contact the first ten people who have done this through the email address you leave with your comment (which is why I asked for a second comment here after commenting at FYW) and I’ll then send you your invite.
Easy peasy =)

I’ve been kinda busy… November 13, 2009

So I moved. Again. Yup.
I’m back up with my family and struggling in some ways, but my writing has never been better. I’m inspired. I’m in love with my characters. I even adore my crazy articles about bamboo and iDogs. Yup.
I’m also thrilled because I have a new job!!!!
I am now Co-Editor for Fuel Your Writing!! So thrilled about this new adventure and am throwing myself straight into it.
The best part is that I get to do a lot of what I already did . . . Live on Facebook and Twitter!! How cool is that?!??

Anyway, I’m off to write some stuff — need to edit my article for Monday (seriously…i can edit my own stuff now!! …well I already did because I’m just like that, but now I can *officially* do it =))

Hope everyone’s good. Sorry I’ve been such a horrible blogger lately. I hope to change that soon (yeah, I know I keep saying that…). But seriously, the more I have to do, the more I tend to get done. It’s all about time management and ambition and confidence. So we’ll see ;)

news and a great post! October 6, 2009

First, I’m sooo happy to say that I am now a professional writer. I’m freelancing and my first article was approved to be published just today and I’ve already submitted another.

But, I also finished writing an article for Fuel Your Writing about twenty minutes ago and just have to once-over it before I submit. Friday is my day to post for If You Give a Girl a Pen and I’m already working on that. I have NO intention of quitting the writing I do for free just because I’m getting paid now.
And this article posted on Fuel tells you exactly why.

Not getting paid is the best way to end up with money.
I always wanted it to happen, but never thought it would. Always thought it was just a dream…. Well, I was wrong and I’m living proof that putting forth lots (and lots) of effort will get you where you want to go–or at least get you started on the path!

So go read Giselle’s article and donate your time and your knowledge. You’ll be happy you did!!!
