Hey Brenda,
Great post! It is really hard to imagine life without being plugged in, and it takes intention to truly remove myself from all the plugs that bind me. I love your Shakespearean tribute. I wrote a really similar post in April of 2010 about the FB/ Twitter/ online writing platform issues. I too wrote in Shakespearesque prose. I dug it up: http://meaganfrank.wordpress.com/2010/04/13/wilt-... It sounds like you would enjoy the new movie coming out "Anonymous" too. I am really looking forward to seeing it. MMF

I'm sure I will enjoy getting to know more about you and your writing. Our brains are similarly wired... MMF

Glad to have found you. You're on my twitter radar now too! You have a great writing voice, and I can sense you have a lot to write about!! Curious about the "lapsed liberal and Catholic." When you lapse as a liberal, does that make you conservative? I get the lapsed Catholic thing...cradle Catholic myself (in and out of lapsing) It's likely our paths will cross again! MMF

I love laughter! Our littlest regularly has us in stitches. Funny story from tonight, in fact. We heard her bell-laughing with her sister in the other room, and then she came in to apologize for peeing in her pants because she had been laughing so hard. I told her she was lucky...not many people can actually say they laughed so hard they peed their pants:)

Good ideas! I like to take a long walk when writer's block hits. There is something that really happens when the blood starts to flow. I also pick up someone else's writing. Reading stimulates the words for me, and I can usually springboard something, after reading good writing. Oh yeah, and the other thing I do is I have a number of writing outlets...when I don't feel like writing on my non-fiction book, I start writing in my fiction file. When nothing is flowing there, I write a senseless blog. If it is really bad, I will just write some emails, and if that doesn't work, I go to sleep and start again later.

Great post!

I started marketing during my research. I told people, "I am writing a book...will you answer these questions" That was seven years ago. The promotion has come in waves, and I anticipate plenty of work after the book is actually published. Your insight is valuable...you have a lot of great information! Thanks...

That sounds like it will be a great resource. I'll be looking for it!!
