Now that I’ve had a chance to recover from my write-a-thon, I’m ready to share the results and what I learned from the experience. I am so pleased to report that I received $217 in donations to the American Heart Association. Thank you so much for generosity and support, both moral and financial. With my [...]

Welcome to the second post in my new Gratitude Sunday series. I found that I really enjoyed mulling over what I wanted to include in this list as the week progressed. Before the list, though, a story. I went to the library one morning this week and stopped at the little coffee shop to get [...]

Check it out – I completed my thirty hours for the write-a-thon! Never mind that ten hours of writing nonstop in one day is not the best way to go. Never mind that I’ve probably increased my chances by at least 25% of getting whatever cancer is caused by sitting in front of a computer [...]

Today is the day. By midnight tonight (Colorado time), I will have completed my write-a-thon. Typical me, I’m pushing it right down to the wire with a full ten hours left to write. Yes, one-third of the total of goal of thirty hours remains. Those of you who have been reading the blog for a [...]

… came in two forms yesterday. First, I sailed past the halfway mark on my write-a-thon and met a deadline in the process. After writing for three hours en route home, I am now up to 17 hours written and $152 raised for the American Heart Association. I also polished one of my manuscripts enough [...]

I wrote for six hours today, so I am now officially one-third finished line with my write-a-thon goal. Too bad I should be at the halfway point by now. I’ll have to buckle down again for the next couple of days to get caught up and hopefully even ahead of the game. I’m a bit [...]

Anyone worth his or her salt in PR will tell you not to announce something on a Friday unless you want it to fly under the radar. Friday announcements tend to go unnoticed, buffered as they are by weekend days, making it difficult to generate “buzz.” So I’m going against the grain here by announcing [...]
