Blogging Around

I was thinking about some great blog posts last night I could do, but then I thought wait a minute . . . I'm a guest blogger today on Karen Cioffi's blog today. So instead of sharing some of my thought here today, I'm going to link you over to my guest blog, Does Marketing Really Matter with VS Grenier at Writing for Children. In this guest blog you'll learn about my trials of marketing my picture book, Babysitting SugarPaw while being pregnant. There are lots of tips and inspiration. Okay, at least I think there is. LOL. I hope you enjoy it and please leave a comment. I'm going to be popping in throughout the day to answer any questions, too. And please be sure to stop by tomorrow for Article Wed. I have a great blog post to share with you. It's one you're not going to want to miss.

If you've ever struggled in coming up with creative ideas, welcome to the club. For most writers, discovering new writing projects involves conscious pursuit of their thought trails. But where do start on our quest for inspiration? Here are a few places you can find new ideas for writing: 1. The world around you. Just like a photographer, you must start looking at life through your own personal lens. You will get a tremendous amount of writing material if you start filtering your own experiences.

The world is full of surprises that can materialize in your next book or article. 2. Writers’ associations and networks.
