February 2008 •Book-in-a-week was listed for a third year in Writer's Digest! December 2007 •I can't believe it but I'm celebrating my fourth year with BellaOnline. Specifically with the Large and Lovely site. Wow. Other than marriage that has to be my longest committment. I'm growing! October 2007 •Biw has been really busy since the second mention in Writer's Digest. The website is growing, offering more features like a forum, blog and writing prompts. •I've start a bunch of plus size blogs and have also gotten a bad case of Squidoo lens addiction. It's time painful and time consuming but fun. April 2007 •BIW was listed in Writer's Digest 2007 list of best websites for a second year! September 2006
•WordMuseum is now under new owners with their own team of writers so the July issue of Word beats was my last issue. It's been over two years and sort of a bitter-sweet end. •The Large & Lovely site at BellaOnline has been rocking with activity. I'm very proud of it's growth. I have over 900 subscribers to my newsletter. April 2006 •I've had two confirmations that my BIW site was listed in the May issue of Writer's Digest. I'm very excited about this. The group has a great collective of inspirational writers so this is a tribute to them. The new mags aren't out up here until Tuesday so I'll be running out to get a few copies. January 2006 •I received an honourable mention from Brady Magazine's Open Theme Poetry contest. December 2005 •Hard to believe another year is almost over. WordMuseum will be under new management in January. Lori Soard is picking up the reigns. She is actually the original founder. I've worked with her before on the Artist Way years ago (times two) so it'll be nice to be in contact with her again. I'm looking forward to 2006 and the possibilities it brings around around. Have a Merry Christmas! October 2005 •The traffic for the Literary Fiction and Large & Lovely sites is growing weekly. I'm so proud. I'm feeling the need to make some changes so I think I'm going to slate January for making those. I started working on my book again a few weeks ago. Weekends only. It seems to be working. August 2005 •I'm busy, busy, busy. I'm enjoying working on the Literary Fiction site. It's been interesting. Large and Lovely is crazy busy and requires daily attention. Jeff and I took a three week drive to the East Coast provinces along with Shelby and Suzie. They travel well but still... Good trip but good to be home. I sold a bunch of interviews to Absolute Write. I'll have to add the links to those later. Still plugging away at BIW and WordBeats. Something's going to have to change in the new year though. I want to spend time writing my book but it just isn't happening between work and house chores. If someone knows a method let me know. June 2005 •I'm editing two sites at BellaOnline now. Literary Fiction is new as a week ago. I don't know what I was thinking. It's been a lot of work cleaning it up. I should have know better. It's been a year and half since I cleaned up the Large & Lovely site so I guess I forgot. The Large & Lovely site is growing nicely. I have 500+ subscribers to my newsletter so I'm excited. The traffic is almost to 30,000 a month. So close. Maybe this month! May 2005 •I'm such a terrible updater. Numerous things have happened over the last year but most recently I sold 5 interviews to Absolute Write, one of my favourite sites for writing info. Here's the links as they become active: Susan McBride, Julie Kenner, Wendy French, Gena Showalter and Pauline Jones. •I've started a blog. I know, coming from someone who says she's a terrible updater. I'm a silly girl and I like to write about silly things. So I created BigGirlBlue which is absolutely about nothing.
July 2004 •Wow, a few months disappeared. I've been doing stuff but they got away from me. Will have to fill that in soon. But the latest is that I've been bumped up to "Senior Reviewer" at Linear Reflections. April 2004 •Promotion: Business or Hobby? appeared in the April 28 issue of the NAWW weekly newsletter as Feature article of the week. It can be read on their homepage. •My article "Keep it Simple: What to Avoid on Your Website" just appeared in the Spring Issue of The NAWW Writer's Guide. March 2004 •Some exciting news. I've been asked to write a SERIES of historical articles for What's Happening Magazine. Very excited about this opportunity. •My haiku won second place in Sol Magazine's Gravestones in Winter contest in February. And Eleanora Blossoms into Billie Holliday was commented on. •Check out this website and please hire the girl, she draws.
•New website is up. Still have to finish the gallery and check out the links. If you notice something isn't working please let me know. Thanks for visiting.
January/February 2004 •Many computer woes over the last few months between viruses and servor issues. Website still isn't up to par yet. Soon I hope. What do you think of the new layout? It is my attempt at using Dreamweaver. December
