My blogs are helping me go forward as long as I don't talk too much. I am meeting new writers and saying hello to writers I have known for years. I continue to learn how important a blog is for promoting my work and other connections. I had the honor of having Sarah Lange, Associate Editor of The Writer magazine comment on my blog. http://www.writermag.com/.

I continue to find Once Upon a Time magazine, helpful for writers who write for the children's markets. http://www.onceuponatimemag.com/

Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell author and freelance writer will be on KATV, Saturday Day Break Show July 12. A Little Rock TV station, talking about Going Green in the Ozarks/her blog.

Check out Max McCoy blog Blackstory at http://www.maxmccoy.com/blog. There is a picture of him and his beautiful daughter. Blogs are important and not a waste of time.

I claimed yesterday and today as my time to work in my studio office - to shut out what is expected of a wife. I have gotten a lot done. I have two children's picture book manuscripts ready to go in the mail, almost finished two articles and submitted some poems.

Thanks to the Twin Lakes Writers for putting the Bel Arco Writers Workshop information in their newsletter and on President Nancy Thatcher-Cerny's web page.
