Becoming a better writer in 2012

January 22nd, 2012

Guest post written by Diane Kimball

I’ve toyed around with writing short stories over the years, but I’ve never had the guts to actually try and get them published. Well, I decided that this year I should try and finally get some of my writing published. I’m not expecting to actually get paid for any of my writing, but I thought that it would be nice to at least get something in print so that other people can read it. Besides, I’m tired of just writing for myself, I would love for other people to actually enjoy my writing too!

I’ve been looking online for some tips about how to get published when I ran across the website debtcounseling.bankrupt.com. After I looked through it a little bit I decided to use the site to help our family evaluate options for our debt because you know that isn’t a problem that will just go away on its own, unfortunately.

I have gathered a few ideas about how to get my writing published, including some names for some literary magazines. I think that I’ll have to send in my work to some of those and see if I get any good response.

Menopause, Not A Laughing Matter

January 22nd, 2012

I know that menopause is nothing to really laugh about. I’m not looking forward to the day that I start feeling the effects of “The Change”. For some women it isn’t all that big of a deal, but in my family it is a major issue with the majority of the females that have gone through and the ones that now are going through it all. So something tells me that I’m in for one heck of a hormonal change. Not something to look forward to folks! But for now let’s have a giggle or two with this comic. I wonder which one I’ll be when my time comes……..

Gypsy – One of My Favs

January 18th, 2012

I have always been a fan of Stevie Nicks and her music. She has made some awesome videos, too.

I love just about every song that she has done on her own, and I love the songs by Fleetwood Mac. I know I have at least three of their albums in my music collection.

I would be thrilled to meet her some day.

Stand By Me

December 15th, 2011

One of my favorite songs from long ago is “Stand By Me.” I just love the idea of having someone in your life so loyal to you that they would be by your side – no matter what.

Then a movie came out with that title. It was a really good movie – very well written and totally believable dialogue and story line. Haven’t seen that movie in a very long time, so I thought it would be fun to pop it in the DVD player and watch it while doing laundry and some general housework.
