Usually I adjust media releases for blogs so that they look more like articles or personal letters and that's really what they were intended for. Many bloggers and newsletter and Web editors just print them as-is--either because they don't know they can--even should--change them or because it is more work to do so. The other thing about media releases is that people often forget they can slant (should!) them toward current events. Thus, this is a two-for-one blog post for InkedIn-ers. (-: Hope y…

Remembering Mothers a New Way
Award-winning Poets From Two Hemispheres Co-Author Chapbook
She Wore Emerald Then: Reflections on Motherhood was conceived by Californian Carolyn Howard-Johnson and Aussie Magdalena Ball as an alternative to the cloying greeting cards usually available for mothers in card shops. In fact, originally it was to be a thoughtful digital substitute for a card. That decision was probably influenced by the pair’s awareness that the Net was, in fact,…

In any case, these are spearheaded by dynamic women who deserve our community's support. My writing friend from Utah, Janet Kay Jensen, will probably be going and I hope to meet many others there.

I'm letting you know about this event a bit early because of the recent sorry news about the unemployment rate. Many will be casting about for new careers, in retirement and othewise. Of course, it will also be of interest to writers who want to expand their careers and to those boomers I mention in the headline. Feel free to edit, shorten, adapt to your needs. As always. (-:

As you may know, I rarely read my poetry. It's certainly not from lack of love of the genre. But two very special poets have asked me to read at an exceptionally supportive bookstore in Pacific Palisades in a couple of weeks (info below). I hope you'll join us and support our efforts. I'll read a couple of poems from Tracings, a couple from my coming chapbook She Wore Emerald Then co-authored with Magdalena Ball. Maybe a couple brand new ones, too. Please mark your calendars.
