Don’t be a Troll
What’s Jack up to? Whew. Wild boy is fine and happy for a few hours of quiet on this Monday morning.
This weekend was my monthly RWA/NYC local chapter meeting and we were treated to an exceptional talk on self promotion and blogging by Sarah from Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Books (that would be us ya’ll!) and Ron Hogan from Media Bistro’s Galley Cat.
Thanks to Sarah and Ron for being so candid on with their views and generous with their advice for the newbies of the group. Love the bit about not being a Troll. You know someone who goes around saying inflammatory things just to stir up trouble. Don’t you just hate people like that? They are not as cute as these litte guys to the right. If I ever get Trollish and it’s not about reality TV, feel free to give me a verbal smack-down.I walked away from the talk feeling like I was a least doing some things right with my little blog here by being my true self and sharing my thoughts on: Writing, TV, Knitting and life. Being a pre-pubbed author this is really a way to show my voice and get some words on a page every day even when my WIP is not flowing like I’d like. And let’s face it, it’s a bit therapeutic. Even if you’re not really listening I like to think you are!
This blogger thanks you for tuning in.
Best,
Kwana
Wordless Wednesday
It’s A Party!
Hey, I just noticed that this is my 100th blog Post!!!!
Happy Anniversary to me!!!
What’s Jack up to? Just being Jack. It’s a pretty good life!
So I just found the great site called 5 Minutes for Mom. Love the title and any place I can get 5 minutes for me makes me happy!
Its a site where Moms can get together to share thoughts and ideas. This week their hosting a blog party so that we can all make new blog friends and maybe win prizes.
The top 3 prizes I would choose are :
1. # 92 Pearl Earrings from http://pamperingbeki.com/
2. #135 handmade necklace from : http://www.dandeliondayz.com/
3. #147 earrings from: http://www.2bellesandabead.com/To all new friends thanks so much for stopping by and to all my old buds, keep coming and please click on the cute widget with the dancing ladies and check out some of the cool blogs.
Here’s a little about me for those newbies. I’m a mother of teen twins (double the fun, HA!), a former fashion designer and now a women’s fiction writer. I also have a strange love of reality tv that I can’t seem to shake. So if you’re into family, books, fashion, decor and not-so-real TV this is the place for you!
I also am the caregiver of the most terrible and terribly cute terrier named, Jack. I usually give a daily update on Jack since he’s the only one living in my house that can’t sue me for libel later!
Thanks for stopping by. Come on back now ‘ya here!(oh and please click on the banner above for newer posts.It will be worth the while!)Best,
KwanaWelcome to the darkside
I want to give a shout out to my knitting buddy and brand new blogger, Eileen- aka- Wish List Mom. With a push from Patricia (thanks for the shout-out today) and I, instead of knitting, Eileen set up her blog today. She’s a wife, mother, home-based business owner and loves TV just as much as I do! Could it be true.?Today she’s blogging about some craziness going on at Big Brother. Hop on over and give her a welcome.Have fun Eileen!Best,Kwanaimage thanks to flickr
