Hey Ladies!

I wanted to share that our own Carolyn Howard-Johnson, of the Frugal Book fame, is going to be featuring one of my articles on writing:

Writing - Celebrate Your Life.

Wuhoo! I can only say she's knows wisdom when she reads it. Am I right? (Don't answer that!)

You can view it on her blog Friday, May 14. Here's the LINK. Also, if you don't already get it, I'm telling ya...if you write, you need to have her newsletter, Sharing with Writers, that comes out once every other week. Her books are my writing bibles and sit right along side Mr. Stephen King's book, (On Writing), and Ann Lamont's (Bird by Bird).

So nowwww, you can go the site next Friday, read my column, tell me how wonderful and wise I am (this is not optional), sign up for the newsletter, and eat 10 Oreo's, all at the same time.

Is life good or what?

Life is good.
With friends like you.
My blog needed a little of your inimitable humor, G.
It's been a long time since I've come to this forum. You always inspire me. It's not that I don't love you. It's just that I need nudges. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Best,
Carolyn

Thanks Ms C!

Great article, JJ. I love the way you write - it's like having a conversation with you. You've inspired me to start writing more than the occasional poem. Thank you!!

Talk about a motivating article, the Queens words of wisdom did it for me again!

That is quite impressive that Carolyn Howard-Johnson’s blog is named to "Writer's Digest 101 Best Websites."

Got the grandkids here for a few days, but this link is put on the back burner just temporarily.
