Just Finished a Big Assignment

Hi all,

Fall was beautiful this year!

Thanks for visiting my very first blog post for my personal writing blog.  If you found me, it was probably through my other blog, Write Moms.  This blog is going to be a little bit different.  Instead of sharing information about where to write - I'll be sharing my experiences as a writer.  If you want to learn more about me and why I started this blog, visit the About Me tab at the top of this page.

Another Assignment in the Can

I just finished a series of skin care articles for She Knows which should be published in the first week in November.  (I'll give you all the links when they are live.)  The articles were a lot of work, but I learned a lot and had fun doing them. I also had a blast interviewing several top dermatologists in the country for the articles.  Okay, so by interviewing, I mean e-mailing questions and getting answers - but isn't that how it's done these days?  It was amazing how many were so willing to take the time to help me with my articles.  It helped to make the articles authentic.

How did I get in contact with so many great sources?  Here's the secret - there's this great site out there called Help A Reporter where you sign up as a writer for a publication or website and then you can submit your request for help.  I had dozens of replies in only one day for my skincare articles - and from some very respected sources.  So, if you haven't tried Help a Reporter yet - try it - you'll be happy with the results.

And yes, this blog will have a lot of shameless promotion of my writing on it - that's kind of the point. :)
