A little about yourself...

I'm a mom of 2 two year-olds and I own a writing and marketing business called Writing Roads that specializes in blogging and web 2.0 marketing....but from a women's perspective: it's all about building relationships and community. I live on Martha's Vineyard and work in a tiny post and beam shed in my backyard with my dog at my feet and my children's voices and laughter filling up the air outside my door...it's heaven.

What kinds of things do you typically Twitter about?

Writing, Web 2.0, Marketing, Blogging, Life (& Politics lately!)

What are your areas of interest?

mommyhood, business, blogging, social media, twitter, work-at-home, politics

EClass: How to become a freelance writer

When I started my business, I had a handful of books to guide me. But what I really wanted was a guide - for someone to literally propel me through the process, hold me accountable and steer me in the right direction.

I’m so pleased to be able to offer this EClass to you in order to help you start your business, to be the guide that I was looking for once upon a time. I will be asking you questions and supporting you as you find the answers & as you take action - and I’ll be giving you some… Continue

blog redesign: an advertising deal

Yes, you are still at the Writing Roads Blog, aka. Blogging Roads!

Last night my dear designer, Leslie Tane, surprised me by expanding my blog into three columns with a new theme called Amazing Grace, a lightweight, super-optimized WordPress theme packed with features (SEO, Adsense & Widget Ready) created by Vladimir Prelovac. I was thrilled as I’ve been itching for some more elbow room!

One impetus for this space-making was that I’ve been approached by several vendors looking to advertise… Continue

Eating Disorder or Just Starving?

I already know my answer...but a lot of women out there have no idea about theirs. For 12 years, I struggled with my weight, I binged, I purged, I didn’t eat, I suffered from chronic IBS, bloating, gas and pain, all I thought about was food, I loathed my body, I loathed myself.

At the time, I had several dietary rules/beliefs:
1. Eat as little fat as possible.
2. No dairy.
3. No meat.
4. Non-fat frozen yogurt doesn’t count as anything.
5. If it comes from the ‘health food store’ it’s fine.
