Making time for the writer in you to write

This is an interesting video that gives tips on how writers can fit writing into their over filled and over scheduled jammed packed lives.  

Which author, which page

            This post is different from my others because it is for a class assignment.  So, it’s a little more fact reporting.  I looked at two non-fiction authors and one fiction author for this assignment.  Over all out of the three Frances E. Kendall, Jessica Valenti, and Jackie Collins, Jackie Collins had the best site.   I must say that I didn’t understand the lack of flare on the non-fiction pages.  Non-fiction can be just as exciting, and engaging as fiction.  Even though I don’t read fiction much I read Jackie Collins from third grade until I was twenty. In sixth grade I was thrilled when I got to still in the hallway and read one of her books instead of watching E.T. in class.  (I to explained to my English teacher that I was forced to set through it once when it first came out and I refused to do it again.)   Anyway, Jackie Collins’ page was engaging, interesting, and fun.  One of the appealing things about her page is that she talks to her readers and fans and not at them.  She invites people to post of her comments and comments on those of her followers.  There is a link to her website as well as a sections for up coming events.  Her page is blocked off into months with a timeline included.  There are plenty of pictures from her personal picture, fan pictures, book cover photos, etc.  Her page keeps you up to date on current projects and where her books on in the development process.  There are also challenges and trivia questions some even have prizes attached to them.   She also checks into her page on a regular basis. Her definitely gives inspiration to myself and other writers as well
