New Home!

Once again, I'm having to leave comments on blogs using my Blogger Account. If you want to find me, I am blogging about running at: www.POWERofRUN.com. OR find me on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/POWERofRUN

My goal with The Power of Run is to inspire runners and to make the world a brighter place, one runner at a time. I invite you to participate in this Facebook community and JOIN THE RUN! See you on the trail!

Totally gone AWOL

I totally do not use this blog anymore! To find me, go to this site. I'm talking running, writing and more running over there. :-)

The Word Chef

My crazy costume idea for the SCBWI national conference in August has taken on a new life.

I went to the SCBWI "Paint the Town Red" gala as "The Word Chef," with the intention of promoting all my author friends at Kidlit Central News. I wore a red chef's outfit with oven mitts, a spatula and a wire wisk tied around my waist and carried a plate of Zingers (red) with tiny book covers stuck in them.

It was fun--and a lot out of my comfort zone. I had the idea at the last minute, so I paid a small fortune to get the embroidered hat and apron sent to me on time. With all that cash spent, I knew I had to get another use out of that get up.

At the same time, I was looking for a way to connect with some young writers I know without seeming like that preachy mom/aunt/neighbor/friend.

From this, The Word Chef was born. The Word Chef offers writing tips for kids, in video and photo essay format. Everything is a cooking analogy, so the lessons are easy (and fun!) to remember.


I hope you'll stop by The Word Chef's blog--and help spread the word.

But, for the really good stuff, you'll need to get a LJ account and become my friend :-)

I was double-posting the writing-related stuff, but it's just becoming too time-consuming.
