Sunday Morning News

I thought I'd share my Sunday morning news with the rest of you. Originally, this particular work of mine wasn't going to be published (or posted online) until tomorrow, but with "cyber magic", it's already online today!

For anyone interested in reading my latest MedHunters article, One Last Good-bye, zip on down the cyber highway and check it out.

MedHunters magazine is a great market for any medical, health issues, surgery-related, or even death-related stories you may have up your sleeve. Simply check out some of the stories they've already published and you'll notice when you come to the end of these pieces, there is an email address for submissions.

So, what are you waiting for? Feel free to take a peek at my non-fiction piece and then get busy brainstorming for your own. Write, polish, and submit to the email address provided! Good luck with your submissions and by all means, when they're accepted let me know so I can celebrate with you!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and may the new week bring much success writing the cyber highway!

So Many Stories!

Think about it... You have memories of your childhood, good or bad. Most have memories of a wedding/marriage, good or bad. There are memories of crummy jobs, horrific dates, taunting school years, the ups and downs of teen life, your first apartment/house.... How about memories of grandma or grandpa? What about girl scout/boy scout summer camp? Or some other camp?

There's the interesting old man that lives down the street and creates art from junk, or the lady that volunteers her time to comfort the sick at hospitals, nursing homes, or in their home...

If you really, really think about it, there are stories everywhere! If you hear someone chatting (not eavesdropping, just passing by!), you may even hear a word or phrase that sparks a great story or article.

What about the new restaurant in town? Or the elderly couple having to close their business after years of quality service to the public?

Keep your eyes, ears, taste buds, sense of touch, and nose open for great stories, they're everywhere!

Assignments

I'm really enjoying Jenna Glatzer's approach to freelance writing in her book, Make a REAL LIVING as a Freelance Writer.

Already, my mind is racing like crazy with all kinds of ideas for new stories. Be sure to check out her website as well: http://jennaglatzer.com/ and her blog: http://jennaglatzer.blogspot.com/.

Anyways, I'm thinking, "Why haven't I considered writing about that before?!" Things from our childhood or past, things we've forgotten ever even happened.... Jenna makes you think with these exercises and I'm sure I'll write on a bigger variety of topics because of it.
