Versatile Blogger Award

April 26, 2011 by Margaret Duarte

Rosi Hollinbeck, at The Write Stuff, just awarded me the Versatile Blogger Award.

She said she learns a lot from my blog about blogging and writing.

This is such a compliment, because that’s one of my main purposes here at Enter the Between, to share what I’ve learned so far about blogging and in my ten-plus years of writing fiction.

So much of what I know about both blogging and writing came from other writers, who so generously shared what they knew.

We need to stick together as a community, forge alliances, and promote and mentor one another.  What goes around, comes around.  A good deed is never wasted.

Thank you so much, Rosi, for doing your part in promoting a fellow writer.
 

Rosi is a pre-published writer and works almost entirely on children’s books, stories, poems, and articles.  She spent many years teaching high school English and is in love with words, books, theater, and related subjects.

Her children’s short story, Helen’s Home Run, just won first place in The Foster City Writer’s Contest children’s division.

Congratulations, Rosi.

Now, as part of my commitment to sharing what I know and as a thank you for stopping by, I want to share some writing/media resources put together by Janet Conner, author of Writing Down Your Soul and presenter of the Plug In Telecourse.
