  • Yes, it is! In fact, far more considerate than I have been able to be. 😉

  • […] I’m sorry if this tone disturbs you. I like to uplift people. I like to be inspiring. But lately, with the political tone of the country, the repeated shock at many men in power abusing that power, I have started to say: enough of the shock. Let’s do something to make it better. I may not live to see a woman president of America, but I want to make some noise for equality in the poetry world, at least. If I can support other women writers by bringing attention to their work (which is why I do book reviews even though they are time consuming and mostly do not pay,) I want to do what I can to make the literary world a better place.

  • Hi Jeannine,

    Thanks for including PR ideas for disabled and chronically ill people in your book and blog. I can honestly say that without the hope and engagement writing gives me, as well as being part of the writing community, I wouldn’t have made it as far as I have. I find doing reviews rewarding and I do as many as I can. So far I haven’t made any money, but I have made a lot of friends and learned quite a bit from them. Sometimes I’m not as fast as people would like, but not all my days are good ones. I’m already feeling the changes that different weather brings, so I hear you on that. I wish you all the best and hope that you can make those travels!
