World of Writing - Author Interview We are pleased to introduce you to another author that Lillian met recently and began networking with. You know that we love networking! ;) Rosemary O'Brien has  been writing professionally for over 30 years and was an actress in musical theatre before that. She took a break to enjoy her children when they were young and while she was a military spouse, but now everyone is grown and her hubby is retired. According to Rosemary it was at this point that she was able to get " back to writing full-time. We currently live in Connecticut where I craft paranormal ghost stories and women’s fiction ."  She invites our readers to drop by her website: www.authorrosemaryobrien.com   and to check out her growing list of books at: www. amazon.com/author/rosemaryobrien Q: Why don't we start by having you tell us something about yourself? A: I am a full-time author who writes in what my family calls my ‘ Cave .’ It’s an office set up at the end of ...

Lynda asked this question via FaceBook Messenger :  " As prolific writers, podcasters, bloggers and marketers, how do you manage your time and day? "  Time management is always an issue - it's a delicate balance, really. 2 hours per day in marketing, 8 hours per week managing the 2 blogs, 6 hours per month to manage this channel, 2 hours per day spent in communications. Whew. In between that, well I'm busily taking courses, going to webinars and doing research for the next step in the action plan. Or I'm busily writing like a busy little bee. ;)  Check out the full response in this video:  https://youtu.be/lOn2aQa9BnA   ~~~     Follow the Brummet's & Find their  Books:   on Amazon Visit:   Drum It With Brummet Blog Subscribe:   Brummet Media​ YouTube Channel​  ​ ~~~

The  Recommended Resources  series has been published on this blog since we transferred it from the  Brummet's Muse  biweekly newsletter that ran for 6 years or so. When we closed it down, we decided that sharing resources was just too awesome not to continue. With this series, Dave and I have the pleasure of sharing some great resources which can include - positive impact organizations and events, citizen science projects and links to helpful articles.  Feel free to check out their websites, and perhaps send them a note of appreciation for what they do. It would, of course, be fantastic if you see a way to network with them or get involved some how, or possibly share their information with your networks. The Volunteer Tutor Literacy Program (via Okanagan College) is often seeking volunteers that are looking for a chance to help develop the literacy or numeracy skills.  http://www.okanagan.bc.ca   Western Canadian Music Alliance   n organization ...
