<p>I've been interested in the written word and writing all my life. Over many years of writing, revising, editing, and learning, I have discovered that I am much more successful when working with my creativity.</p> <p>A well-written letter or document makes my day. There is nothing like reading a well-polished letter ready to be signed, sealed, and delivered. Since 1997, I have been a freelance writer. In 1997, I took a writing course through &quot;The Writer's Digest School of Writing&quot; called, &quot;Marketing your Non-Fiction Workbook.&quot; In 2003, I self-published a book called, &quot;Rainbow Wishes and Colorful Dreams&quot; which can be purchased at barnesandnoble.com and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rainbow-Wishes-Colorful-Dreams-Self-discovery/dp/1401096522/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1214433517&amp;sr=1-2">amazon.com</a></p> <p>In 2000 - 2003, I taught creative writing to home-school students. This was my best job ever! Kids are so eager to learn and please the teacher/instructor. In 2004, I was offered the opportunity to become a Contributing Editor for an e-zine called <a href="http://www.suite101.com/">Suite101.com</a>, and wrote for four columns. In addition, I wrote and designed two online workshops at Suite 101 University for &quot;Women Abuse&quot; and &quot;Mothers and Daughters Celebrating Life.&quot;</p> <p>Currently I am writing How-To articles for <a href="http://www.ehow.com/">ehow.com</a> and currently working on a second book called, &quot;Teardrops on Roses: Violence Awareness and Survival Techniques for Young Women.&quot; I am researching for my third book.</p> <p>I have written over 50 articles for Suite101.com, wrote and designed a policy manual for a &quot;local&quot; Humane Society, wrote and designed Bylaws for a &quot;local&quot; PTO Primary School, and wrote and designed a menu and brochure for a &quot;local&quot; restaurant.</p> <p>I received a Two-Year Associates Degree (Applied Science - Studying Law) and currently working on B.A. majoring in Psychology.</p> <p>In addition, I atttended four writing workshops (in the area I live).</p>
