My recent “Quips and Tips” articles focus on re-evaluating goals, setting new intentions, and money money money! Creating financial abundance is one of my favorite topics, so I’m forging ahead with money and goals…because it’s more fun to be The Adventurous Writer when you’re actually making money writing.

What’s really been on my mind, however, is a 2,500 word article I just wrote for alive magazine. That’s the longest, most in-depth article I’ve ever written – and it was stressful! Why I want to write a 70,000 word book is beyond me…and yet I’m still aiming for a book contract from a reputable book publisher…

Also, I started a new “Quips and Tips” website, called Quips and Tips for Love Relationships. I found my Achieving Your Goals blog to be too love-heavy, so I’m transferring articles from Goals to Love…which means my Love blog is basically creating itself!

This month, my “Quips and Tips” articles ranged from Valentine’s Day gift ideas to having multiple babies because of fertility treatments…with a little bit of Maui thrown in for good luck!

What’s really on my mind, however, is my “Make Money Blogging” course that I’ll soon be teaching through Simon Fraser University, in Vancouver. I’m thrilled at the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the years…and I love earning money from my blog writing! If you’re in Vancouver in May, I hope to see you at the course. Questions? Ask me below!

My newest Quips and Tips articles range from making your blog posts more popular to discovering how your personality affects your saving and spending habits (money psychology!).

And, I’m sad to report that my literary agent and I aren’t on the same page when it comes to my latest book proposal…which means I’m looking for new representation! I’ve sent out a few query letters to agents before Christmas, and will continue my search in the new year…wish me luck…

My newest Quips and Tips articles range from signs that it’s time to invest in your writing career (hire a Webmaster!) to tips for getting pregnant with dairy products. I also posted a several Christmas articles – mostly about saving money and making shopping easier.

And, I’m happy to report that I sent my book proposal to my agent and my writer’s group! Phew – such a load off – I can’t imagine what it’ll feel like to send a draft of my book to the publisher after months of researching, writing, and editing…

I also had my hubby make a blog button for “The Adventurous Writer”, which I’ll be posting on all my Quips and Tips blogs. Love being married to a true Renaissance Man – he fixes the plumbing and creates works of art. Thank you, Bruce!

Recent Quips and Tips articles include helping friends who have breast cancer, improving your interview skills, and jazzing up your email signature. I’m excited to include Quips and Tips for Spiritual Seekers – my newest blog – for the first time in my roundup of articles!

I’ve been slogging my way through working on and enjoying a book proposal for the Quips and Tips series.   It’s tough work, pulling together a book proposal, especially when there’s no guarantee your book will ever hit the shelves. But I’m trying to enjoy the process and not get hung up on the “what if this is all a big fat waste of time?” stumbling block.

If you have any words of advice or encouragement for me, I welcome your comments below! And now, here’s a roundup of my latest articles on Quips and Tips, See Jane Soar, and Psychology at Suite101… Continue reading 'New on Quips and Tips – Breast Cancer, Author Interviews, Email Signatures'»
