Here are this week’s new articles from The Adventurous Writer – divorce was the hot topic, because of a wonderful book I’ve been reading (and no, it’s not because my marriage is unhappy!). I also wrote about writing careers, Thanksgiving, saving money for Christmas shopping, and Halloween costumes.

First, advice from Ray Bradbury for writers:

“To sum it all up, if you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling.

You must write every single day of your life.

You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next.

You must lurk in Continue reading 'New Articles – Divorce, Divorce, Divorce! and Thanksgiving Dinner'»

Here are this week’s new articles from The Adventurous Writer – they range from writing author bios to overcoming infertility depression to weight loss tips for teens! Plus, below is my “what I’m  reading” and book recommendation for the week.

First, a quip for writers:

“Failure is part of it. You will be rejected dozens and dozens of times. The best way to prepare for it is to have something else in the works by the time the rejection letter arrives. Invest your hope in the next project. Learning to cope with rejection is a good trait to develop.” – Po Bronson.

Learning to cope with rejection is a good trait for all people, not just writers. Bounce back and move forward, my friends! And, check out my newest articles… Continue reading 'New Articles – Writing Author Bios, Solving Tax Problems, and Overcoming Infertility Depression'»

Here’s a round up of my most popular articles about love, relationships, and infidelity on Quips and Tips for Achieving Your Goals. Although I want my money articles to be more popular — it seems that love, relationships, and infidelity is what readers are most interested in! And since I aim to please…

Here are my three most popular articles about love:

• How to Let Go of Someone You Love
• Love or Infatuation? 5 Ways to Tell If It Could Be True Love
• 15 Meaningful Ways to Say “I Love You”

And my three most popular articles about relationships:

• How to be a Great Husband
• 11 Tips for Fighting Fair in Marriage
• 10 Ways to Improve a Bad Relationship

And finally, my three most popular articles about infidelity:

• 6 Signs of Emotional Cheating
• Learning Why Men Cheat From Gary Neuman
• Tips for Surviving an Emotional Affair

About the Adventurous Writer website — which is “a work in progress”:

I can’t decide what I want this website to be! The site, The Adventurous Writer, is the hub of my other four blogs, so it should represent those sites. I did post a few weekly writing strategies, but found it’s too similar to Quips & Tips for Successful Writers.

So, now I”m playing with the idea of rounding up my most popular blog posts about topics ranging from love to successful freelance writing. Or, a weekly roundup of all the posts I published on my blogs.

Or maybe I should do a round up of my most recent articles on all my blogs…sort of a “snapshot of my week.” Above all, I want this website to be helpful to my readers!

What do you think? If you have any thoughts about this website or what you’d like to see, please share below! And — I’d love to hear about what you do on your website or blog…what works for you?
