Marcia tells it like it is...

Posted by RedWritingHood at 12:06 PM

If you're tired of the "internent marketing gurus" giving you the Big Sell, you should watch Marcia Yudkin's video on what her life is like in the internet marketing world.

But this isn't an internet marketing post... I think what Marcia is saying about marketing, we could say about writing. (I haven't gotten that quiet and spacious office... but give me a couple of years!) This would be very close to my ideal life!

So this week, I'd really like the MNABC writers (and our readers) tell us what the ideal lifestyle is for YOU!

And you can visit Marcia here.

We are a group of writing mothers who have come together to write about being writing mothers! There's no age limit, no required number of kids and no one way to be a writing mother, please join in the discussion!

Beware... no topic is OT.

Queries? Check
Poop? Check.
Time management? Check.
Boob talk? Check.
Pregnancy? Check.
Internal and External Editor problems? Check.

So *exactly* who are we?

Carolyn Erickson is a freelance writer, working from her home in Wichita, Kansas. (No, it isn’t all cows and wheat. We have sculptures, and tech companies and famous entrepreneurs. Yes, it is hot, but it’s a dry heat.) More importantly, Carolyn is Mom to her first-grader, and step-mom (not wicked) to two grown sons. When she isn’t writing, she likes to join Yahoo Groups and talk about writing. (And she likes to think she’s funny, but it’s a dry funny.)
