Writing Salon Mistress Muses

One Word Story

One of my regular Daily Write Round Robin students, Brenda (thanks, Brenda!) sent this website link out to everyone who was in my last Round Robin class. She called it "a hoot," and suggested people might have a bit of fun with it "between Round Robins."

One Word Story

Brenda also included this little note to me:

"I have submitted one of my Round Robin writes in the past to The Sun magazine's "Readers Write" section, which was published.  And recently two of my RR daily writes scored me guest blogging opportunities on the Her Zine site...  Not telling you this to 'brag', but somewhere along the way in all my daily RR's I've learned a thing or two."

I wrote back to Brenda to say that I didn't think she was bragging! What's wrong with feeling happy and proud about being published? I'm always glad to hear from WS students about their publishing successes, and am also happy to include the specifics of the publication - where and when - here on this blog.
