Like so many other things, I almost missed the biggest party of the year. It's the Ultimate Blog Party 2008 and everyone's invited. You can get your boogie on, too. Just head on over to 5 Minutes for Mom to learn more. But remember, it's BYOB (Bring Your Own Blog). Now get over there, get the scoop and get on the dance floor!
I also write for a health and nutrition blog and a green living blog, and I'm working hard to build a freelance writing business so that one day I can say good-bye to my technical writing job in corporate America and work for ME. I'm learning to network and market myself, but it's not easy considering I tend to be a bit of a wallflower. Thankfully, I have found some great examples to learn from.
So, now that you know a little bit more about me, why not take a look around? Check out my archives, take a jog around my blogroll or just close your eyes, spin around three times and point to a post. You just might find something you like. Welcome to Writing My Life!
P.S. The Ultimate Blog Party is offering tons of prizes for 2008. My favorites are:
- Custom blog design by Summer (#45)
- A $20 gift card(#39) for Amazon (so I can buy more books, of course) offered by The Organized Knitting Club
- $20 for Lush (#149) provided by After a Cup of Coffee...Or Two
- A set of greeting cards (#41) from Just Being Notsey
- Customized fitness plan (#58) with Go Workout Mom
- A blog makeover (#67) by See My Designs
And this year you don't have to be a blogger to win. Just post a comment at the official Blog Party post and then leave comments at the blogs of at least 20 of this year's party-goers to qualify. I'm sure you'll find some new friends along the way, too, and isn't that prize enough?

Hiya - thanks for stopping in to our party in the Bahamas! I am going to put you in my reader so I can come back and read some of your stuff when it's more relaxed. I love people who write - I think it is such a noble hobby.
Thanks for stopping by my party and inviting me to yours - I'm still trying to get through the list, bookmark and plan to come back to sooooooooooooooooooo many blogs. I like your 'BYOB' reference and the song reference. See you soon.

Thanks for stopping by! It does sound like we have a lot of similar interests.
For starters I've been interested in joining a csa for a couple years now (just not sure it will work out where we live), and have been oscillating between vegetarianism and "flexitarinism" my whole life.
Your blog is really interesting, and I'll have to stop back in when I can do a little more reading.
