Just Write!

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Virginia WrightEver since I was a little girl you could find me with paper and pen in hand, writing poetry, haiku's, and mostly writing anything that came to mind. I read a post recently that asked if being a writer was something you were born with or if you could be taught to be a writer? I personally think there are naturals in most everything we do in life. Some are born with a natural ability to sing, and when they take voice lessons can perfect and hone their craft. Others are born with an artistic ability, and over time their illustrations get better and better. But I also believe someone who has never drawn could pick up a paint brush, and begin creating, and if they create often, will get better and better at it. The same goes for writing, writing what you know is fun, but it might not necessarily pay. So then pencils must be sharpened, and research needs to be done, in order to write something outside of our comfort zone.
No matter what we do in life, I've found, there will always be competitors, and someone who is always trying to make it to the finish line before you do, and will occasionally!  All we can do, is do our best– write in a genre that we believe we would enjoy, and you guessed it…just write!

This Spring Plant a Flower Garden for the Honeybees

This Spring Plant a Flower Garden for the HoneybeesBy Virginia Wrighthttp://www.virginiawright.com/

THE HONEYBEE- Isn't it interesting to know, that the honeybee is the only insect that provides us with something that we can eat! That golden, sweet, healthy for us food called-- honey!  But with the disappearing honeybee population, our honey supplies are diminishing in the United States. This situation is called CCD or Colony Collapse Disorder; and researchers are trying to figure out reasons for honeybee disappearance.
You can help the honeybee population by planting a flower garden with flowers that grow in your local area that honeybees like. I will list a few that I know of that are great honeybee fodder when they are foraging for food.
* Zinnia's
* Aster
* Heather
* Black-Eyed Susan
* Cone Flower
No matter what type of flower plot you plant for your bees, don't use chemicals on your garden... this could be detrimental (harmful), to these much needed pollinator's.

Writing, Editing, Authoring, Oh, My!

     Back in 1981, when I sold my first writing to Washington County Magazine, a regional Maine magazine I never imagined that many years later, that I would be an author of four children's books, soon to be five.


     Many, many, years before that-- when I was about 10 - 11 years ago, I started writing Poems, Haiku's, and other words to which I felt would be great Country music songs for the radio. Back then we didn't have CD, DVD, or Music videos we had 45's, LP's, 8-track and cassettes. I'd...
