Things have been quiet around here as I’ve been trying to re-work my writing life. It’s not the best idea to let a blog be quiet but I’m fairly comfortable with the ebb and flow of writing here on Real Words. That’s because Real Words is where I write about my writing life and my writing life is something that ebbs and flows. My experience with writing changes regularly and the changes in this blog reflect that.
I’ve got a better plan in mind for writing again so Real Words will be resuming normal posts now. However, you should know that I’ve been a lot more active on my other blog, Diary of a Smart Chick, than I have been here. And that I’ll continue to be very active over there.
Diary of a Smart Chick started as a place where I could gather the links to all of my other writing around the web. It continues to serve that purpose. What I do there is to write about the topics that I’m writing about elsewhere and link out to those original articles as appropriate. When you write for certain websites or clients, you have to stick to specific topics or points of view. Diary of a Smart Chick lets me expand on my thoughts about the topics I’m writing on for others.
I’ve also started two new daily features on Diary of a Smart Chick. I’m featuring a Photo of the Day every evening which showcases some of the playing around I do with my camera. I’m hoping to learn photo editinf software soon and to let the blog be a place where I can track the progress of that experience. And I am also featuring a Book of the Day each morning which is just a short description and my opinion of a book I’m reading or have read in the past.
I hope you’ll check out what I’m doing over there and give me some feedback even as posts resume here about writing.

I would love to write a book. Do not know really where to start.
Have talked to some people and I have been told by so many many people I really need to write a book. Can you help where to start. Thanks.
