Sista Poets
Was flipping through a book about #writers one time and found some #quotes by female #poets. Sharing 3 quotes below. The first quote made me picture myself standing before one of my kids and making this statement. The last two actually made me feel like so

Life of Writers: Website for Writers of all Skills, Levels
As I explained in an earlier post, Blasting News: Writing Site, I'm trying to take my writing more seriously than I have been. To that end, I've been searching the Internet for sites that may provide inspiration and direction. One result of that search has
How culture influences writers
#How-culture-influences-writers is not difficult to know. It is an undeniable truth that #culture affects out behavior and shapes our beliefs and perceptions as writers. It affects our topics and what we write on just as our choice of words or diction One

What Do You Think of Seekyt's New Revenue Sharing Contest?
Many of us who used to write for #Squidoo used to chafe under the tier system – a system where lenses were given a tier. Lenses in the top tier received a greater portion of shared advertising revenues than lenses in the bottom tier or no tier. No ma
Online Writing Communities – My Job
Recently read a post by a fellow #freelancewriter who has got to be one of the most ambitious #writers on the web. Her paw prints seem to be everywhere and ALL of her stuff is really good! ( &Ruby3881 ♥) She wrote a #FOPP post and indic
10 Successful Female Novelists Who Hid Their Sex

Mildred the Cat - I am bored
Howdy everybody. How ya all doin? Long time no write but I am doing ok, hanging in there best I can. I must admit, life around here can get boring. As much as I love my mom (she is my primary chicken treats provider), she sure is boring and I mean BORING.
Hmm...forgive me for being SO suspicious of this site
Well, there is another writing site that has just cropped up and I am wondering how long it will stay afloat. My gut feeling is, not too long and there are several reasons for it. First, it seems to be that the owners/admins of this site are not really w
A Needed Clarification For Future Readers
I shared a link here earlier to a connection's post on Bubblews. The goal of sharing the link was NOT to promote the site, it was to share what I thought was an interesting post. As long as I have friends and connections on the site & as long as they
Mildred the Cat … Help, more name calling
Howdy everybody. I hope everyone is well. I am ok, except for all the name-calling still going on around here. You know I’ve been having a problem with my mom calling me absurd names like Mildred Kitty Witty. Today she came up with a new one –
Bubblews - Status Report
Not writing this in the hopes of dividing and conquering. Not trying to get anybody to back me up. Not seeking out PROs or CONs either way. Just reporting the facts and opinions. My facts. My opinions. There are writers that are either done with #Bubblews
Freedom writers
Last Saturday (Philippine time) around 12:30 midnight, I cannot sleep yet, so, I decided to watch a movie from a DVD player. What I picked was a story about an English teacher for freshmen in Wilson High School in Long Beach, California. The story entitled
i need less than $0.46 to reach $10
A while ago we started arranging the books at the shelves to their proper area of responsibility. But that is not my topic for this article. I am very glad that i am nearly approaching the half of the redemption here. I am now at 47% cashout progress and i
The Ransom of Red Chief, by O. Henry
Has anyone read the story "The Ransom of Red Chief" by O. Henry. It is one of the funniest short stories that I have ever read. It is about two con men who decide to kidnap a young boy for ransom thinking that they will have an easy time earning some quick
CGP Gallery: An update
I became a member of #CGP-Gallery quite a while back but was not very active because of a number of issues. Trust being one and time being another. However, once I crossed the $10 mark, I put in some extra time and effort to see if I could #cash out. Bes
Living in Transient Times
Having earlier seen an advertisement for another #writing website, I decided to investigate, out of curiosity. The first #article I turned up about this particular #site related to its apparent wholesale #removal last year of content by writers who had bee
Are There Many Brits on Persona Paper, the Online Writing Site?
Many online writing sites appear dominated by writers in the US. On other sites I've even maintained a list of UK writers in an attempt to round them up and make it easy for new members to find them! You'd think that being a Brit and writing online wouldn'
How to attract readers to your post
There are millions of posts or articles on the internet that are similar to yours and are competing with you for the same attention. This implies that, to get attention, you need to do some basic but important things that are legitimate to get the best mar
I'll Fly Away
Albert E. Brumley was one of the most prolific and best known #songwriters of #hymns and Southern Gospel Music during the 20th century. Born on an Oklahoma cotton farm in 1905, Brumley grew up as radio was establishing itself as the primary medium of mass
Please Welcome Two of My Friends On Board
I'm delighted to have them both here to help us make Persona Paper a great site. They are both experienced #writers, but each has a unique style and niche. If you write on that other site, you probably have met one of both of them. I hope you will join me
Learning About Personapaper
My last post was very inspiring seeing many #writers from this site commenting and giving advice to fellow writers. Someone told me that #tagging here requires the use of the # and not the + unlike #Bubblews. I admit that I am a hard core bubbler but
Eight Reasons I Love Writing at Persona Paper
The Editor. I have been writing for another site that pays fairly well, but its editor is funky and makes its writers look incompetent. The Persona Paper editor not only lets us put our book titles in italics, but it also gives us a lot of other bells
Another one bites the dust
A number or us who submit our work at one of the major content writing sites received notice yesterday that it would no longer continue. The site would shut down that component as of July 31, 2014. I wouldn't say that news came as a surprise. I think we a
Increasing Followers - Dos and Don'ts
"Followed. #Follow back, please." I and other fellow #writers are probably just as sick of hearing those words as you are of typing them. Seriously. It's time for a new strategy because all that one does is make me NOT connect with you. Harsh? Possibly. Ne
Google Images and Yahoo Images are NOT Image Sources, But Search Tools
One very common mistake I often advise new #writers about is the incorrect use of #images with their written #content. Many believe that if they search #Google Images or #Yahoo! Images for a photo, they can then use that photo and credit Google Images or Y
THE PERSONA FEVER IS CATCHING UP WITH BUBBLEWS WRITERS
I have notice an amazing trend of migration of some of the best writers from bubblews to persona. I do not want to believe that they are only interested in exploring new writing sites. The fact is that, they may be fed up with so much on bubblews except th
