Rose of Sharon Jewelry

Tantrum Tues. posts are moving to my writing blog at Writes a Lot.com. At the ROSJ blog, it’s now Tantalizing Tuesday – mouthwatering, juicy posts that add sweetness, spice and passion to life!

I love writing the Tantrum Tuesday rants but I decided in the shower this morning (I do some of my best thinking there) that the Rose of Sharon Jewelry blog should totally focus on the positive.

Tantalizing Tuesday will be just as interesting (hopefully you’ll agree) as I talk about jewelry (of course!) and other topics that make life more joyous, more beautiful and more exciting!

The first Tantalizing Tuesday post will appear later this morning!

If you’d like to keep up with my tantrums and rants, I’d love to have you become a Writes a Lot blog subscriber.

You won’t be bombarded with daily posts but what you’ll find there will be worth an occasional quick read.

If you love to write or are interested in a writing career, I’ll be having conversations about the business, creative and personal aspects of being a writer/blogger.

Thanks everyone for all your support of Tantrum Tuesday – I’ll keep stomping my feet just in another location!

Blogging has recued my writing muse! I had abandoned my writing career for jewelry making (Nothing like always being underemployed. Ha!) Yesterday, I relaunched Writes a Lot, my online portfolio, as a blog.

For new readers, a little background might help. For over 10 years, I’ve been writing business books, freelance articles and other written work for MONEY. Yep, I’m a real writer. But I finally burned out and set that aside for a jewelry making.

For over 18 months, I’ve been blogging regularly for the Rose of Sharon Jewelry partnership. This year, I stepped up the pace, set an editorial schedule and started blogging daily. P.S. You can read the entire archive here.

During the process of moving the Rose of Sharon site to a new host, I decided to take down my award-winning writer portfolio. It was an online resume and freelance work search site that I constructed myself with FrontPage. But alas, it had become an abandoned billboard. It still looked fairly attractive, but I rarely even thought about it.

With a renewed interest in all things writing, I ripped down that billboard and have set up a nice, shiny new Writes a Lot blog. I found a great WordPress theme and started in 2 days ago. Before I knew, I had spent 6 hours building, tweaking and writing what you see today. I think I like creating the visuals and functions of a blog almost as much as writing.

So with a bit of fanfare – I’d like to introduce my new blogging venture for my writing career at Writes a Lot.

Stop by and see what’s up as I start sharing my career as an author and writing professionally again.  The posts won’t be a duplicate of the Rose of Sharon Jewelry blog and will reflect my “interest of the day” including developing and living a creative life.
