I Am a Writer, Journalist & Blogger

Yesterday, someone asked me what was I an expert in. I told her writing and blogging. I have The Write Design Company and three blogs: As NOT Seen on TV, Shorty in Da House, and Marcie Writes.  For now.

The Write Design Company provides writing, design and social media marketing services. Copywriting, blogging, and social media marketing are the primary services I am promoting for my writing company. Ultimately, I am a writer.

As for my blogs, I do it because I love writing and it’s free. Blogging is one aspect of social media or online communities, but people wouldn’t understand that so I don’t include it in conversations. Social media marketing requires creative thinking and even more creative writing. That is not far off from what I do as a writer and journalist.

Now, the topics of my blogs are a different story. Blogging does not take away from my writing skills and abilities; however, the topics put me in different categories. Shorty is going to be a resources for the South Side of Chicago and As NOT Seen on TV will address media practices and influences.

So, does sharing the subjects of my blogs take away from my expertise as a writer and blogger? I don’t know. But, I will make it my business to ensure that people know that I am a writer, journalist, and blogger first and foremost.

Shorty’s New Blog is Looking Good

I’ll let you know when it is up and running.  Although my goal is set for December 15th, it may be operating before then.  Things are looking good and moving along.  My new personal Shorty blog is almost done.  The Write Design Co.’s website should be completed by Friday, November 20th. 

Although I would like for As NOT Seen on TV to be completed by Friday, November 20th also, I’m experiencing technical difficulties.  So, the 28th might have to be my date.

We’ll see.  I’m just majorly excited about progress!

 

I Am Still in Running for the MillerCoors Business Plan Competition

I received word this week that the business plan I submitted for the MillerCoors Business Plan writing competition has been forwarded to judges for scoring.  I am confident that I will flow through that process because I followed the outline the company provided, AND I had the help from the experts at The Women’s Business Development Center.  I’m looking forward to winning!

Thanks to Ms. Anna at Harold Washington Library

I want to thank Ms. Anna at The Harold Washington Library for her assistance with my “unsual” request for data .  She not only checked resources in the business department in which she’s located, she even went to the government department for help. Now, that’s service!
