Saw your tweet about interviews etc… Interested in me? =) I could really use some promo for my latest release. Here is a direct link to sample the first chapter:

Thank you. I do teach at senior centers and adult education programs—and I love it. Wish I’d discovered this career 3 decades ago!

I follow you on twitter so of course I wanted to learn more about you. This is great! You teach at senior centers. That really must be rewarding. I want to read more of your writing. Thank you so much for the contact and may you have great success.

Hi Lynette,
I know your wrote back to me about my previous comment, but my email program seems to have lost your mail, as it sometimes does. You asked me to be back in touch about now about a guest blog post or interview. For now, I’d just to say Hi and let you know I’ll be on vacation until Oct 1. Let’s see about setting up something after that, if you’d like.

Hope things are going well for you.
J

Hi Lynette,
I love your blog and the title Polish and Publish. I’m passionate about craft, as well (and appreciated your kind words about my memoir, The River of Forgetting!). Any chance we could have a conversation or an interview on your site about the difference between writing for oneself and writing for publication? After decades of journaling and years of polishing my memoir, I have passionate feelings about that difference. I don’t want to discourage a single soul from writing, but I wince when people conflate “writing my story” with publishing.

Hi, Lynette. I saw that you have followed me on Twitter. Yesterday I got serious about Twitter. Got some good information via a blogging friend, and think I am “getting” it. Used correctly, and wisely, I see how it can help one find and connect with writers and others who have similar interests.

As you probably noticed, I write memoir–just had one published by a small press. (I’m also a full-time caregiver of a disabled daughter; she’s in my memoir.) I’m 71 years old, have perfect health, so far, and am trying to carve out time to begin a second memoir! And to read more books.

So. Here you are, a memoirist, too, among many other wonderful pursuits. I’m bookmarking your site so I can come back tomorrow and read in more depth. I just read through all the comments on this page, and I’m eager now to keep in touch with what you’re doing and writing, as well as to meet some of the people who commented here. Thanks for following me on Twitter, where I see you post a lot of interesting and helpful links.
