Blogs

When blogs first began, Kathryn hated them. That's kind of amusing since Kathryn now writes for a number of different blogs and finds this work to be more satisfying than any other work that she does. She thinks that they're a great way to share news, spread information about local and independent endeavors and give a voice to people who might not be getting heard elsewhere. Kathryn considers her willingness to test out blogs despite her initial dislike of them to be a testimony to the fact that she's always willing to push her own boundaries and consider that things might be different than what she first assumes. She provides total content to some blogs, contributes to others and ghost writes for many that (for obvious reasons) are not on this list. Consider exploring these blogs and supporting them (if you like them) on social networking sites like Mixx, Digg, Stumble Upon and del.icio.us.

As a result of the following work, Kathryn is skilled at the use of all blog tools including multiple blogging platforms, image insertion and promoting her posts.

It has information about what the writing life is like, tips for writers at all levels, updates about Kathryn's work and insights into balancing creativity with a full-time writing job. It also includes a daily column called Inspired! which shows the different images, quotes, ideas and artists who inspire her work and her life.
