It’s Day 2 of the Author Blog Challenge, and I am feeling a little under qualified to be sharing my efforts with such experienced professionals…..but what the heck, you have to start somewhere, and I am proud of my achievments so far!!

Our guideline for todays post was:-

What kinds of classes, programs, or workshops have you taken to hone your skill as a writer?

 What sorts of exercises did/do you use to improve your craft?

Have you ever taught a writing class or workshop?

Well I score a big fat ZERO for all of the above!! AND I would like to add a few more that are not on my resume…

Website Design

Code Writer/Programmer

English Major

Literary Degree 

BUT I have managed to register a domain name, set up a Dream Host account, create this blog, write a book, get it loaded on Kindle and have it available for sale as a download on the ‘Better You Ebook’  page with the help of E-Junkie   and have managed all of this with no outside help, no technical savvy knowledge or having a nervous breakdown!

Anyone can do exactly what I have done thanks to the wonderful world of modern technology and being able to follow simple instructions to the letter, something I am very good at.

I am enjoying reading others blogs/journeys and wonder what other amazing things I am going to learn from some of the fab authors who are participating in this challenge.

Until tomorrow……..have a great day! I am!!!!!!
