What I’m Working on Updates for July 11, 2016

2It’s been a busy time for me. I’ve made some good progress on various projects, but I’ve decided to push back the Facebook launch party for Smashed Metatoes™ until September 3rd. You can sign up here to get updates about the launch and join the fun.

Ronda BowenI’ve also been doing some rebranding work for my social media sites associated with my current projects. It had been a long while since I’d updated the banners and profile pictures on my blog and main writing and editing business Facebook pages.  I used Canva, and I’m pleased with the results. I think that they look great. I’m now working on updating the Twitter profiles.

I’ve been busy redesigning and rewriting the content on my writing and editing website so that it better reflects the services I offer my target market. It’s still a work in progress, but the more I work on it, the more I like the results.

I’m looking forward to getting a date and time nailed down for that. I have a lead writing for a literary magazine, and I’ve made contact with one of my former editing clients. I’m looking forward to working with her again.

I’ve received my fabric order from Mabel Madison, and I’m looking forward to making items to share on the blog there. I’ve almost finished the blog plan, and I’m looking forward to what we have in store for the next couple of months.

Current projects and recent articles:

  • I’m finishing up editing work on the book I co-authored, and I’m hoping to upload it to LuLu very soon. Keep tuning in for news about the book.
  • I’m nailing down the interview date and time with my publicist contact.
  • Recent Wining Wife® posts include: 2013 Dominos de Castilla Tinta de Toro and a review of the book, Shrill, by Lindy West. I have two more wines to review as well as a few crafting products and a baby product.
  • Listing the rest of the earrings I have ready to ship in my store at Ronda B. Handmade.
  • Recent Activism My Way posts include Enough Is Enough and a post covering economic justice and the cost of diapers.
  • I’m looking forward to finishing the planning work for two new blog launches for later this summer. Stay tuned for those.
  • I want to finish the rebranding of the website at Writing Research Editing.
  • I’m finishing the blog plan for Mabel Madison and sewing up some fun clothing items to share on the blog.

Stay tuned for more exciting news soon!

Hello there, and welcome to my page! I have been working as a full-time freelance writer and editor since 2008 when I decided that while I rather enjoyed philosophy, the Ph.D. program I was in was not a good fit for my life goals. Since then, I have published many papers and articles, started two blogs, worked as a senior editor for a magazine, served on the board of a start-up non-profit organization, and walked across fire. I strongly believe that it is important to work to make the world a better place – one project at a time. I’ve worked with Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program to construct living quarters for those in need, written content for Stonewall Alliance, and edited the newsletter for my local natural foods cooperative. One of the blogs I founded, Activism My Way is dedicated to helping people get involved with causes they feel passionate about. Although my academic background is in philosophy and social and political theory, my heart has always been in writing fiction and poetry. I have a novel in progress, and I am working on putting together a collection of short stories to share with readers. I also worked as part of a creative team on a project with a hip hop artist that involved world-building and creating an amazing back story to a concept album. I have worked with several authors to edit their novels (as well as dissertations, children’s books, journal articles, and non-fiction projects). Non-fiction topics I have written about include pop culture and philosophy, project management, business startups and management, insurance, technology, and much more. I also have created web content for a wide variety of clients (ranging from gas station owners to hotels to lawyers), and I’ve had an opportunity to interview some amazing people (Michele May, Kevin Sorbo, Barbara Taylor Bradford, and Mark Victor Hansen to name only a few). Needless to say, I love what I do. I enjoy photography, and my subjects these days are usually my children as well as food, beverages, craft projects, and other such things for my blog, Wining Wife™. My favorite subjects are landscapes, nature (particularly clouds, flowers, and trees), and architecture.
