Activism My Way, Wining Wife, Writing Research Editing by Ronda Bowen

What I’ve Been Working On – October Edition

Ronda Bowen

what-ive-been-working-onSo…I came down with the creeping crud. Fever, headache, sore throat, joint aches…yuckiness. It’s particularly yucky since I have a lot to do, and being in bed resting really isn’t part of that plan. Plus, October kicks off the start of my favorite time of year. I have decorating to do! All of that said, my “hey this is what I’ve been doing” post and other posts got delayed.

Consulting

I worked on some edits for a teen book, and I’m waiting for more of that book to be sent to me so I can edit some more of it. I’m excited about where the author is going with it. I’m also getting started on a project writing descriptions of photos for a photographer. Finally, I’m putting the finishing touches on a blog post for a client.

Blogging

I still need to finish transferring my domain information to my new hosting for the new homeschooling blog almost ready to launch. I can’t wait to share it with all of you. For Wining Wife®, I wrote several new posts, and I posted two guest posts. I’m still looking for someone to guest post 1-2 wine reviews a month through May since I won’t be drinking any wine for the coming months. Here were the posts that went up since I last blogged here:

I have some crafty tutorials I want to share on Wining Wife®, and some other fun things that will go up on the blog this month. I’m also planning on updating the blog’s theme so that it reflects that it’s a lifestyle blog.

I wrote about plastic-eating bacteria on Activism My Way, and I’m hoping to finish an article for that blog that discusses ways to get involved with relief efforts for Hurricane Matthew.

I’m working on a guest post for a major blog as well.

Ronda B. Handmade

I got a Cameo 3 and a Curio, and I’ve been working on bringing more custom products into the shop. I have a bunch of earrings to upload, and I need to sit down and finish lots of children’s clothes so I can photograph them and add them to the store. I’m really excited about this project still.

Other News

I finished my series on being productive; you can find it on this blog. I am hoping to put together some blog posts on how to do things like make a time map and boost focus. I have a lot of other irons in the fire at the moment, if I can just keep further colds at bay!

What have you been working on lately?

Published by Ronda Bowen

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.
