The epitome of my writing encompasses experience, growth, and definition of my soul. Winning is an honor and signifies intense dedication. I welcome additional opportunities.

I learned to recognize and resolve my strengths and weaknesses while serving as an editor-in-chief of my college newspaper. Developing connections and implementing feedback from other members are two benefits of being a Gaslight Writer. Creating and maintaining the group's website offered me opportunities for expanding my knowledge, creativity and problem solving skills.

As part of my freelance writing, I broaden my field of experience through Marketplace. I enjoy rating the articles by fellow writers; thus, helping to develop their craft. The community allows me to strengthen my communication skills and confidence.

My website is a new direction for me and I work with a sense of vigor to update it on a weekly basis. I include samples of my: writing, interviews with fellow writers, activities, and miscellaneous features. I will add the link to it no later than June 6, 2008.

I think about writing all the time. I can see stories in a passing train and a motorcyclist zipping down a curvy street. I write fiction and non-fiction, features and online content. Books in various stages await my creative spirit and enduring strength. May God bless me with a day of peace and quiet!

8 of 15

Raising a child is expensive and costs rise each week. Saving money is crucial for meeting needs. Single parents generally have a harder time than two-parent households. Most parents know about the common tips of cooking large portions and splitting them into smaller ones, clipping coupons, buying clothes and toys at the end of a season. Yet, no idea or tip, no matter how smart it sounds, will work if it does not meet your family's needs.

As a single parent myself, I know money is tight and these are the tips I have to share. Feel free to use them, or modify if needed.
