Women Writers'

Women writers' are a class all unto themselves.  The hardships that they had to endure to make their creative juices flowing to being publish was in itself a troublesome task to put it mildly.  They had no rights!  Virginia Woolf said it best in her book, A Room of One's Own, 1929.  The complexities  of  women of that time period to get the recognition they deserved, not to mention the time and space to write one's creative dreams was truly stressful.  Even if they did complete their dream of a book, just getting it published was yet another fiasco waiting to happen.  We were not on the same level as male writer's.

Autograph online!

There are times when I really hate technology.  For example, when I'm trying to format a manuscript and it doesn't work out or trying to save my photoshop brushes I've created and it doesn't work out, but one thing that I will say about technology is this new site, Kindlegraph.  Let me post what they say about the site... Kindlegraph lets authors send personalized inscriptions and signatures ("kindlegraphs") directly to the electronic reading devices of their fans. It is truly amazing.  Now your fans can receive an autograph from you without having to go to a book signing!  It's all done online now!  So if your fans are all over the US they now can get a signed copy of your book. Here is the link to all my books...you have to try it. http://www.kindlegraph.com/authors/suemidlock
