OK, so I'm a writer, but even moreso, I'm a talker. AND I'm a shitty speller. In fact grammar in general is pretty bad. I look at writing as just me talking, sharing and delvinering what I know. It's the job of my editor to fix up the gramatical details that I don't have the patience for. My editor will not be editing these blogs. It's me, Andrea MacLeod, in the raw. Errors and all, here to hopefully inspire you in your writng dreams. After writing my first book "sister we need to talk. sound relationshiip advice that works," I was keen to find out if it were true that becoming an author instantly gave me the label "expert".  One month after my book was published as a dry run/editing still required, I was a guest on Toronto's popular Breakfast Television as their 'guest expert' of course. And two radio interviews on Cheryl Weekmarks Morning Show, as their guest.....yup...expert. It was easy being an expert even though it didn't reallly seem like i was one...heck i'm a housewife, crazy enough to homeschool her three kids who capitalizes on her A.D.D label.....oh how i liked removing my A.D.D label for this new one. All I had to do was talk about what i wrote. Easy peazy!

My next was to see if i could talk more about it in front of groups, as a guest (expert) speaker, and so I found a great event, sent them an email told them I was the author of bla bla blah, and I was in. Now....i need to learn how to public speak and put on a 90 minute presentation. OK. sounds like fun.

I'll keep you posted on how it's going. I've got to go and get my hubby a bowl of ice cream and then massage his feet. Why?Because that's what a damn good wife does.

Big Smiles,
Andrea.
