The Fat Ask and the Big Ask

Jan 01, 2009 20:01

I've been playing with Twitter in the last couple of days (fun!), and a couple of friends have pointed me (more than once, I think) toward Havi Brooks (and her most excellent and highly esteemed duck, Selma) at the Fluent Self. She has one post in particular, Learning the Art of the Ask, that I've been chewing on all day.

I love this idea, the art ( Read more... )

money, assertiveness, fat, naafa, the ask

This is just AWESOME!!!!!! Congatulations, I'm certain that universal gears are shifting right now to get you what you want :)

THANK YOU! maryrw January 2 2009, 04:40:00 UTC

Thanks for your encouragement, dances! I still feel like I have committed an act of outrageous audaciousness. I hope that's good... Still not too sure. But I'm not taking it back. So there. :P

The universe *loves* acts of outrageous audaciousness!

I'm sending out my own request that your dreams come true!

You're a strong, talented woman. I don't believe that it's hubris to want to earn a living doing something you do very well, it's using the gifts given to you by the universe. The universe may not simply answer with a resounding "YES!" (I think it has too much of a sense of humor for that!), but it will definitely answer.

Thanks, Clever, Purple, and Book! Your en-courage-ment means the world to me!

You're right about the universe, bookwurm--wicked sense of humor!

That was a great article .. and since you asked.. hehe .. on myspace .. among my friends and in their blogs on myspace are authors with 'how to' writing articles that you could avail yourself of .. but of course there are books and online sites about it I am sure... and since you have done the editing .. I really don't think you need too much help .. since you have been correcting so much of others work .. it should come pretty easy .. You just write and write... and then .. you edit .. which is right up your alley so to speak.. and it will come out perfect !! *smile* ... there .. your problem of how to go about writing ..has been answered.. and congrats.. for making the decision to write .. :-)

Thanks, TigerLady! The help I need is mostly nuts and bolts in terms of blogs and broadcasting them. Thanks for your encouragement and your *smile*. Cheers!
