Like any writer, I can procrastinate with the best of them. Here are a few of my favorite sites.

FreelanceSucess.com  This site is my virtual water cooler, the place I met most of my writer pals. I limit myself to two quick check-ins per day. (Unless I’m looking for something specific.) It is THE site for the work-at-home writer.

ASJA.org  I am a proud member of ASJA. Five years ago, I founded the ASJA Personal Pitch, a speed-dating event for ASJA members, editors, agents, and book editors. The event spawned more than 100 books and thousands of editorial assignments. I’m pretty proud. Interested in attending next year? Feel free to drop me a line.

Grey Matter (Greyswriters.com) I love my Grey’s Anatomy, even though it jumped the shark at the beginning of last season. I love reading about how this show is written, though.

Webkinz.com OK, I’ll admit it: I’m addicted to my daughter’s Webkinz world. The games are such fun. Keeps me sane, too.

BiltmoreBeachClub.org  I am the entertainment chairperson for this organization. It consumes my life sometimes.

SunriseMothers.com Again, way too involved in this organization. I facilitate groups. I plan events.
