A Fellow Writer Guest Blogs for Maria Shiver

Anne's book cover

Hello everyone,

Winter is my least favorite of the four seasons because I hate the cold, but it looks this weekend gave me an early taste. Snow at the end of October is not good, not good at all. Sorry but I felt the need to gripe.

On a more positive note I'm thrilled to share some wonderful news about Anne Witkavitch, an award-winning writer and fellow alumna of Western Connecticut State University's Master of Fine Arts Creative and Professional Writing Program.

This past week Anne was featured as a guest blogger for MariaShriver.com. Anne's inspiring post entitled "Practice Patience to Achieve Your Goals." In the post she gives tips and advice that have helped guide her as a writer. The post channeled some positive energy and thoughts for me. It also reminded me that achieving my goals as a writer is not out of reach if I can remember to practice patience. One of the things I love about reading other blogs is that it provides me "food for thought." Sometimes I process the information instantly, but other times I let what I'm reading marinate and I come back to it. With Anne's blog I did both.

I really hope you enjoy reading it too! If you do, make sure you post a comment and share it with a friend via email or your social networks. It's important for us to share the works of others that we find beneficial. I'm all about getting the word out.  Stay tuned for an Emerging Women In Film profile later this week. I will be interviewing the talented award-winning screenwriter Caitlin McCarthy. Thanks for reading.
