Welcome to the Writer’s Nook!

http://www.cindysdesktop.com/Cindy2009b.jpgMy name is Cindy Rushton and I am your hostess here at the Writer’s Nook. I want to personally wish you a very warm welcome! I am so glad you have found us!

Wondering “Just WHAT on earth the Writer’s Nook is all about??”

Great question! I have been writing for 18 years. I am not old, in case you are wondering! :) Actually, my earliest memories of writing were when I was two, I just did not consider myself to be a “writer” until that sweet day when my husband’s grandmother challenged me to “write” for our local newspaper. I still remember that uncertainty in my gut. I remember putting my whole heart into that first article. It was a risk. It was a step toward a dream that I had put aside for many, many years due to obstacles and hindrances all along the way.

Writer’s Nook is here to encourage, inspire, and equip you. I want to see you step up to the call to write. I want to see you write for God’s glory. I want to help you overcome the obstacles and hindrances that are blocking you from your dream. My prayer is that we can come alongside of you and make it easy.

So, welcome to YOUR nook! Welcome to the place where you can find friends to walk with you along your journey and help you all along the way. This is YOUR nook–the Writer’s Nook! Enjoy!

Build Your Brand with Guest Blogging

http://www.cindysdesktop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/MomWriting.jpgBlogging is such a big business these days. It is a great way to communicate with other business people as well as customers or even just friends. As an online business owner or professional blogger, writing for others can get you noticed and build your reputation.

What is a brand? It is your unique stamp. With big product companies like Pepsi-Cola or Nike, it is their trademark product and tag lines. But, they didn’t start that way. No one knew who either of them was or that they were solid products until they were marketed and that brand reinforced with endorsements and such from people we did know.

So, how can guest blogging help?

Well, first of all you have to have a blog or website of your own. You can’t establish a brand unless you have a place to showcase it in the first place. It may take a while, but your blog can establish a loyal following you can count on to follow you other places. Read the story »

Writer’s Radio Show???

The image ?http://www.cindysdesktop.com/wp-content/uploads/CoffeeLaptop.jpg? cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.Hi Cindy,

I recently found podcasts of your Writer’s Radio Show on itunes.  I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your past podcasts.  The Writer’s Radio Show podcasts stopped sometime in October…  I know you’ve got a million irons in the fire, and I don’t blame you a bit if you’re prioritizing and this one didn’t make the cut.  I just wanted to know if the Writer’s Radio Show is ka-put, or if it’s just on extended vacation.  Either way, I don’t fault you one bit for doing what’s right for you, I’m just curious.

Tip of the Week: TIME BOXING!

http://www.talk-a-latte.com/ebooks/MomOnline.jpgWe all want a better way to manage our time.  It is easy for the hours to slip by with only one task disappearing from our list.  Perhaps some time management skills are in order.

One useful tool for managing time and getting work done is time boxing.  No, there won’t be any violence here.  Think of the geometric shape of a box, instead of the ring and fighting gloves.

For some tasks, you might spend five hours completing each one.  Did you need five hours or did you spend that time getting it perfect?  Between breaks, your mind wandering, and other distractions, you might only have worked half that amount of time on the project.  Read the story »
