WritersNotes.Net: Helping Writers Follow Their Dreams Through Information, Inspiration, and Encouragement!
Age of Conversation, Round 2, Comes Out Swinging
In a massive effort to raise $15,000 for Variety Children's Charity, Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton have once again joined forces to assemble a diverse group of 237 authors from around the blogosphere and across the globe to create Age of Conversation 2: Why Don't they Get It? AOC 2 is the sequel to last year's popular Age of Conversation, itself a collaborative effort between 103 authors which raised $14,000 for Variety.
Age of Conversation 2 Will Make You Think
Age of Conversation 2 is about communication in a lightning-fast, technology-enabled, globally connected world. It explores various issues which affect us all, providing thought-provoking commentary on the realities of real-world vs. virtual interaction in the 21st century—realities which we often overlook, misunderstand, or fail to recognize the full impact of.
Multiple Authors and Perspectives Will Add Variety to Your Reading Experience
Age of Conversation 2 offers 237 unique perspectives on a wide array of topics relevant to modern life. It's a plethora of fascinating viewpoints, eloquently expressed by some of the best internet writers of our age, who represent a whole spectrum of backgrounds and philosophies and hail from 15 different countries. Aside from their expertise with the written word, and a bit of life-, work-, and business-experience thrown in for good measure, the only thing these authors have in common is a desire to donate their time and talents to help sick children around the world get well.
An Array of Fascinating Topics Will Grab Your Interest
Topics AOC 2 authors explore in this one-of-a-kind book are listed below:
Manifestos
Keeping Secrets in the Age of Conversation
Moving from Conversation to Action
The Accidental Marketer
A New Brand of Creative
My Marketing Tragedy
Business Model Evolution
Life in the Conversation Lane
You can bet that this creative group will have many intriguing ideas to share in each bite-sized, single-page treatise. Coming in at 258 8-1/2 x 11 inch pages, AOC 2 is one book that will provide you with reading material for quite some time--yet each individual article can be enjoyed in a single sitting whenever you have a few free minutes. It's the ideal book for busy people.
Sneak Preview of My Own AOC 2 Chapter
Here's a sneak peek at part of my chapter, which falls under the Life In the Conversation Lane category. It's called "Who's Using What? (or What's Using Whom?) Life in the Internet Age."
Thanks to the internet, the world is getting smaller every day. The Web has opened vistas unimagined just a few short years ago. Thanks to the advances of modern technology, we now have access to news, information, entertainment, goods, and services from half-a-world away, literally at our fingertips 24/7, 365 days a year.
Welcome to the age of mega data, super commerce, and ultra communication...
AOC 2 Launches Today (October 29, 2008)
Age of Conversation 2 debuts today at Lulu.com at 8 am U.S. EST and will be available for purchase in your choice of e-book, hardbound, or soft-cover versions. (Prior to 8 am U.S. EST today, only last year's original Age of Conversation will be available.) Visit the site for pricing info. As mentioned earlier, proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit Variety Children's Charity, so you'll know your money is going to a good cause.
Don't miss out on a fantastic read—and a wonderful opportunity to help children in need. Hurry over to Lulu.com today and pick up your copy of Age of Conversation 2: Why Don't They Get It? You'll be glad you did!

Join Yvonne and Other Fellow Writers for a Great Time of Sharing Each Weekend!
On Friday, September 7th, Yvonne Russell, at Grow Your Writing Business, kicked off her new Writers (and Bloggers) Cafe. In her own words, her purpose for instituting this writers' gathering every Friday through Sunday is to share "marvellous mini milestones and super successes," as well as links to writing- or blogging-related articles or websites that might be helpful to your fellow writers, your plans and goals for your writing/blogging--in short, anything relevant to writing or blogging.
For Further Info About the Cafe, Visit Grow Your Writing Business
You may read more about Yvonne's new weekend gathering in her Writers and Bloggers Cafe--Now Open at Grow Your Writing Business post. (Also, check out Share Your Marvellous Mini Milestones and Super Successes, the post in which she first introduces the Writers and Bloggers Cafe.)

Pull up a chair, grab a muffin and a cup of coffee, and enjoy a great time of fellowship with other likeminded creative people, as you share your own goals, aspirations, and accomplishments, relate to, celebrate, and learn from theirs.
I think you'll enjoy it!

Another blog I ran across at BlogCave (via MyBlogLog), which looks as if it might prove pretty helpful to bloggers is called Blog Smart Resources. With posts on free backlink builder script, trackback tools, Blogsvertise, various social networking sites and different SEO tools, info on the 2007 Blogging to Fame Awards, and more, there's a great deal that's of interest to bloggers here.
If you're a blogger, you'll want to make it a point to visit this blog when you have a bit of time to check out the many resources it offers to help make your blogging experience an easier, happier, and more productive one.
Happy reading!

I've just discovered a blog that appears to have quite a bit of helpful information for avoiding internet scams of many different types. While browsing MyBlogLog, I decided to check out BlogCave and found this blog listed among the membership of that blogging community. It's a blog that could prove very beneficial to those of us who seek opportunities of various types online, so just thought I'd pass on the link to my readers.
The blog is called Scamtypes, and it covers such scams as Internet, Lottery, Work at Home, Charity, Link Trade, and Affiliate Marketing scams, as well as many other types of fraudulent activities. Click on over and take a look! The hide you save may be your own!
Stay safe!

While the first week of my two-week training for my new job as a clinician for Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes is proving to be pretty intense--and tiring!--I wanted to touch bases with my readers and give you another helpful link. This post will be short and sweet; but my hope is that you'll get a great deal of good from visiting this site and checking out the resources it has to offer.
WOW! Women On Writing is an e-zine aimed at women on all points of the writing-publishing spectrum. It's packed with articles, information, advice, and links, and its aim is "promoting the communication between women writers, authors, editors, agents, publishers, and readers."
Female freelancers and others whose goals may vary widely, yet whose main focus is the written word, can find a great deal of interest at this site--which appears to be a supportive network of female writing and publishing professionals. Check it out!
Happy Reading!
Jeanne
