My New Writing Endeavor

[Lakota Wiyan]

I'm the new Native American editor at BellaOnline. It's got me kinda wound up in training right now, but I'm totally freakin out cause this is an excellent opportunity for me get my writing out there. This could potentially lead to e-books and other writing gigs, as well as speaking and presentations locally and around the country. I'm just getting started, so please go check me out!

i read 'referring' and 'skins review'... wow..youre an excellent writer...better than some ive seen... at least you have good speeling... some people have articles and they get facts wrong...and spelling.... at the most youre professional imformative and not boring... keep up the good work

Very good writing! I enjoyed your reviews. They didn't just summarize the original content, they added to it. It gave each piece a context and you personalized it with your own point of view and experiences.

But the articles aren't dated. Which has me wondering - how often are new features added? [I know you just started (from your post), but are you adding content daily/weekly/as time permits?]

And ... does the RSS feed contain only your site or the entire BellaOnline feed?

Good job! I laughed inside a little cuz I could see some of the things you were writing about. I bookmarked the site so I can keep up with your work.

The Entire BellaOnline feed! Man there are some great sites there! General topics to very detailed ones. Its pretty amazing, the contributors they have found. They are always looking for more editors in other topics, so if you know anyone interested, let them know.

The articles aren't dated as requested by the "Chiefs", simply because BellaOnline is searched by topic, so they want the articles to be rather timeless. The newsletters are weekly, and I post a new article every Tuesday or Wednesday, with the newsletters going on on Sundays.

I really appreciate your comments, you dont know HOW much the support from THIS particular group of people means to me. You guys are the best, and I totally value your opinions, probably more than most. SO thanks to all of you!!! Lila Woplia

no need to be brutal

All my encouragement to you right now! There are different levels to your writing that can be enjoyed by Native and non-Native readers alike. There is enough there for people who do not understand and plenty for people who do. You invite everyone in. Very well done!
