I am on Submittable, trying to get my name out there. Anyway, I need a decent bio for most submissions. This is what I have and it reads like crap. Critique the heck out of please. I have thick skin, so don't worry about hurting my feelings. My name is First-Name Last-Name and I am a mother of three tenacious boys. I have dreamed of being a writer my entire life, often creating nonsense stories as a young child to actually learning the craft as a teen and now fine tuning it. While it is true that I write, therefore, I am a writer, to see my work published—chosen—would be absolutely amazing. Not only would this validate all the work I have put into honing my craft (I am still, and forever will, be honing and learning), but it would also be something I could show my boys. To teach them that dreams can come true if you work hard for something. |
Normally, one must seek out Trinkets in order to collect them (and, to be completely transparent, applicable offerings were made available in the Community Newsfeed). However...when I saw that your NaNo Counter indicated nearly 37% completion - on Day One! - I just had to send you this: . WOW - way to go! |
I don't know who did it or why, but someone gifted me a 6 month membership anonymously. I just want to thank you. You will never know how much I appreciate it! Thank you so very much! |
"Despite being the mother of three tenacious? (why tenacious and how is it relevant?) boys, I write regularly (daily? if so say so). I'm looking to get published because I believe my writing deserves a wider audience. Generally I produce.... (short stories - poetry - articles whatever it is that is relevant here) with an average word count of xxxxx I'd describe my style as...
If I was published, it would also be something I could show my boys. To teach them that dreams can come true if you work hard enough."
Hope this helps a little - please ignore anything or all of it as required.
