When I was an “aspiring writer” I imagined writing as a solitary endeavor. That image in my
mind has changed from pecking away at a clacking typewriter to the quiet
whispering clicky-click of a laptop. But the image of the tousled-haired hermit bent over a desk has continued in my mind.
Since discovering the Squidoo community, I am learning that
writing does not have to be a solitary thing.
Sure, I can’t chat away while doing the actual writing of a piece, but I
know that my fellow Squidoo writers are only an instant message or email
away. It’s an amazing feeling to have
all of this support while writing. I highly recommend that writers join the Squidoo community.
While I currently hold the title of Mid-Atlantic States Travel contributor on Squidoo, there are plenty of other writers who write
amazing lenses about the area. While it’s hard to know exactly where to start,
I’d like to share a few of these remarkable lenses with you today.
I’d like to introduce you to Ramkitten on Squidoo.
She is also known as Deb Kingsbury and is a hiking expert.
I have been interested about the Appalachian Trail and have read a
variety of articles and books about the subject over the years. Some weren’t
helpful and some were helpful but weren’t very entertaining. Ramkitten gives information with a sense of
humor that makes me laugh out loud for real.
I especially like her descriptions and humor in her lens Hiking the Appalachian Trail: What You Really Need to Know.
While lighthouses are not limited to the mid-Atlantic region,
you can find Chesapeake Lighthouses by mbgphoto on Squidoo. I had a hard
time choosing just one of her lenses to share because she is an
accomplished writer and photographer. All of her lenses are beautiful..

Squidoo made me feel like a very happy writer when she jumped on my Review Your Favorite Assateague and Chincoteague Island Items and did a wonderful book
review of Aassateague Island of the Wild Ponies. If you like wild ponies, you should definitely check out this book review.
Speaking of Chincoteague, I am hosting a Misty of
Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry book giveaway at my blog to help celebrate the magic of the
islands. You can enter by filing out the raffle form on my blog until March 14th.
Until next Monday, happy and safe travels to you all.
