Reintroduce Yourself Blogfest

This morning, Regina and I are participating in an online festival of networking!

 We are a new blog but we aren't new bloggers.  Both of us were proud members of Swagger Writers for almost two years before forging into the blogosphere alone (er, together) to create something we love.

 Regina is the mother of three beautiful girls, two of whom have cerebral palsy.  She mostly writes poetry these days but is also a wonderful novel writer!

 Juliet is a college professor, children's writer and also a mother of three.  She has a picture book, some short stories and a play published by various presses.  She also writes for the SCBWI-IL Prairie Wind and just handed revisions of a contemporary YA off to her agent.

 Please join us on this new journey by "following" our blog (left side of screen) or leave a comment below so that we can return the favor!

    Oh, I hope your agent loves your revisions! I'm an academic, too (though a researcher), so I feel your pain on time restraints... or maybe I feel my pain and just assume you have them too.

    Hi Hart! I definitely have time restraints and always feel guilty when I'm at one thing and not doing another. Right now, I am feeling guilty for responding to bloggers when I should be writing or revising manuscripts!

    So nice to meet you two! Fabulous name for the blog, by the way... great play on that ol mousey story, one of my favourites. I always liked the country mouse better, of course.

    Hello Ladies! It's great to re-meet you.
    Because you are two, it's probably easier to manage a blogging schedule ... there's always somebody to help carry the load!
    Good luck with your blogging journey!
