Welcome to Writings of the Heart- Free Poetic Content & Writer's Resources.
Poetry is one of my passions, and I've decided to share much of it with you for your own personal use on websites, etc. If you decide to use one of my poems on your website, I simply ask that you give a link back to this site and proper credit, (me- grin) on your site. I'd be both humbled and honored if just one of my poems touched your heart. I’ve finally been published by Blue Mountain Arts! Oh, this was a long time waiting…I think that’s one of the most frustrating things about writing and submitting. Like the song goes, “the waiting is the hardest part.” However, I didn’t quit, kept submitting, (for years and still am to SPS Studios, the publisher of Blue Mountain Arts), and now have a greeting card in two of their lines called “I Whispered A Prayer Or Two For You”. What a FEELING! I haven’t seen what the second version of the card looks like, but when I get it, I’ll let you know. I was like a kid on Christmas morning when I found out about the first card…AND the second! My heart felt like it was in my throat.
Supporting women who have miscarriage through both my book and website is has become one of my most important life's mission. I felt SO alone and misunderstood some twenty years ago when I miscarried. So, I took I Never Held You to the next level by making the book much longer-(it was a short, successful ebook for over five years), by including many tools to heal and valuable contributions from people like Dr. Linda Backman, licensed Psychologist and Grief Counselor. (Thank YOU Linda!) I've been told that many of the healing techniques offered in I Never Held You help with anxiety attacks. I believe this is true because I'm a twenty-year veteran of panic and anxiety attacks, so the affirmations, suggested relaxation techniques, and so on, in I Never Held You spill from my life & into my book. After all, my miscarriage was a significant trigger to my anxiety attacks. Many stressful times in life are triggers to panic/anxiety.
(If you need support after miscarriage, click here and visit MiscarriageHelp.com- the companion support site to my book. It's free and there's no log in required ). Even if you haven't miscarried, I am confident my book, I Never Held You: Miscarriage, Grief, Healing and Recovery (Volume 1)
My work has been featured in numerous publications in the past five years both online and in print. Since I began writing, I have had the opportunity to be published in secular, gift and Christian books, and have written three books. Most recently, I've had the honor a greeting card being published by Blue Mountain Arts entitled, I Whispered A Prayer Or Two For You. It's doing quite well, and I feel blessed. There's a lot of meaning behind that card. I originally wrote the poem for a dear friend whose husband was ill. Sadly, he passed away. Almost a year to the date of his passing, I received a letter in the mail from Blue Mountain Arts . They'd selected the poem I'd written for my friend to be published as a greeting card! It serves as a memorial to my firend's husband, and shows how much I care for my friend.
A very interesting site, HowToDoThings.com, has published two of my articles. They are How To Help A Woman After A Miscarriage , and How To Keep Your Children's Piano Lesson On A Good Note .
If you have an area-or issue-specific idea for an article, I would love to share my experiences with your readers through my writing. My areas of expertise include: Miscarriage, inspirational and Christian poetry and essays, lyric and song writing, personalized poems, self-help articles more.

I wish you peace, calm, and the ability to know that your grief can be ‘gotten through’, your anxiety attacks CAN be brought under control or eliminated completely, and that you will feel like YOU again. Perhaps you’ll feel changed because you’ve grown. But, isn’t part of life change?
God Bless in all you do, Ellen (If you click on my name, it will bring you to my official author site).

Story Development and Outlining Software Committed to Freelancing
By: Bob Palmer
I've been a professional freelance for a number of years now, working as a copywriter, journalist and author. Like everyone, I struggled when I was starting out, and took a while to find my feet. But after a while, I figured out how to generate more work than I would ever need, and how to earn a very good living from freelancing - and have a great lifestyle, too. Best of all, I now have the freedom to spend more time with my wife Beverley, and watch our children (Ben, Sam, Joe and Jessica) grow up.
Over the years, I've worked with major corporations such as Microsoft, Coca-Cola and Compaq, as well as with startup businesses, non-profits and agencies of every size and description. Two of my books have been published successfully, and I have had the opportunity to work on everything from film scripts to hi-tech web sites. I feel privileged to have enjoyed a varied and challenging career that has really stretched my creative skills.
Nowadays, I'm in the fortunate position of being able to pick and choose the projects I take on. And that has allowed me to put aside enough time to create Freelance Work Exchange.
Why? Because it frustrates me to see so many talented people struggling to make a living online. There's plenty of work for all of us. If you have some skills and a genuine desire to build a successful freelance career, you have every chance of success.
I'm committed to helping you find work and make money. Of course, I can't promise to hand you work on a plate - but if you are committed to developing your career, you will be amazed at what you can achieve.
In the meantime, may I wish you every success with your freelance career.
