Mslexia – one for the ladies

Unfortunately, if you’re male, this article won’t mean much to you as it is about the writing magazine Mslexia. Its tag line is ‘For women who write’, so that should give you an idea why.
For the ladies out there who love to write, for pleasure, for money, for fun, for friends – for whatever reason – this magazine is bound to be a good read.

It has interviews with well known authors in almost every issue, from Jodie Picoult, to U A Fanthorpe and Margaret Atwood and also runs regular competitions for both published and unpublished writers in poetry and fiction.

There are tips on successful writing, by published writers themselves, and examples of authors’ drafting processes. There are competition winners, new poetry and prose, flash fiction and a comprehensive list of writing groups and events all over the country.

So, if you’re female and you enjoy both reading and writing, pick up a copy, check out the website or head to the library for back issues.

Excuse me,your life is waiting by Lynn Grabhorn

This book by Lynn Grabhorn is all about positive thinking and the law of attraction. She tells us how in her opinion we create everything that happens to us by the way we think, if you think negative all the time then you will get more negatives in your life. If you change the way you think and think positive then you create positive energies which attract positive things into your life.

Lynn tells us of the situations she’s faced in her life and how she was able to turn them around by practicing the law of attraction. She believes that if you really desire something in your life like money , love , a new job , a new car , anything at all really , if you think positive thoughts about it then it will find a way to come into your life. Just like the opposite, if you’re forever thinking about the lack of something e.g., I fed up of being poor , then you attract just that – more of being poor.

It’s a very inspiring book which gets you thinking about how you live your life . It’s easy to read and I loved the style of her writing. She’s very witty and has you laughing a lot. If you follow some of the advice she gives you will notice a difference in your life.
