Writing Hiatus...

For the last several months I have been on a "writing hiatus" because my family and I moved from Ohio to the state of Maine. I've been very busy working on renovations in our new Antique Cape. After the holidays I will trade in my paintbrush and hammer for my mouse and key pad.

I'm excited to share that during my move "Crying Bear: Yes, Bears Cry Sometimes Too" was released and is available on Amazon.com and other online bookstores. In Belfast, Maine it is available at Mr. Paperback for a limited-time.


Crying Bear: Yes, Bears Cry Sometimes Too by Virginia Wright

Description: Join this very adventurous little bear cub, as she wanders too far from the den in the snow covered mountains of Maine.

Just Write!

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Virginia Wright

Ever since I was a little girl you could find me with paper and pen in hand, writing poetry, haiku’s, and mostly writing anything that came to mind. I read a post recently that asked if being a writer was something you were born with or if you could be taught to be a writer? I personally think there are naturals in most everything we do in life. Some are born with a natural ability to sing, and when they take voice lessons can perfect and hone their craft. Others are born with an artistic ability, and over time their illustrations get better and better. But I also believe someone who has never drawn could pick up a paint brush, and begin creating, and if they create often, will get better and better at it. The same goes for writing, writing what you know is fun, but it might not necessarily pay. So then pencils must be sharpened, and research needs to be done, in order to write something outside of our comfort zone.

No matter what we do in life, I’ve found, there will always be competitors, and someone who is always trying to make it to the finish line before you do, and will occasionally!  All we can do, is do our best– write in a genre that we believe we would enjoy, and you guessed it…just write!

This Spring Plant a Flower Garden for the Honeybees

This Spring Plant a Flower Garden for the Honeybees

By Virginia Wright

http://www.virginiawright.com/

THE HONEYBEE- Isn’t it interesting to know, that the honeybee is the only insect that provides us with something that we can eat! That golden, sweet, healthy for us food called-- honey!  But with the disappearing honeybee population, our honey supplies are diminishing in the United States. This situation is called CCD or Colony Collapse Disorder; and researchers are trying to figure out reasons for honeybee disappearance.

You can help the honeybee population by planting a flower garden with flowers that grow in your local area that honeybees like. I will list a few that I know of that are great honeybee fodder when they are foraging for food.

* Zinnia's

* Aster

* Heather

* Black-Eyed Susan

* Cone Flower

No matter what type of flower plot you plant for your bees, don't use chemicals on your garden... this could be detrimental (harmful), to these much needed pollinator's.
