About Karen

img_0202a Karen is a work-at-home mom to two teenage sons. She has been married to the same wonderful, patient, thoughtful and generous man for 19 years.

Karen is a web designer. She specializes in small business and school websites and is always ready to receive challenging projects. She’s been a webmaster for five years.

She also has a degree in Professional Writing though has been actively pursuing a career in creative writing.

Blogging Experience

Karen has been blogging for four years and has three blogs: Write From Karen (WFK), Write Anything (WA), and Fiction Fix (FF).

WFK is her personal journal and chronicles her life experiences.

WA is a collaborative fiction writing blog that encourages writers, of all experience levels, to interact and exercise their writing muscles.

FF is where she showcases her fiction. (Her fiction is often times racy and romantic, proceed with caution).

More About Karen

Karen is a soft-hearted, compassionate optimist who loves to help people. But she does have limitations and is quite flawed. She also gets quite impatient with people who choose to spend their time and energy lamenting on their situation as opposed to getting out there and doing something about it.

She is also fairly honest (or as honest as one can be on the Internet) with herself and her readers and quite often will not apologize for her opinions.

The first rule of writing is: “Always keep your audience in mind” and that’s exactly what she does. WFK contains snippets of her life, her writing and (hopefully) useful information for other parents out there. If readers stick around long enough, they will notice she keeps a certain “schedule” of sorts as far as what she posts. She respects her family and friends and will never post anything derogatory or offensive (she hopes).

Mission Statement:

The purpose behind WFK is to document Karen’s life. This blog is about her thoughts, her feelings, her experiences, and the occasional give away because Karen loves to give things away.

WFK is a WYSIWYG blog – what you see is what you get. Karen will not play head games, participate in Internet gossip and will not actively, or purposefully, hurt or belittle anyone. She has no desire to argue with people. In fact, it’s safe to say, she will rarely argue at all. She knows her mind and is not afraid to verbally express it.

She would like to openly thank everyone who visits, reads and comments. Her life is a little less lonely because of you.

    Ok, so where in the Ozarks are you? I grew up in Arkansas, though we’re now in sunny Florida.

    Blogging online, I was able to make friends with a few beautiful souls and I hope the list will grow on. That aside, I love what you’re doing here – the Write Anything stuff. It’s great to virtually meet the writers of the world.

    :]

    Chel: I’m in southwest Missouri – Springfield, to be exact. The third largest city in Missouri and the city everyone forgets about. *sigh*

    I have a friend who lived in Springfield for a time. And I’ve got another friend living in Springdale, Ark., and my husband and I had some fabulous trips to Eureka. You’re in a nice little corner of the world!
