[stylist] Thea, New Kid

I'm a stay at home mom, and I love it. I am sad about my kids growing
up. My son is just so cute right now, and with temper-tantrums,
fussiness and off sleep schedules, I love spending time with them
nonetheless.

Ah, four and five are such precious ages ... especially when they're 
sleeping. LOL
Seriously, though, I had a rapport with my daughter ever since she was
born 
that I was not able to achieve with my son.
I guess I'm just a girl's girl.

I also have a part-time 4-year-old. A niece, but since she was born,
we've literally had her every weekend. Long story, but I essentially
have two kids, so yeah, writing is difficult to find time for. I barely
squeeze in exercise, though this can be done with the kids as can
chores. But writing, near impossible. One day...

I have an almost 18-year-old son, but I remember when he was 18 months.
At that time, I had a four-month-old daughter as well. I remember what
it's like. You don't have time to spit, much less write. Thea

Thea,

Welcome to the list.

I'm sorry you've experienced difficulties with websites. Unfortunately
this happens, and there's not always a solution. Hopefully someone here
can answer your question.

I have a degree in creative writing. My published work has been
nonfiction, but I also write fiction. I have an 18-month-old son, so I
don't have much time for writing right now. I also am senior editor for
Slate & Style, NFB Writers' magazine.

I write creative nonfiction, which is memoir and personal essay writing.
I write all kinds of fiction but love fantasy. Most recently, I had an
essay published in an anthology, 13th Floor.

I'm also an avid, voracious reader. I read pretty much everything from
fantasy to academic papers to literary fiction to history. I just love
the written word, smile.

Welcome, again, and I hope to see you around on the list.

Bridgit

Hi, everyone.
I'm Thea, I just joined the list, and I write all kinds of stuff:
fiction, nonfiction, and fan fiction. I guess that about covers it, eh?
I used to publish articles and short stories on www.triond.com but they
require an image with each submission. I had sighted help for a while,
but once the sighted help disappeared, I found I could not use this site
because of its image requirement. It's not a Captcha I have to fill in.
This site requires, along with the article, your selection of a
category, which you can choose from a combo box: health, news, politics,
women ... Then after the body of your article, you add tags. Let's say
you've chosen "women". Your tags could be birth control, birth control
devices, IUD, etc. Then there's a question mark where a chosen image
should go. You hit the "get image suggestions" button, and images are
supposed to present themselves. At this time, you have to be able to see
the image and drag it to the question mark. Last but not least, you have
to check the box that says you are the original creator of this work,
and click submit. Piece o' cake ... if you can see. Has anyone ever
tried or found some way around this difficulty? The site is
www.triond.com My emails to them about this barrier have netted me no
response. The site is free, and supposedly, you can create a following,
if you're prolific enough, and you can earn money, be it ever so small.
I don't mind that. I DO mind this inaccessibility, and the company's
apparent lack of interest. Anyone ever tried this www.triond.com While I
had sighted help, I published articles and stories, so I have a small
portfolio if you like. Now the sighted help is gone, and I'm stuck. Any
help appreciated, Thea _______________________________________________
