Happy Birthday A.A. Milne!

WinnieThePoohcover Today is the birthday of A.A. Milne, most well known as the author of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. If your only exposure to Winnie the Pooh is through the Disney franchise of books, movies and cartoons, you should run, not walk, to your nearest bookstore and pick up Winnie the Pooh and The House At Pooh Corner. The original stories are treasures of delicate characterization in the heartfelt yet nonsentimental tales of the childhood adventures of Christopher Robin and his menagerie of friends. I also celebrated Milne's birthday with an entry in the Thoughts Happen blog.

Milestone Birthdays for Moms in Western NY Family

WNYFJan09 This month a reprint of my article "Milestone Birthdays for Moms" appears in Western New York Family Magazine, and online at their newly launched web site in an online flip-the-page digital edition with embedded links. It's pretty cool looking, and since archived editions are saved on the web site, you can go back and look at previous issues long after they've left the newsstands. The article was originally published in San Diego Family Magazine.

The piece is available in digital format online. Click here for Western New York Family Magazine, select "Click Below for Our Digital Edition," then find the January '09 issue from the Archives button on the top left corner and go to page 23.

About Louise

  • Crafting a clean, concise, well-written piece that’s a perfect fit for its audience gets me jazzed; I love talking with people to find out what makes them tick, discovering what’s interesting about every place I go and every person I encounter.

    I deliver clean copy on time and give the same attention to detail to every piece — from 25-word profiles to in-depth features and case studies. I also have an obsession with hunting down and eliminating grammar, punctuation and usage errors and rewording confusing copy.

    I love making editors' jobs easier and giving clients exactly what they need—even if they can’t fully describe what that is just yet.

    Click the "Clips" link for my published work, and check the sidebar for a client list, useful references and links to all the ways to contact me—I'm active on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook, publish a personal blog called Thoughts Happen, and as my daughter will tell you, am on my computer All The Time.
