I am delighted to have Debra Eckerling with me today. You are quit a busy lady. How long you’ve been writing?

Thanks for having me, Dianne.  I’ve had a passion for writing since childhood. I believe that people don’t choose to be writers. Writing chooses you.

You are the founder of Write On!  Tell us about it.

Write On! Is a virtual writers support group for writers of all abilities, mediums, and specialties where they can take their project to the next level. The community also has a Facebook page where participants can post goals and share information with each other.

That sounds like a great place for all of us writers to be a part of.

The website also has Author Q&As a couple of times a week, Writing Contests, Expert Columns, and a monthly drawing for a Free iScript just for posting your goals.

You also do coaching and conduct workshops. How did you get started?

I’ve spent about 10 years getting writer’s groups started and doing workshops. I was a Community Events Coordinator at Barnes & Noble and a Production Editor at Publications International, Ltd. Our groups began meeting at B&N, and after 8 1/2 years in Santa Monica, CA, we now meet online on Blog Talk Radio. We have a great group of people—all ages, all specialties, all genres, and all levels of experience—with a lot of wonderful energy.

Our Next Meeting:
Wednesday, October 13, 8 pm PDT/11 pm EDT
Blog Talk Radio

I’d love to see you all there.

What is the October challenge on your website?

The October Write On! Challenge is a Tweeting Contest: Describe your blog in 140 characters or less. OnTwitter it is essential to get the most information out in the least amount of words. This challenge will help you hone that skill.
