This past weekend was a bit too hot for me – in the 90′s. Thank goodness it doesn’t happen often or regularly in this neck of the woods. Today it’s a respectable 68 with a high of 73 expected. That’s about perfect for me.

Anyway, lots of things happening lately and lots more coming so I wanted to drop by and let you know what to expect over the next several weeks on this blog. For starters, I’ve got some posts on various writing topics coming up as well as some basics on such things as business plans, marketing ideas, and other strategies.

I also want to announce that I’ll be updating my real estate book soon and the 2nd edition should be ready on Amazon.com by September (I hope). It usually take about 3 weeks from the final publishing phase before it’s available through the distributor and thus listed on Amazon. I’ll let you know when as soon as possible.

There will also be some web-related stuff available that you’ll get access to through the book. I’ll tell you more about that as well, as publication gets closer.

So, if you’re a writer or into real estate investing or know someone who is, keep an eye out here for updates. I’ll also be including some new free ebooks and other stuff. Oh – and Friday is, of course, Independence Day here in the US and I’ll be making some desktop backgrounds and other graphics for the occasion. When they’re ready, I’ll post them here for you to download free.

I have more but don’t want to overwhelm you so I’ll keep it short for now. And besides – the kids are outside playing in the sprinkler and I’ve got to go help my husband finish building the new gates for our driveway. Should be fun!

In the arena,

Many of you have seen my artwork in various places including my .Mac webpage, where I have a gallery of images I’ve created – most notably, the original Mandala collection. Feel free to stop by there and take a look at those if you haven’t already. And look for some additional designs coming very soon. Just remember, those images are copyrighted material and you may not download or use them without permission.

Recently, I’ve had several inquiries as to what I charge for designing logos, business cards and book covers. To date, I have not ever had that information on my websites (because each project is different) but I will be posting some very general guidelines as to pricing in the near future to help those seeking that information.

And along those same lines, I’ve had lots of questions regarding my writing services. I’m very pleased that the updated Write Point website will be completed very soon – it’s coming along nicely. Again, I’ve not had any pricing guidelines there but I will be adding some basic fees to that site as well.

There are also many new things coming for my Real Estate Investing adventures as well including a launch of the brand new paperback version of my Real Estate Research Basics book. So, keep your eye out for that. It promises to very exciting indeed! And I can’t wait to share it with you.

If there is something you’d like to see or you have any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to send me a note.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your day and I’ll talk to you again soon!

The good news is that now that my first REI book has come out in paperback form, I have some additional incentive to do something with the site. So, my ideas are being solidified and outlined into a tangible schedule that I will be implementing to get the site up and fully running. That’s my agenda for this weekend.

So, look for a post here next week when I’ve got everything set up. You’ll be able to find updates about all of my ongoing projects here, eventually.

Also coming next week will be some additional pages on this site about various aspects of my business. If you have any thoughts or ideas as to what that should entail, please drop me a note via email or post a comment right here.

By for now!

Since August 1, 2007 I’ve been working on The Thirty Day Challenge hosted by Ed Dale and Dan Raine. Now that it has ended, I’ll be working on this site as well as some of the sites I’ve been created during the challenge. Of course, I’ll still be freelancing and doing all the things I normally do, too.

School is starting next week for the kids and although we’ve homeschooled for the last 4 years, my oldest daughter who is entering 8th grade wants to go back to public school and as hard as the decision has been for my husband and I, I think we’re going to let her. I’m not sure about the younger kids, though. I think I’ll keep them home one more year and maybe send the oldest boy, who will be 5th grade next year, at that time. We’ll see how the 8th grader does this year.

Anyway, end of summer this weekend so we’re going to enjoy it!

Talk soon!

After several long weeks of soul-searching, I’ve decided to resign from the Real Estate business (other than writing about it or creating artwork for others in the profession) and focus on what really “lights my fire” – writing and design. Real Estate has been a wonderful career path for me and I have learned a lot in many areas including customer service, negotiation skills, and even writing skills. But the time has come for me to move on to do the work that is my life path – ultimately, that is to help others. The two mediums that best express that ideal for me are writing and design.

I will continue to provide relevant information on the REI industry as well as articles and such to help those now embarking down that path to make the most of the career they’ve chosen. It is a very lucrative career and I have enjoyed every moment of it. If it’s something you feel the desire to do, please, by all means – follow it and feel free to write me with questions you may have about foreclosure investing or investing in general. I will do my best, as always, to respond to them.

So – for now, though, stop listening to me ramble on and please go check out ASAdesign.

And then, come back here tomorrow for another Reading List.

Blessings,

Annie

PS – Here’s a taste of what you’ll find over at ASAdesign . . .

You’ll notice several tabs above. Each one contains a description of what I do and who I am – each of the “hats” I wear, if you will.

But what I wanted to point out to you right now is the Articles. Yes, they’re buried in there! And I do need to update them however, there are some really nice ones there right now. Perhaps you’ve forgotten about them or didn’t know they were there.

You can either click the “freelance” tab, then select the “my writing” link from the Subpages heading in the right sidebar and from there select “articles” or you can take this shortcut.

Hope you enjoy them! Please feel free to comment on them. And please feel free to check around the site and look at all the stuff here! Like I said earlier, you didn’t come here accident and there may be something within these pages that is just what you need right now.

Blessings,
Annie

It’s raining in Washington today. Good day for writing. Or curling up with a good book or
watching a movie.

Some time ago on my other blog, I wrote a series of posts on the Law of Attraction. With all the good things happening lately that just keep getting better and better, I think it’s time we explore that topic again. Now that we’re all moved and pretty much settled in to where I can concentrate on writing, coaching and real estate, I’ll start posting again as often as possible including the Lesson of the Week and Reading List. Also look for some new stuff coming soon! I’ve got lots of ideas I’m itching to get going.

Have a great weekend!

Blessings all ways,
Annie

You know, I must say, when I first heard all the hype about a certain marketing product named for a bug, I was skeptical and maybe even a little angry with all stuff coming into my email box about it. Man, it seemed like every 5 minutes, there were 10 or 12 new messages about it!

But when Mike Filsaime released the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript, I thought it would be my chance to take a “test drive” of the system. So, I bought it. And let me tell you what, I LOVE IT!

I’ve gotten so many ideas from this little book, I almost don’t know where to begin!

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on a brand new membership site for Real Estate Investors. And I’m pleased to announce we’ll be doing pre-launch this Thursday September 14, 2006.

You’ll be able to find articles, audios, eBooks and more all about REI. You’ll be able to network with other investors all across the country. Think of it as the MySpace for Real Estate.

Secondaly, I’ve decided to offer my research and deal transaction services to any investor who wants it. Until now, I’ve only offered this service to a handful of my friends but now everyone has the same opportunity.

And just what is that opportunity, Annie?

Well, I offer skiptracing services, paperwork services, and related admin and data entry. All you have to do is find the deals and negotiate with the seller. Then send me your package (i.e. – contracts etc) and I’ll handle the transaction from there.

Research is what I do best and that leaves you to do what you do best — find deals!

If you’re interested in this unique opportunity, please send me an email and we will discuss your business.

Ok – just to recap – watch for the pre-launch this Thursday September 14, 2006 of the all-new networking site only for RE professionals. Oh – by the way – there will be 4 membership levels — and you can join FREE!

• Bronze Level
• Silver Level
• Gold Level
• Platinum Level

So watch for our pre-launch coming 9.14.2006 and lock in your introductory price for one full year.

Thanks for your support! And for reading this blog!

Until next time, have a great week!

Blessings,
Annie

• I’ve become a featured expert author on ezinearticles.com! So far, there’s one article up there with many more coming this week. You can check it out by clicking the banner in the right sidebar.
• Don’t forget the Real Estate Research eBook is on sale now for a limited time. Get it before I raise the price back to $97. Simply click the realestate tab at the top of the page, then click on eBooks in the right sidebar. You can pay via PayPal using a credit/debit card, your balance funds or an e-check through your bank. There’s all kinds of bonuses within the eBook too.
• Reminder – I’m now accepting new coaching clients and I’ve decided to run a never-done-before special. Normally I charge $697 per month for two weekly 1 hour sessions for 4 weeks but if you act now, you can get it for only $467. Check out the coaching tab above for details then send me an email. I accept PayPal for it too but don’t have a buy now link up yet. I’ve never offered a special for coaching, so if you’ve been wanting to do it, NOW is THE TIME! The special likely won’t last long (probably less than a week). Hurry! Space fills up fast and I only have a handful of openings.

Those are the major announcements. I’ve got more but I don’t want to overwhelm you. Check back tonight for the rest.

Blessings always
And in all ways,
Annie
