This is a guest post from an aspiring writer friend of mine named Cindy who is also writing a book.  I’m excited for the day when I get to review it here.  Until then, here’s Cindy with a guest post to help celebrate Mae Awareness Month.  Thanks Cindy, you’ll notice my email answering has slowed down again but I’ll soon catch up!

Having known Angela for a little under a year doesn’t really make me the best person
to tell anyone what she is like in real life. What I do know is that Angela is a great friend and a fun person to be around, if you’re not laughing at one point or another when you are around her there is something wrong with you.

She’s also one of those people that you can always count on, if there is ever
anything one of her friends needs help with Angela won’t hesitate to help.
Although sometimes you have to poke her and remind her that when you get an
e-mail it won’t hurt you to write back ^__^ (but then again, i got a subtle
poke not so long ago as well from Angela).

The thing that got us talking the first time we met was our shared love of writing.
Angela saw my mountain of disorganized papers, and when i told her about my
book we started talking about the pro’s and con’s of self-publishing. Now,
thanks to Angela and her son’s old computer, I have written more on my book
than ever, and I’m staying organized 😉

Writer, friend and Ferret lover; Angela is all that and more.
