It's just knowing how much to add or take away and what are the most important things that should be in one's bio.

(More so than synopsis!) I have a hard time determining what is important enough to mention (aside from contests). Plus, I never know if I should write them in first or third person (I've read both suggestions). Fortunately, agents don't seem to request them very often :-)Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848249911635132594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266371808927804670.post-32236527885868521842012-05-07T14:01:15.198-06:002012-05-07T14:01:15.198-06:00Ditto Sister Mary, Mary.

You're awesome and you are such an integral part to the Sisterhood that I don't know how we'd manage without you!<br /><br />And thanks for your kind words as to the bio. I just wanted to give some ideas other aspiring writers hadn't thought of when it comes to creating a bio. I hope I've helped others in some small way!Mary Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429769115085903305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266371808927804670.post-42187586874718393672012-05-07T13:11:24.763-06:002012-05-07T13:11:24.763-06:00Thank you, mooderino!

It's an award given by a state-sponsored program and goes to those who work in any form of press or media that enhances the awareness of the state, in this case, New Mexico. There are categories for photography, magazine articles, media outlets, blogs, etc. We did qualify to go on to the National Press Women's awards, but there are extra fees involved for entering and we just couldn't afford that at this time.<br /><br />Thanks for your encouraging words!Mary Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429769115085903305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266371808927804670.post-61923102791387336782012-05-07T06:47:33.627-06:002012-05-07T06:47:33.627-06:00I am terrible proud of belonging to the Sisterhood...I am terrible proud of belonging to the Sisterhood and have no words to express the joy (and gratitude) about the Award. But it doesn´t surprise me, any project that involves such talented, hard working ladies as my sisters is bound to get recognizition. Thanks for the bio tips, but I don´t know why you have trouble writing your bio. You have enough to fill two pages, so much experience!
