I eagerly read bios because I want to know the background of the writer or whatever their profession because I enjoy finding a connection with people I meet or understanding those long passed. Should I mention in mine I was the CFA cow? 😊Daphne Woodallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826988782272886773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-38207980431575872522020-09-25T17:01:52.355-04:002020-09-25T17:01:52.355-04:00You will one day, Deena, and now you’Ll be ready! ...You will one day, Deena, and now you’Ll be ready!

If you're like me, you write for many different publications, but probably concentrate on a few major subjects. Once you create a marvelous bio for each major area (trade journals, grandparenting, culture, etc., you can cut and paste with minor alterations. WAY easier than creating one from scratch every single time.
