Women's History Month - Literary Fiction Newsletter

Hi there!

Happy Mother's day to the mothers celebrating this day in their countries today - UK, Ireland, and Nigeria -, and Happy Women's History month to every woman all around the world!

March 8th was International Women's day, a day when the whole world got to acknowledge and celebrate women for their strength and determination in fighting tooth and nail for equality and respect in every aspect of life. On this day, women are recognized for their achievements and breakthroughs; political rallies, conferences and theatrical performances are held worldwide in honor of this day.

And so for the rest of this month, the Literary Fiction site will feature articles that celebrate women authors who have come a long way in their writing careers, and we'll discuss the female characters that exhibit the passionate and enduring strength of a real-life woman.

Here's the latest article from the Literary Fiction site at BellaOnline.com.

Top Literary Heroines - Classic and Contemporary
This article celebrates the ordinary, yet extra-ordinary, strong female characters in literary fiction who have exhibited incredible strength and valor in their personalities and characteristics. Read on for more!

Let's make a commitment today, that for the rest of this month (and hopefully onwards) we'll go out of our way to make a woman -either one in our lives, or one we happen to come across- feel special, heard, loved, respected. Whether it's your mother, girlfriend/wife, sister, daughter, best friend, grandmother, work colleague, stranger on the bus/train...buy her flowers, go to the grocery store for her, offer her your seat on the train, give her a ride, pay her phone bill for the month...take your pick on the list of things you can do for her, and make her smile! Let's do it, and let's feel good doing it. This week, this month.

Doing Your Research - Literary Fiction Newsletter

Hi there!

Here's the latest article from the Literary Fiction site at BellaOnline.com.

Literary Writing - Doing Your Research
How important is research when writing a literary work of fiction? How necessary is it even when the unfinished literary work is not 'history-based'? This article provides answers to some lingering questions!

http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art58568.asp/zzz


QUOTE FOR THE WEEK

"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be."
--- Abraham Harold Maslow


AUTHOR BIRTHDAYS MARCH 3-MARCH 10

March 6 - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
March 6 - Elizabeth Barrett Browning
March 8 - Kenneth Grahame
March 8 - Jeffrey Eugenides
March 9 - Keri Hulme


EDITOR RANDOM FUN ACTIVITY

Let's talk about -and participate in- some research this week. When you get the time, think about whatever event or place or anything you've wondered about but never got clear answers or facts on. Maybe you're curious about a particular country, culture, food, product, whatever it could be...and you've heard various (perhaps controversial) views on it, and thus you don't quite know where you stand regarding it. Well, why don't you make some effort to find out this week...'Google' it up (this seems to be the fastest way to get information in this era, as opposed to walking up to a local library) and aim to get an accurate, unbiased description of whatever it is you'd like to know more about. We can never be too old or too accomplished to learn new things! So, let's do some research. This week. You'll be glad you did.

Thank you for visiting LiteraryFiction.bellaonline.com; please do visit again for more great content about Literary Fiction. Have fun passing this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge :)

Have a lovely week ahead!
