But when I read those articles about it, I kind of liked the ideas, especially the one about having a 'theme tagline.'

To me, a repeated bio says "outdated." But then, I tend to not feel the way the majority does.

You say a lot with few words, which is perfect. I am not sure if the second sentence needs a word before writing- maybe She? I pasted it below with the word "she" in the second sentence so you could see if you like it. :) I also moved the last sentence of the first paragraph to the end of the bio- because it seemed like that could be another possibility. :)<br /><br />Here is a suggestion (all your words):<br />Janet remains a child at heart. She writes articles, poems, picture books and middle grade novels to touch the lives of children. She brings her thoughts, dreams and imagination to life – refusing to grow up. <br /><br />A mother of three grown boys, her and her husband live in picturesque West Virginia. They have a yard filled with apple trees, flowers, blackberry patches, blueberries, grapevines, birdhouses and bird feeders. When not outside enjoying nature, she sits at her desk and writes for children. Her inner child flows onto the paper.<br /><br />DMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363160316700035584.post-70220562671916822602013-05-16T12:39:25.342-04:002013-05-16T12:39:25.342-04:00Janet,
