Some Great Writers I Would Like To Introduce You To
Unlike the last couple of years, this year seems to be picking up steam a lot faster and a lot sooner for me business-wise.
But every morning, rain or shine, I sit down and either write a new beBee post or repost an older on from LI, on which I am no longer what you would call 'active'.
I want to showcase the people who have been my personal favourites over the course of past few years. All of them have since migrated along with me, to the new Promised Land of beBee from the Lumpy Kingdom of The Mighty Hamsters.
These, of course are not the only people. Just the ones that came to mind immediately.
Also, while I’m at it, I’d like so give a shout-out out to some of the people, who, like me, are moving the work of good authors here and there to help them increase their exposure and build their networks.
1. Phil Friedman…my friend and part time partner in crime. His site WWACO…(World Wide Author’s Conspiracy) is a place where you can post a link to your Pulse blog page.
2. Paul Drury whose site, www.blogpoets.com does the same, linking your LI profile pic on his site to your Pulse inventory page.
3. Richard DiPilla, a LI Ambassador, who will forward a link to your LI Pulse posts out to his network of close to 60,000 readers. Richard is a cool and generous dude.
4. Javier Cámara Rica the CEO of beBee where I have already published 40 articles. beBee is already attracting thousands of writers from the Lumpy Kingdom and other places. There are already more than 10 million beBee members and that number is growing exponentially. And what's even better is these these people are both engaged and engaging.
5. Itai Leshem…whose work inspired myself and a lot of people to question the attitude of LinkedIn towards their independent writers and was one of the main reasons why many of us decided to migrate here in the first place.
So here are some of the peeps I love to read.
Phil Friedman
Phil and I have only known each other for about a year, but it feels like a lot longer. We talk by inmail almost every day. He and I have partnered on a series of posts in which we vigorously attack stupid stuff. These are called He Said He Said, and they are basically posts that we write in about a day and half trying to simulate a conversation in written form. We have both come to love it. Phil has one of the sharpest writer minds of anyone I have ever met. He is a professional writer like my but he works primarily in the boating industry. But his personal posts, which he publishes occasionally, are quite deep and full of well-expressed meaning and insight. This is one of my favorites.

Milos Djukic
Milos is a rare breed in that he is both an accomplished scientist and a true philosopher. I met Milos through the Unfluencer group over in the Lumpy Kingdom, and I marveled at the way he looks at the world. He has a definite talent for elevating ideas to an almost spiritual plane. And this is something that a lot of writers and would-be writers can appreciate and even aspire to.

Shelley Brown
Miss Shelley is one of my biggest fans and I am one of hers. She’s a Chicago girl who, like Donna Luisa (below), is very much a natural storyteller. She writes in a loose almost careless style that is quite disarming, and really draws you into her stories. Although we have never met personally, we have talked and I can tell that she is a little Energizer Bunny. You can feel the sparks fly off her writing and really sense the joy she takes in doing it. In that regard she is like a lot of the writers I have come to love in the Lumpy Kingdom. But in another, she is one-of-a-kind. I’m reposting this piece, because it’s a beautiful example of Shelley at her best.

Donna Luisa Eversley
Donna-Luisais a Caribbean lady who uses blogging as a means of personal expression. She is, by all accounts, a genuinely loving person. And it shows in her writing which always quite lyrical and poetic. She writes a lot about the emotions, and does so without ever becoming maudlin. Her work flows beautifully and is filled with genuine feeling on the issues she feels strongly about.
As The Story Says

John White
John is one of those guys, who like me, tries to keep things simple and flowing smoothly in his work. This particular post is one I like a lot because it has a good deal of wisdom and insight attached to it. John really understands the concept of networking and has managed to make it work for him, which puts him in a very small minority in the prfessional world. John is also the primo beBee North American Ambassador and has also just been awarded a column at Inc.com, which is pretty heavy duty in my book.

My hope here is that you will not just enjoy reading the posts I have linked here, but also start following these authors on beBee. Because we all know how much crap you have to wade through to get to the good stuff. This will help you cut out at least some of it.
Have a great week(end) …Jim.

Paul Drury. I'm not posting any more original material on LI either. But I am posting linked to my beBee posts on Pulse, until they cut me off.

Javier C\u00e1mara Rica...you may not be a writer, but you are a promoter of writers and you provide a place for writers to post. That's important.
