Lisa HW

I'm a freelance- and contract- writer/researcher. My background (at least the part of it that directly relates to writing) includes newspaper experience, as well as corporate and various other projects on a freelance basis.

Newspaper experience includes straight news and weekly features.  I've spent several years studying/researching the subjects of child development,  education issues, learning problems, and giftedness in children - all for a long-term project.   Most recently, I've been writing articles and other material on assignment.   In my spare time I write for my own enjoyment,  which often means writing about family and social issues in an attempt to share any insight I think I may have picked up on my journey from there to here.  My HubPages writing (and writing featured on this profile) is that spare-time writing.    "Lisa's Children's Corner" is a collection of articles/essays (as well as some links to some expert sites that I respect) on a number of issues related to children.

About the Kind of Writing I Do on HubPages and Elsewhere Online

Psychology, values, and inspiration are among favorite areas of writing.  Other things I've written about include being a mother, becoming a mother through adoption, as well as the more conventional way; miscarriage, and motherhood in general.

Growing children, growing as a person, and staying young are among my writing areas of interest.  So are diet,fitness, women's issues, writing, aging, computers, and technology.

Love, relationships, marriage, divorce, and independence are areas in which I've written.  I've also written about loss and grief in response to requests for something on those subjects.  I'm nowhere near as serious a person as a lot of my Hubs would seem to suggest.    I dabble in light poetry here and there, as well as the occasional humor piece or two.  Home-buying, personal finance, and fashion are among subjects about which I've written. 

I'm pretty good with toddlers and pets.   I can be a worrier, and when I'm not worrying I've been known to wonder whether I should be worrying.  The safety and security of children are things I've written on.  I've imagined what I'd say to the world if I had 15 minutes of fame.  Speaking of the world, I'm both a belly-acher, and a dreamer. 

Since I'm an American, I've written about the 11 Federal Holidays, The U.S. Constitution, whether American kids are growing up too fast, and what may be the cause of the rise in childhood obesity.  The Plight of the American car is something else I've pondered.

As a part-time kid, I love Barbie dolls and Santa Claus .  As a most-of-the-time grown-up, I think stress is one of biggest health risks  so many people face

The topics listed above are among many of things I've written about, but (I shouldn't admit this) I'm not above just writing some giant, long-winded, Hub about pure foolishness.    One of these days I'll weed out the pure-foolishness Hubs, but for now they're still up.  I don't know...   sometimes you just have to relax and write something foolish just for fun.

In the "Incidental Other Info" Department

"Lisa's Collection"  is a site (blog, actually, but I'm reluctant to call it that as yet, no matter how long it's been there on that back burner) that's a central point for many of my spare-time writing endeavors, most of which (regardless of volume) remain very much in a state of being organized, sorted, and re-thought.

Facebook (Lisa H. Warren)  -  I.don't do much with it but can be reached through it.

I'm also Lisa Marie Warren on HubPages (as of a recent decision to separate some types of writing from others).

"Writing isn't always about just getting the words down, or out, or even read. It is about pulling from the universe just the right number and combination of words and allowing them to join hands to come to life."
