Marisa Wright's Responses
Marisa Wright One important thing to be aware of: if you're only going to publish one or two books, don't self-publish, even on KDP, because your book will likely sink without trace and make no sales at all. It is much, much harder to gain a following these days on...

Marisa Wright This is a good example of how American cuisine is different. For an Australian like me, your pizza is w-a-a-a-a-a-a-y too thick. I'm not sure if it's the dough base or the cheese, but I assume it's both. We'd have a lot less cheese and more other toppings,...

Marisa Wright I've only visited the US a few times. The main thing I noticed about the food was the portion size - twice the size of what you'd get in a British or Australian restaurant. We would order one meal to share and even then, it was often too much.

Many people...

Marisa Wright It's so frightening to see what is happening in the US. We were fortunate in Australia that all politicians, from all sides and in all states, supported the experts' advice. Given that, most people followed the rules.
As a result, we have no Covid in the...

Marisa Wright That looks great! One problem I have is that I've moved house so much, I've lost all the old bits and pieces you'd normally keep "just in case", so when it comes to a project like this, I don't have the raw materials lying around. I can't even find my tinsel,...

Marisa Wright I'm like you, I love any kind of dance, so long as it involves music. I used to dance ballet and jazz ballet, then flamenco for a while, and now I do belly dancing, ballroom, Latin and Ceroc.
Actually one of the reasons I gave up flamenco was that when I...

Marisa Wright From what I've seen so far, most internet sites are either scams or pay very, very little money. If you are willing to earn $1 or $2 an hour, by all means write for places like MyLot, Helium or HubPages but don't expect to make a living.
My best discovery...
