Date Night Anyone?

My humor piece, Chasing Date Night sort of started everything for me. I entered it into a contest at a writer’s conference in 2006 and placed 3rd. That gave me wild confidence. Chasing Date Night was the first thing I published online at the old whoisisabella, and the first After the Bubbly column to run in Peekaboo magazine.

It’s gotten so much positive feedback that I’ve been asked to launch a new column all about how to have great date night. Ack! Does anyone out there have some great ideas for date night? I’m begging y’all to tell me things that have and have not worked for you. Also, I’d love to know what stupid date night advice drives you nuts. And, on a more specific note – if you have any suggestions for great lunch date restaurants in NWA, please let me know!

Thanks in advance for all your brilliant comments!

I want to introduce you all to a wonderful writer. Christina Cedeno is going to be big one day, mark my words. She wrote Paris Romance on the old WhoIsIsabella and continues to write a blog by the same name. Christina writes about being a young mother, artist, and now she’s going through a divorce and writing about that too. She’s brutally honest and while some of her writing might make you uncomfortable, it always makes you feel something. To me that’s the mark of a great writer. Christina inspires me and makes me wish I’d started writing at her age.

I hope you’ll check her out because us writers need all the encouragement we can get. She also takes pretty pictures and writes for Inked, tat culture online magazine.
