While it’s true there isn’t much on our forum at the moment, it’s also true that the more people use it the more contacts you can make and lets face it, contacts though not the only important aspect of business, are seriously helpful. They are what can get our foot in the door and not on the bottom of a slush pile.

We had a very nice article published about Mama Bear Productions in a small local paper. Nancy and I sat down with Lisanne and had a very nice time chatting in Ralph's "Pretty Good" Cafe. It's been very exciting being a local celebrity.

Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson, Creative Director of Mama Bear Productions here. Thought I'd share something I've just recently discovered and found incredibly and immediately helpful! A couple of months ago I sent an email to a friend saying that for the first time since I started writing I've been blessed with writer's block - oh yea. I explained to her that this seems like a weird block in that I've got some GREAT ideas and even parts of songs and stories but I don't seem to be able to develop them which is making me NUTS!

Mama Bear Productions would like to introduce you to Laurie Story Vela from LaurieStories. Laurie is a prolific author, illustrator, story teller and performer whose mission is to put the FUN back in literacy FUNdamentals!

Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson, Creative Director of Mama Bear Productions here. I know I've said this before, but some times things bear repeating! I am aware that some of you have concluded (due to Jolene's beautiful artwork) that Mama Bear Productions is only for littler children and their families. NOT so. "Family Centered " doesn't mean just for little ones, because as far as we know there are children of all ages in families and said children have all kinds of diverse interests.

Quite some time ago, Jolene wrote that we love cowboy songs (and we do!) and offered a reward to the first person to do a cool, original cowboy song with yodeling!

For the record, as I was having breakfast with my family and half listening to their discussion, something they said made me think of the old Hardy Boys series, which all of my boys enjoyed. To my knowledge there aren't any more modern adventure series for boys, especially where characters aren't "cool dudes" rather they are just plain, adventurous boys!

Good evening, Nancy Carey Johnson here for Mama Bear Productions. I've been doing some thinking about writing/creating - yeah I know, when don't I? But one of the things I've been thinking about is building skills. There are many who have ideas but never get started because of inertia OR because they can't stand the thoughts of their work not being an immediate success so why should they bother?
