THE INDEX

Life is never a straight line! I worked for two of Canada's largest television networks for 15 years before launching my own international sales training company.

I wrote piles of articles, ezines and 2 quirky business books that attracted a ton of media, readers and business. Personal essays about life are my love so I took 10 years of writing classes, read a hundred writing books and wrote daily. Joy!

In 2016 I received a breast cancer diagnosis. After a year of treatment (and good-bye cancer!), I wrote my book, A Fine Mess, found a publisher, and it's an Amazon best-seller! I also decided to blow up my 18 year company and redirect all of my passion to writing, and helping women write.

Now I'm a full-time writer, author, and essayist; my work has been featured on NBC News, the Globe and Mail; and I'm a top writer for Medium.com.  I'm also a member of the Outdoor Writers of Canada.

I'm just getting started.  Because I want to help you write.

Hellooo! My name is Rosario Martínez, an enthusiastic human being looking for meaning in everything I do. If I could study everything, I would, but for now, I'm illustrating, writing, baking without following the recipe, and on my way to becoming a Life Coach! In love with kindness, books, wit, animals, etymology (nerd), hugs, creativity, nature, and rain.

Over 120 hours go into each issue of Scribbly.
These ladies are my dynamic duo!

Enjoy the simple PLEASURES.

my motto:

There's something about going for a daily walk that never fails to clear my head or lift my spirits. And my motto? Pick up two pieces of litter each time. Hmmm. I should get one of those old-lady-pokey-stick-thingys

YOU WALK

05. LIFE IS BETTER When

Homegrown tomatoes are my favorite! My little garden produces about a 100 lbs so I preserve many of them. The rest of the year? I won't eat a grocery store tomato. Ever.

I don't often buy new furniture, art or dishes as I'm such a believer of items with a story. I love mixing the old with new and in my family, we call thrifting: Adventure Shopping. Did I mention my singing bird clock?

03. I can't pass by 

I spend loads of time in the boreal forest and it is one of the joys of my life. I'm a forager and I've taken over 32 hours of classes on wild mushrooms alone.  I kid you not.

TO FORAGE

02.  I love 

I'm a breast cancer survivor.  I donate a percentage of my royalties for my book, A Fine Mess, as well as a percentage of each Scribbly, to help cancer patients who need financial assistance while undergoing treatment.
