As is the
case with many retired Americans, Rose Mula's guilty pleasures include
television sitcoms and computerized Free Cell solitaire and Hearts; but please
don't envision her rocking her days away with a dainty crocheted afghan neatly
tucked around her lap. Never one to shy away from a creative challenge, Mula has
kicked the next phase of her life into high gear with a successful career as a
writer.
Rose Mula's
formal corporate experiences include duties as a public relations specialist for
Sonesta International Hotels and operations manager for Chateau De Ville
Productions, a New England dinner-theater chain. Mula's keen style of personal
observation flourished while she honed her communication skills, writing press
releases, advertising copy, brochures, A/V scripts, newsletters, and a variety
of other collateral materials. Marshaling her considerable talents and expertise
in the field of communications, Mula operated her own freelance copywriting
agency, The Write Connection, for ten years.
Writing is
her greatest motivator. She looks forward to creating something new every day
just for the sheer joy of creation. Blessed with a “glass is half full/lighten
up” disposition, Mula has written If These Are Laugh Lines, I'm Having Way
Too Much Fun, a collection of humorous essays about the
inevitability of aging, the frustrations of dealing with voice mail menus, the
generation gap, challenges of the computer age, and almost everything else that
annoys or gratifies us, no matter how old or young we are.
A resident of
Andover for the past ten years, Mula was born and raised in Waltham,
Massachusetts, and is a graduate of Boston University. She has written business
and trade articles and her work has appeared in the Saturday Evening Post,
Yankee, Modern Maturity, The Christian Science Monitor,
Readers' Digest, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Miami
Herald, and more than one hundred other magazines and newspapers. She also
writes a monthly column for seniorwomen.com. A confirmed day person, Mula enjoys
walking, reading, dining out, movies, and theatre with friends and family. A
competitive game of Scrabble relaxes her. |
