What's a Bio?

New hurdle in my writing career. Now that I have something being published in a book, I have to write a 40-50 word bio. What in the world do I say that will attract other writers, editors, maybe even a publisher to my blog or to contact me for more writing opportunities? For one thing, that's not many words to use. I have been reading other bio's and am simply not inspired. How do I say I am a great writer when I really don't know yet? What is the right balance of self promotion and humility? Any ideas?

Closing today's blog with a great quote from William Wordsworth, "Fill your pages with the breathings of your heart."

Happy writing!
