Having a day off work to actually read blogs in their entirety was a luxury! The result: I’ve found some really neat posts that resonated with me. Hope you enjoy them, too. (Don’t hate me too badly – gas prices in the UK are USD$9.20 a gallon, and that’s considered a bargain.)
I don’t know why I hadn’t been to Peter Bowerman’s blog before, but I found this gem on sucky business writing skills and that we writers should capitalize on that. I’ve often pondered putting together corporate writing seminars, and why not? The image of the company is represented in its people. Companies need us to help get their execs up to par.
Writer’s Digest’s Maria Schneider asks the question: how is the recession affecting writers? Interesting point to ponder, and the responses are just as interesting. Leave your comments on how you’re doing.
My favorite Urban Muse brings up health insurance for freelancers. I’m fortunate that I have a spouse who provides this, but there was a time when I was without. Susan gives us links to resources that help us find coverage.
Anne Wayman’s post on cell phone etiquette made me laugh out loud – because I agree completely. Anne has identified exactly why I have a love/hate relationship with cell phones. If you can’t talk, don’t answer it just to say so. Instant connectivity is a convenience, not a requirement. Don’t get me started. :))
