What’s on the iPod: Untitled by Eminem Happy MLK Day. Honor the man who effected change via peaceful methods. Remember the past in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Writerly Misconceptions
What’s on the iPod: Peaceful, Easy Feeling by the Eagles Great day yesterday. I managed to get a ton of project work done on top of organizing a graduation party for my youngest. I can take one area of my life being stressed, but not two at the same time. But I’ve made enough progress…
The Freelance Nevers
What’s on the iPod: Better Life by Keith Urban Wow. The last few days I went from running in place (and all around) to a dead stop. Amen. I can take a lot of work at once, but I can’t take multiple interruptions that make it tough to get a single thing done. Such was…

I dropped her and her boyfriend at the airport, then headed straight for 30th Street Station to pick up the stepson,…
Getting Back or Looking Back?
What’s on the iPod: Keeping Warm by We Were Promised Jetpacks I love the wisdom of the writing community. This little gem came from Chaos in the Country’s Nikki, who said about her career: ” In not wanting to look back, I realize that I do need to get back.” This from someone who found…
When the Rules Change
What’s on the iPod: Just Another Girl by Pete Yorn Interesting day yesterday. I had a conference call with my clients to clear up some projet inconsistencies, which went very well. I had just hung up the phone when an email came in on a project bid. The prospective client asked for an IM chat….
