What’s on the iPod: Backwards Walk by Frightened Rabbit
It’s usually against my nature to be a joiner of trends. However, this one I can’t resist because it reflects what you are interested in seeing here. It’s the most-commented on blog postings here on this little blog. These things got you talking.
Common themes:
If it’s about Demand Studios or any low-paying job, your passions were quite evident.
You seem to like my random brain dumps.
My misery indeed attracts company.
Feel free to add your comments to these older posts if you feel inclined, or just leave comments here.
If Freelancers Worked Like This Apparently shipping rates and lack of service are enough to make anyone go, well, postal. This was the most-commented-on post this year.
Totally Random Thoughts Proof of your passion over the content mill debate. I mentioned it. A debate followed.
Up for Bid Wow. You really don’t like bidding sites, either. And people who appear to have sold out also earned your anger.
Is Mediocrity the New Benchmark? Oh, how we hate grammar gaffes and typos! But we’re much more forgiving on blogs, amen.
Just Call Me Hooka Again, mention content mills in any form (in this case someone defending them staunchly) and we can’t help ourselves. We have to set the record straight.
Beyond Demand On hearing the news that content generator Demand Studios was losing money, I gave suggestions to those still working for them on how to transition to another job. But the mere mention of the company raised the discussion to some great levels.
Monthly Assessment: November 2010 Apparently, my career misery had you commenting both support and your success stories. Amen. I’m glad some of us had a good November.
Freelance Screw-offs We don’t like a screw-off, let alone a freelancer who takes the low road. It was a fun thread, even with one anonymous commenter who wasn’t too positive.
Why Your Writing Blog Sucks The tips came pouring in for bloggers – here’s a comprehensive list of what readers do – and don’t – want to see.
What blog posts (on any blog) stayed with you?
Every one of your blog posts is unique and memorable in some way. That's why you're so good at what you do!
You're sweet to say that, Devon. Thank you. 🙂
Devon's right (as usual). If I had to single something out, I'd say your posts about Ireland were beautiful and memorable.
Thanks, Paula. I wasn't fishing for compliments, but I'll take that one. 🙂
Just call me Hooka is a classic in my book. The post was good, but what inspired it was even better.
Geez, if being motivated to do something with your career makes you a high-class escort, then we should all put on our glitzy outfits and walk the streets.
LOL! Wendy, I think it was one of my favorites, too. I had fun writing it. 🙂
