What’s on the iPod: Steady, As She Goes by The Raconteurs Done. One project down, two to go. The big one is finished, the next smaller big one (how’s that for adjective overload?) is this morning’s job, and the two smaller ones will come this afternoon. I doubt I’ll finish the bigger of the projects,…

It’s Not Your Job
Yesterday was a good day. I’m waiting for some client work to come in, so I had time to work on a personal project and put in some quality time over at the About Writing Squared forum. Plus there was some sort of issue with one subscriber who couldn’t get in. Hopefully I cleared that…
Aspiring
What a weekend. There’s no way I could feel idle with all I managed, but somehow I had time to act like a slug. I read quite a bit, slept a little later, watched my guilty pleasures on Saturday morning (I’m an HGTV junkie), and enjoyed every minute. But I managed to vacuum, dust, clean…
Why Good Ideas Don’t Take Off
Because of our technical issues with PayPal last week, Anne and I have extended the deadline for our early registration discount. Sign up for our teleclass today and pay only $44.49.

Why It’s Okay to Be Alone All Day
What’s on the iPod: You Were Never There by Diego Garcia HOT day at the ball park! Not sure how hot, but when we got home our thermometer (the one in the shade) registered 87 degrees. But there was a nice breeze and I had a new Phillies hat, so we toughed it out. The…
Stuff I’ve Learned
What I’m reading: Sweet Thursday by John SteinbeckWhat’s on the iPod: Nothing. The car’s in the shop and the iPod is in the car. Why does it seem like I’m running through my days lately? Maybe because I am. I spent yesterday trying to get to phone interviews and doing everything else. But everything else…
Safe Versus Good
What’s on the iPod: Lola by The Kinks I’m glad I’m able to get a ton of stuff done in the mornings lately because my afternoon yesterday dissolved quickly. I was good until about two – then the plumber arrived. We had a small leak and a minor fiasco surrounding our water heater, its replacement,…
Monday Bits
What I’m reading: Inishfallen Fare Thee Well by Sean O’CaseyWhat’s on the iPod: Roll Away Your Stone by Mumford & Sons How was your weekend? We managed to get nothing done on Saturday (amen) thanks to heavy rains. Our trip to Macy’s for their sale proved to be the repeated thought of thousands of other…
The State of Freelance Mind
What I’m reading upstairs: Shopgirl by Steve MartinWhat’s on the iPod: Shut Up and Let Me Go by The Ting Tings I’m getting a late start this morning. I don’t know about the rest of you, but when the time changes, it always hits me on Tuesday – not Sunday or Monday. Weird. Beware the…
What to Call Yourself
What I’m reading: Justine by Lawrence DurrellWhat’s on the iPod: Swim Until You Can’t See Land by Frightened Rabbit Was Santa good to you? We had a great weekend filled with cooking, collaboration, stories, and laughter. Probably the most stress-free holiday yet. It didn’t start out that way with kids appearing (re-entry is toughest on…
