What I’d Rather Do
What’s on the iPod: Summer Sun by Jukebox the Ghost We’ve made it — it’s Friday. Don’t ask me why, but all day Wednesday I was under the impression it was Tuesday. I don’t suffer jet lag — I suffer life lag. It was a somewhat busy week, but not too bad. I was glad…

Freelance Truth: Being Worth More
What’s on the iPod: Untitled (Love Song) by Counting Crows A nice, unexpectedly slow day yesterday.

Bending Rules and Delivering Service
Wasn’t that a great Writers Worth celebration? I still have some posts, but I’m not around to get them up for you, so we’ll wait until I return. I’m still out of the office, but I couldn’t leave you without something to read, now could I? Thanks to my shoe-shopping habit, I had plenty of…

You have helped make this a fantastic movement of learning and sharing and encouragement (and butt kicking — can’t forget that!). May what you’ve written and commented inspire another writer to change…
