When Looks Matter
Great weekend again. Too short, of course, but we packed a lot into two and a half days. First the stepdaughter’s birthday party Friday night, which was a lot of fun. Then we spent Saturday going in different directions as he was tied up with her wedding planning and I was busy trying to sort…

Friday Fun and Frolick
Let’s just say I’ve worked myself sick this week (and have the nasal congestion to prove it), so I think today’s a good day to slow it down a little. I have some projects to complete, but I’m waiting on a few return calls, so things are stalled until that happens. I fully intend to…

My Business, Your Business

The Résumé Debate
Yet another busy day yesterday. I tweaked an article, interviewed for another one, organized a few more details for another client, and started a template for an ongoing project. And I marketed. Always that. I did have time to hit the forums and the blogs. I’m seeing this prevailing theme among writers – “You don’t…
