Guest Post: Books or eBooks?
What’s on the iPod: Hypocritical Kiss by Jack White Wow. What a week. What a freaking busy week. I haven’t had so many projects at once in a few months, so it was a bit of a shock. I finished one project, have another nearly finished, and can probably toss together a third in just…

The 3 P’s of Writing Client Success
What’s on the iPod: Lonesome by Dr Dog Disjointed day yesterday — it started with an appointment that lasted until lunch time. I came home, got busy on a large project, but I was lacking steam. I pushed through and managed a few thousand words, but not the kind of progress I’d hoped for. Today…
