What’s on the iPod: Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright Well, back to work today. After a nice week off with family and other relatives, I’m playing catch-up this week. One of the questions I hear a lot from new and struggling writers is “Where can I find clients?” If you know me, you know I’m not…

Since my kid and her husband moved out (just over a week ago), we have been working nonstop to paint bedrooms, a bathroom, clean carpets, and furnish the empty rooms because, you guessed it, another kid is moving in.
