What I’m reading: Gilian the Dreamer by Neil MunroWhat’s on the iPod: After the Gold by Neil Young Before I forget, I have a post up over at About Freelance Writing. Give it a look. The snow has come. I felt it the day before. You can just tell. The air is more static and…
Guest Post: The Magalog Market
What’s on the iPod: Darlin’ Do Not Fear by Brett Dennen When Copywriting Queen (my term for her) Eileen Coale said something in a comment here about magalogs, little did she know she wasn’t escaping with just a mere comment. I asked for more – and like the pro she is, she delivered. Thank you,…
Endings, Beginnings, and Other Stuff
What’s on the iPod: Summer Nights by Rascal Flatts I’m hating Blogger at the moment. I just typed out a nice long post, clicked Publish, and watched it disappear into oblivion.

Seven Deadly Freelance Sins
What’s on the iPod: Viva la Vida by Coldplay I’m fighting something. Not sure if it’s a cold, a flu, or some other ailment. Whatever it is, it has me tired by noon, my voice is feeling strained, and I’m congested. Here I thought it was all the loud singing I was doing on New…
Countering Bad News
What I’m reading: Gilian the Dreamer by Neil MunroWhat’s on the iPod: Restless Days by The Clarks My daughter received an interesting call last night. One of her professors – one of her favorites, in fact – called to ask a favor. It seems a student of hers has lodged a complaint about her to…
