What’s on the iPod: Statesboro Blues by The Allman Brothers Yesterday was slow, but I got more accomplished than I thought. I managed everything on the to-do list, plus I had some time to work on personal projects and a little marketing. A day without marketing is like a day without work. Has Google figured…
Weekend Recovery
What’s on the iPod: Cinderella Man by Eminem It’s cold in the east, even by western Pennsylvania standards. I looked at the thermometer – 4 degrees. Plus there’s a little wind. Ouch. Welcome to January. I’m used to it after years of living west of Harrisburg, but for this area, it’s unusual. I usually have…
Stupid Clauses and Clients Who Push Them
What’s on the iPod: Something Good This Way Comes by Jakob Dylan It’s amazing how much you can accomplish when you feel lots of tight deadlines coming down on you. By noon yesterday, I’d completed three projects and started on a fourth. I spent the afternoon going over contracts and yes, marketing. Just because things…
Overeaters Anonymous, Here I Come
What’s on the iPod: Better Together by Jack Johnson Remember my sitting idle in November and December? Remember my wondering where all the clients were? I wasn’t worried – well, yes, I guess I was. I figured they’d be back, but I was eager to see them back sooner rather than later. Well, in true…

If the best laid schemes indeed “Gang aft agley”, that was yesterday. Try as I might, I couldn’t get beyond one project, which quickly morphed into three….
Monday, Monday
What’s on the iPod: Untitled by Eminem Happy MLK Day. Honor the man who effected change via peaceful methods. Remember the past in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes. The weekend was busy and wonderful. We traveled back home to western PA for my daughter’s graduation party. The trip was blessedly dry – no…

Writerly Misconceptions
What’s on the iPod: Peaceful, Easy Feeling by the Eagles Great day yesterday. I managed to get a ton of project work done on top of organizing a graduation party for my youngest. I can take one area of my life being stressed, but not two at the same time. But I’ve made enough progress…
The Freelance Nevers
What’s on the iPod: Better Life by Keith Urban Wow. The last few days I went from running in place (and all around) to a dead stop. Amen. I can take a lot of work at once, but I can’t take multiple interruptions that make it tough to get a single thing done. Such was…
