What’s on the iPod: The Last Wine of Winter by Chris Bathgate Last week we touched on advice. I’d had that encounter with a writer not long ago where asked-for advice was met with some heavy resistance and “I know how to do that.” Weird reaction to someone answering your question, but some people cannot…
Random Holiday Tidbits
What’s on the iPod: Into the Mystic by Van Morrison We woke up yesterday morning to about 6 inches of snow, more or less. Unlike the city to our east, we were spared the remaining 12 inches. Not that it makes me happy to say that – I love snow from the first flake right…
What to Call Yourself
What I’m reading: Justine by Lawrence DurrellWhat’s on the iPod: Swim Until You Can’t See Land by Frightened Rabbit Was Santa good to you? We had a great weekend filled with cooking, collaboration, stories, and laughter. Probably the most stress-free holiday yet. It didn’t start out that way with kids appearing (re-entry is toughest on…
Season’s Blessings
What’s on the iPod: Oh! Holy Night by Perry Como May you enjoy the holiday season with family, friends, and all you meet. And may you avoid those Grinch-like feelings. Happy holidays, everyone.
Don’t Ask, Do Tell
What’s on the iPod: 4th of July by Steven Kellogg and the Sixers Yesterday being a fractured work day, I expect today to be utterly boring. I want to try contacting these associations that keep ignoring my emails. I need one more quote for an article and I don’t want to have to think about…
Late Starts
What I’m reading: Justine by Lawrence DurrellWhat’s on the iPod: One Last Drink by Enter the Haggis Late start today. I went for tea this morning with a friend, then as I came through the door, he pulled me back out to go shopping with him. Then back here to put the final touches on…
Bragging Rights
What’s on the iPod: Rocking by Roger Whitacker Today’s my first day typing with the fingerless gloves this year. Not that I haven’t needed them all this month – it’s been in the 20s during the day. But today is the first my hands are feeling it. So back to getting used to typing with…
If Freelancers Worked Like This….
What I’m reading: Gilian the Dreamer by Neil MunroWhat’s probably on the iPod: Mary’s Boy Child by Harry Bellafonte By the time you read this, my daughter will be a day-old college graduate. 🙂 I’m driving back home with her today, so I’m not around to comment until possibly tomorrow. I hope you’re enjoying a…
Procrastination and the Freelancer
What I’m still reading: Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris (almost finished)What’s on the iPod: Winter Winds by Mumford & Sons I have a post up over at About Freelance Writing. If you get a chance, give Anne some traffic and leave some comment love. I’m about to admit something I can hardly…
Bread Crumbs
What’s on the iPod: Sea of No Cares by Great Big Sea Super day yesterday. I accomplished much more than I thought I would, and I still had time left over at the end of the day to relax. That’s almost unheard of – time to relax in December. I had my shopping done five…
