While I’m off enjoying the sands of New Jersey, I’ve left you with some new haunts to check out. Here are some more I’ve found lately that I’m beginning to love. And you’ll find them as new residents on my blog roll: Gumbo Writer. Thanks to Angie for showing up here quite frequently lately. You’ve…
Pumping Up the Blog Roll
I’m out the rest of the week here – don’t fret. I’ve posted well in advance to keep from leaving you guys with nothing to do but work in the mornings. While I had some spare time, I went over my blog roll and did some housecleaning. I added some new blogs to the list….
On Days When Lori is a Big Old Dork
I had quite a week this week. I completed interviews and writing for a fantastic article on nurses with addictions. Handed it in on time and everything. Only….I’d contracted to write a story on drugs that combat addictions. Oy and vey! said this Irish chick. I spent the better part of Wednesday and Thursday fixing…
Now You’re Talking!
I can’t believe we’ve worn through 30 more days already! In keeping with my attempts to see what you like to read, I’m once again revisiting those topics that had you commenting most.

Amanda asked What About Your Writer’s Resolutions? and then she waited. Two of us commented. Not exactly total silence. It sure faired better than when I asked how…
Blog Love
Amy Derby has a neat post up about blog etiquette. I agree wholeheartedly with her assessment of reading/commenting on others’ blogs out of some skewed sense of reciprocation. Given the number of blogs I follow, that’s way too much time taken away from work I should be doing. Besides, not everyone has thoughts that inspire…

They’re Just Not That Into You
Rejection sucks. Losing sucks. Not knowing why can drive you completely out of your mind. So why worry? Because you’re human. Kudos to Anne Wayman for once again baring her soul about her being left off the Top Ten Blogs for Writers after occupying that list for two years. Anne stepped outside her own comfort…
Speak Up Already!
Know what the biggest problem in any company is, the largest obstacle to success and the primary cause of failed business, failed projects and failed earnings? Communication. You know it yourself – your biggest issues stem from either lack of communication, miscommunication, or misunderstandings surrounding communication. I know in my own career, I’ve watched large,…
