My Attention Is Split Today

Tomorrow I take off to visit my daughter. You’d think I was planning a trip around the world or something. I’ll only be gone two nights… and since I can use her shampoo and toothpaste, I’ll be carrying on a small bag. So packing isn’t a problem.

I Just Turned Down A Potential Ghostwriting Project

I just turned down a potential ghostwriting project. It’s hard to say exactly why, but from the initial contact with the possible client it just didn’t feel right.
