Thanks to Jennifer Hoffman who pointed out a NY Times article called: In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop.
Part of the story involves a couple of tech bloggers who may have died because they were so focused on their blogs they forgot to eat, exercise or otherwise take any sort of […]
Am I the only one who remembers The Mikado, a light opera by Gilbert and Sullivan? Probably not, but when I saw The Golden Pencil is on yet another list, the song, “I’ve Got A Little List” came to mind.
This time the list is from (on?) The Writers Resource Center and John has posted March […]
Stumbled onto (into… what’s proper when speaking of a blog or a web page?) a blog called Men With Pens. Nifty blog about writing and life in general. There are sections on fiction writing, running a writing or other business, blogging, design and one called “Way off Topic.”
I particularly liked Are You Charging What You’re […]
No clue why, but this morning I don’t seem to have a single idea for a blog in my head… except this one. You know, the old write-about-the-idea-of-having no-ideas trick. All professional writers can come up with this one when they get well and truly stuck.
And why am I mostly idea less this morning? Who […]
D**n! It happened again. I had almost completed a post here and did something funny on the keyboard and wham! It’s all gone! Okay, I know. Most would tell me I shouldn’t draft directly in WordPress, but I do because it’s fast. At least it’s fast if I don’t lose the post. And sure, I […]
Writing skills have a fairly predictable path. In the beginning we’re really not good at it. Oh we can get words on paper and our sentences are usually complete, but we tend to be awkward and far less than smooth. With practice and maybe the luck of finding a few good editors, our confidence increases, […]
I was poking around some blogs this morning and came upon FreelanceSwitch’s post called: A Simple Follow Up Formula
There author Ilise Benun makes the point that a generic follow up can be worse than none at all. She then goes on to provide a three-step formula that pretty much guarantees your follow up will be […]
Boss Hatch, a fairly new blog at b5media is dedicated to the younger business person. A couple of months ago, blogger Jim Gorden created a post called: da fate of gud grammer
It’s a nifty rant about how written language may be deteriorating among the young. My hunch is his example is a pretty good example […]
Thanks to Joe Wikert and his pointer to Kevin Kelly’s post called Better Than Free. For those of you who don’t know, Kelly has been a leader in all things ‘net for years. I first knew of him through The Well, the original online community when he was also associated with Stewart Brand’s Whole Earth […]
It’s been years since I’ve had a separate room for an office. That’s largely because I’ve chosen to live a fairly alternative lifestyle. For example, I spent 16 years aboard a wee houseboat in Sausalito in a community of artists and waterfront workers called Galilee Harbor. No office there, just a desk that looked out […]
