I try to blog at least once a day, and often post up to four times. Today just flat got away from me. I did an hour of meditation, but that’s pretty usual. And I start early. I knew I had my two hours at the clay studio, then a meeting after that, and I […]

I just realized I’m tired. Maybe I’ve been busier this week than I thought, or maybe feeling more stress, or, or, or… who knows, exactly. But as I wait for a call from a client, I realize I’m tired!
You know what? After the client calls, or doesn’t (sometimes they don’t), I’m taking a nap. I […]

As conservative commentators (I’m not thinking quit that nicely) continue to insist all mainstream media has a “liberal bias,” media as we know it has been and continues to be consolidated at what I consider an alarming rate. Under the guise of the mythical free market and deregulation, newspapers are now owned by corporations far […]

One of those things I’ve always been puzzled about is why so many employers seem to want to watch the writers they hire write. You know what I mean. You’re reading an ad for a writer, realizing you’re perfect for it until - WHAM! - there it is - ON SITE ONLY.

Can you see what’s in my backyard? Yep, kittens! There are actually four of them and plus, of course, the mom. All feral at the moment, but three and maybe four of the kittens are spoken for. I’ll try to trap mom once the kittens are gone and get her nutered, then, if she’ll let […]

Oh good grief! How often do I have to learn this lesson?
I’ve been having huge trouble with a chapter in a ghostwriting chapter. This has been going on for days. I’ve re-listened to the DVD the author sent, read the offending chapter multiple times and simply couldn’t see what was wrong. I even put it […]

One of the things I truly love about freelance writing is my ability to go shopping at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday morning, or maybe just after lunch on Thursday. If you haven’t guessed, I truly dislike traffic and hoards of folks in stores.
The news this morning is full of parking lot counts and interviews […]
