Graham Strong, who writes a blog called A Few Strong Words and also writes white papers, has a post called: Cutting Out the Noise
There he talks about his own experience shutting down IM and email most of the day as an experiment to see if he really did get more done. Not surprisingly, he found […]
BuzzNetworker, another b5media blog, has a post today called: Citizen Journalism. It highlights the Center for Citizen Media, which is new to me, then goes on to talk about the fact that the San Jose Mercury News has called for neighborhood bloggers.
In one sense citizen journalism isn’t new at all. When you stop and think […]
I’m normally at my computer writing by 6:30 or 7 in the morning. I’m one of those folks who likes getting up at first light and mornings are my most creative time. It’s just flat easier to write in the morning for me than at any other time.
Today, however, I’m doing it differently. First of […]
Sigh! I suppose it should be obvious, but until I read Joe Wikert’s story called Kindle Book Conversion: One Author’s Story that I realized there would, of course, be formatting problems when it came time to get your book, or mine, into shape for whatever ebook reader I wanted to be able to sell it […]
How many of you recognize this scenario, or something like it?

Have you ever been editing your work on screen and had trouble erasing what you thought was an errant period? Except it turned out to be a spec of who knows what masquerading as misplaced punctuation. Or, if you’re like me, you’ll notice weird spots on your screen… mine are usually toward the bottom and […]
If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, you’re probably at least vaguely aware I live in San Diego. Well, now that I’ve moved, I live in a town called National City, but it adjoins San Diego so it’s almost the same thing. Not only do I live in sublime weather now, 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 […]
