Back a few years ago, I quit writing articles. I was burned out, feeling like a hamster-writer on a wheel of articles that changed from month to month. Something needed to change, but I wasn’t sure what. All I knew was that I’d lost the passion.
I wrote a few articles between then and now, but [...]

A different kind of job responsibility

I was supposed to talk on the phone today with one of my sources, who has expressed interest in collaborating with me (in addition to the first guy). But he never called, and this afternoon he sent me an email explaining why. In short, he’d been up to his neck all day with various media [...]

I’m shamelessly stealing this from my friend and fellow Shroud writer Kevin Lucia, in part because he gave permission to do so and in part because he knows more about the following two publications than I do.

The New York Times Magazine has an article this morning about social networking, especially “ambient awareness” sites like Twitter. It’s an interesting read, and it has me wondering three things simultaneously: 1) how could I leverage this kind of contact for my business, 2) could people really be that interested in a freelance mama who [...]
