Tweet Hi guys! I’ve been busy in a good way lately. Wrote a few guest posts, working on an article for a magazine, essays, assignments for an online class and a few projects are still in brainstorm mode. {Actually, I’ve still got newsletters brewing in my head. Do any of you find it helpful for your business? Would you like to see an inspirational writing one from me?} One of the posts I recently wrote was on self-care for the self-employed because I know how you guys roll. I know how hard you work. The papers piling up on your…

Tweet {Photo credit} Some days I feel oh so lucky! That’s what I felt with author Dina Santorelli asked me to guest blog for her and then sent me this jewel of a post here. If you’ve ever wanted to be an author, then you’re in luck too. Read her inspiring story about how she completed half her first novel in about 6 weeks! All you NANAWRIMOs out there will appreciate this one. On August 9, 2010, I completed my first novel, Baby Grand.It was one of those wonderful, fulfilling moments when you not only finally achieve a career milestone,…

Tweet Carson Brackney’s back and better than ever. Lucky for me he’s written a new guest post that will blow you away. It’s all about freelancing and time scheduling. Thanks Carson! So, you have the schedule thing all figured out. Everyone talks about how tough it is to maintain any semblance of a reasonable life as a freelancer, but you aren’t worried. You have the calendar. You have the time slots all lined up, filled up, organized, planned and your work life for the week will be so smoother than Yul Brynner’s scalp after a Crisco application. Yeah, right. The…

Tweet Between starting the longest article I ever undertaken and working as an Associate Editor, I barely had time to hop onto this blog and my inspiring one. But I somehow managed to fit in a guest post. And I feel really honored to do so. Why? The person I was guest blogging for is Dina Santorelli, a freelance writer with published articles and a book to her name. Someone I admired dearly. Somehow she found me on Facebook and asked if I would guest post for her on something inspiring. And I did with great excitement. So here it…

Tweet Hi. Just in case you didn’t realize it, this isn’t my blog. I don’t own it. I don’t run it. I didn’t even make a dollar for writing this post. I even have a blog of my very own. So, what in the hell am I doing here? I’m contributing a guest post. Brandi and I recently swapped one post for another during the 2010 WordCount Blogathon and we decided to keep the door open for occasional future guest posts. That’s why you’re reading my words instead of hers right now. You might be wondering why we’re doing that.…

Tweet The “Perfect” Movie McCabe & Mrs. Miller is among my favorite movies of all time. I think it’s better than any of the other revisionist westerns of the early 70s. I love the way Robert Altman allows dialog to overlap. I think the Leonard Cohen soundtrack is perfect. I can’t think of anything else Warren Beatty has done to compare to McCabe and Doctor Zhivago is the only reason I can’t say the same thing about Julie Christie. I’m not alone. Roger Ebert considers McCabe & Mrs. Miller a perfect movie. It scores an impressive 89% freshness rating at…

Tweet I’m happy to welcome super talented writer and owner of the fabulous a.k.a. writer blog, Jesaka Long! Although I haven’t had the chance to meet Jesaka in person, I’ve had the fortune of networking with Jesaka online and feel lucky to have done so. Jesaka is not only a talented writer, but has become a valuable writer friend. I was honored that she asked me to be a guest blogger on a.k.a. writer, and was doubly excited when she agreed to be a guest on mine. Without further ado, please welcome Jesaka! I know you’ll enjoy reading her post…
