Choosing a career: a personal experience

For the last two weeks, the topic for my "Reading and Writing" class in a local university was "career". We read three articles in the textbook - and we ended up with a lengthy discussion about my students' interests and where they think they are heading to. We discussed reasons why people would work, and what would be my students' personal reasons. Some of their answers got me to think about myself. Like most people, I work for money - but not for a lot of money, just enough to sustain my life… Continue

The Importance of the Mentor/Editor ...

Had my weekly meeting with the novel editor today. We talked about the implications of a couple of scenes - implications that I'd given thought to but not as much as she was pushing me about. It was over the placement of picture frames in the scene and as I talked to her about it, I realized that maybe I hadn't thought the moment out as much as I already had. She likes what we were talking about, but I think we both know there are going to be changes. I thought I'd ramble a bit tonight about th… Continue

Tonight ... When One Line Won't Leave You Alone ...

I've been ignoring my chances to start writing here. I don't know why, other than I, like most writers, can be, at times, incurably lazy. (How was that for over-excessive uses of commas?) But, as I am bound and determined to write in this thing regularly and do it about writing, I figured tonight is as good a night as any to start. There's a million cliched ways to say that ... I think I'll just dive into the pool and get off on the right foot and just start walking ... Hey, stop preparing to t… Continue

Website Updates

The first in my writing about writing posts, I've made updates to my website. I write fanfiction and it's something I am very proud of. Fanfiction is, to me, one of the most important writing tools out there. When we're given a character to work with but must come up with something original - that's more difficult than creating something original and believable. Fanfiction is a chance to play with style and technique and it's a chance to see how research plays out. My website can be accessed h… Continue

So ... an introduction. Of sorts.

I'm here, on another new networking site. Didn't I swear off of these after I decided that facebook was enough? This is different though. Why? It just feels different. Maybe because I've been searching for a place to post about writing because I was feeling that livejournal wasn't enough anymore. I wanted to expand a blog to my webpage but didn't know how. Well, this seems to fit what I'm contemplating. So, here goes. I'm starting. As with all things in life, it's an experiment. Some work, many… Continue

If your website is set-up to get visitors to fill out a
form, make sure to then figure out what the difference is
between your site conversion rate and your sales conversion
rate. This is because not everyone who fills out your form
will actually become your customer. However, whether your
site is set-up to sell a service or product, or to get the
visitor to fill out a form, the site conversion rate will
measure the success or failure of your webs… Continue

BLOGITIS

I believe that I've been stung by the blogging bee and now I am sorely afflicted with blogitis.

With three other blogs, a weekly newspaper column, guest blogging at Better Living Today plus miscellaneous other writing responsibilities, you would think there is no room in my life or time in my days for another blog. But I can't seem to resist the urge to plant myself and my writing wherever other writers gather.

I feel at home here with my blogitis an all and I look forward… Continue

WhateverLife.com - 17-year-old rejects 1.5 million buyout

Read the inspiring "Girl Power" story on Fast Company:

Ashley is evidence of the meritocracy on the Internet that allows even companies run by neophyte entrepreneurs to compete, regardless of funding, location, size, or experience--and she's a reminder that ingenuity is ageless. She has taken in more than $1 million, thanks to a now-familiar Web-friendly business model. Her MySpace page layouts are a… Continue

Network With Me

I wrote this a couple of months ago, but it seemed timely to resurrect it now that I've joined a new network.

It took me a long time to catch on to social communities. Even though I was quick to see the possibilities of bookmarking, I didn't think the community aspect would be so much fun.

I'm not talking about MySpace - I'm talking about communities that are made for bloggers. These are communities that showcase your posts and your bl… Continue
