Using Twitter to Achieve World Domination (In Your Field)
I can’t believe I haven’t posted about Twitter before. After all, I’ve been using it to promote my writing and connect with other freelancers for quite some time now, and even did a guest post over at TwiTip on taking your Twitter networking from online to in-the-flesh. I think it warrants a mention here at [...]

Cornering the Market? Or Feeling Cornered?
I remember how good it felt when I first published this piece on YourTango. Finally, I thought to myself. Something that’s not about sex.

Link Love: March 13
It’s been a lazy week. Lazy, as in I was so thrown off by Wednesday’s on-site copy editing gig in Brooklyn that I was too lazy to post here on either Wednesday or Thursday. Will you forgive me if I provide you with some alternate reading material?

Product Placement: NiteNote
I blogged about this for Modern Materialist earlier today, and thought some of you might be interested. As a writer, I find myself spending a lot of time staring at a blank screen. And then, at night, when I’m supposed to be shutting my brain down, ideas start coming fast and furious. My husband hates [...]

How to Remain Productive When the Shit Hits the Fan
My husband told me I should write this post, despite the fact that all I really want to do is hide under five blankets while watching a foreign film I can cry along with. Perhaps while eating Nutella with a spoon. About a year ago, I stopped using credit cards, transferring all my debt onto [...]
