This past weekend, I did something truly revolutionary: I didn’t do a damn bit of work. Instead, I spent a day cleaning the condo. I threw a party. I caught up with people I hadn’t seen in eons, due to my all-encompassing absorption with my work. I took down the Christmas decorations. I even enjoyed [...]

Link Love: January 2, 2010
2009 is behind us, and good riddance to it. Though it ended on a high note — with big-money projects, the start of my career coaching certification program, and a new job — the bulk of it was a struggle, due to a continuing downward spiral in my income. I worked my booty off, though, [...]

Christmas Link Love
Merry Christmas from me and the fam! (We’re all so excited, we’re doing jazz hands for you.) I am, at this moment, probably exchanging gifts with my husband (I totally bought him a stress ball shaped like a boob from the Museum of Sex! Among other things…). But I still wanted to give those of [...]

Link Love – December 18, 2009
Hey there guys! Before I give you your link love for the week, I’d like to indulge in a little bit of self-promotion. I’m thrilled and honored to report that Brazen Careerist has named me as one of the nominees in their Top 50 Blog Posts of 2009/Blogger of the Year contest! There are a [...]

Link Love: December 12
Hey there. Remember me? I’m Steph, your friendly neighborhood blogger, who just happened to drop off the face of the blogosphere due to her new, part-time freelance gig as Assistant Editor for YourTango, in addition to other copywriting, newspaper, and magazine deadlines. And career coaching teleclasses. Not to mention Christmas. As you can imagine, I’ve [...]

Link Love: November 21
What a week! It started out on a somber note, with an overnight trip down to MD for a cousin’s funeral, but quickly turned around, with a job offer, my very first career coaching teleclass, and some exciting new projects. Excitement! While I go do my happy dance (again), I’ll leave you to read this week’s link [...]

Link Love: November 7
I just finished my first week sans Nerve and, so far, it’s been good. I’ve thrown myself into new projects, and have found myself breezing through them with even greater efficiency. Which hasn’t left much time for outside reading, but:

Link Love: Halloween 2009
Hey there guys! Here I am (with Jarvis Cocker), copy editing on Halloween, and wearing my horns despite the fact that the only time I had occasion to leave the condo today was to bring Gizmo to the vet. C’est la vie. Before I dive back into this textbook project, I wanted to present you [...]

Link Love: October 17
What a week. On Monday, I braved a bus ride into the city in order to interview for a sweet-sounding part-time gig with a web magazine I’ve always admired. Both the office environment and the job description were even more compelling than I

Link Love: October 23
I broke my promise. One of my October goals was to post to Freelancedom at least three times a week. But this week turned out a little…crazy. On the I’m-so-stressed end of things, I found blood in my cat’s urine, and had to take him on an emergency trip to the vet. Him: Not thrilled. [...]
