Who else dislikes their own birthdays as much as I do? Not because I’m getting older (getting older is a privilege denied to too many) but because I’ve never been one who likes being the center of attention. Stop laughing now! Do you think writers like being the center of attention? Very few do! Most […]

The kids were enthralled as I read O The Places You’ll Go! In two of three classrooms I read it in, kids raised their hands and said, “I loved the way you read that!” (Thank you, John Lithgow, for the training!) One young man asked me the name of the book again because he wanted

I’m about an hour away from being finished with a 40K word editing project–the first time through. I spent six hours on it today and two hours on it yesterday, so my eyes are crossing right now. (I spent a lot more time before yesterday. I’m just reporting on the last two days with regard
Editing Still… Tilt! Read More »
I’m editing today–not my favorite task, and it pays less, so I’m doing my best to get through it as quickly as I can quickly without compromising quality. That said, I can’t (or won’t, I should say) edit eight hours a day because I’d get tired and probably miss things. So I only dedicate three
Last night I wrote brochure copy for a private consulting firm in Zimbabwe, Africa (Wanangwa Consulting Limited). The client, Freedom Mawoyo, found me on LinkedIn (as I recall). My spirit resonated to what Mr. Mawoyo is doing in Africa on construction projects and by the unique way in which he does them. He has been
