Flood update

Still working on flood cleanup, and now that I have a new apartment, I’m also working on getting it ready for moving my stuff over (painting walls while it’s still empty, etc.) and getting the stuff ready for moving. Good things are happening: the cable company appears to not need to charge me for the … Read more

Taking the week off, kind of

If you don’t already know, I woke up Sunday morning to 4 inches of water across my apartment and Mogget marooned in the kitchen, unable to get past the water gushing in the front door. So due to the need to recover from the flood, I won’t be able to answer individual consultation emails this … Read more

Thoughts on freelancing, redux

I’ve really appreciated all the thoughts on freelancing so many people have offered in the last little while. I’m getting into my groove, and my office works more efficiently every day. There’s not a lot to talk shop about here right now, though, so I’m afraid it’s been a lot of filler lately. I think … Read more

Here’s a pretty-looking milestone

I’m still working on painting my apartment, which is a slow process when it’s not your first priority. I just got a nice chocolate brown leather chair–SO very comfy–and ottoman for a steal on clearance at a local furniture store outlet. I also found an end table that matched perfectly with the dark cherry shelves I … Read more

So I get a knock on my door this morning…

And it’s the assistant manager. She lives upstairs, and earlier this morning she was walking by and saw two black cats on the stairs outside. She did a double-take and said, “Wait a minute! You guys aren’t supposed to be outside!”   Turns out that my cats had somehow knocked out the screen door to … Read more

Writing progress, jonowrimo

33,650! I can’t find the progress bar I used to use. I’ve searched as much as my borderline-migraine brain will let me. I give up, and I’m going to bed. It’s enough that I just wrote two chapters more, and that we’re finally *getting* somewhere in the story!

I think this is it

I don’t really need a two-sided card–and in fact, as an editor I prefer getting 1-sided cards because I can make notes on the back of the cards. I’ve been tweaking with my business card, and I kind of like just going with the iconic feeling. What do you all think of this?   Note that … Read more

What do you think?

(Friends-locked due to not wanting to post my phone number everywhere) For the info side of my card: And two options for the other side: I really like that shot, but I kind of like the second one, which I used a stained glass filter on, because then it’s not so much about those particular … Read more

A picture poll

Thanks for all the advice. If I go with one of the service I’m looking at, I have the option of including an RGB photo and can pull in my own for not all that much money. I’m thinking this might make the card look nice without adding foil or raised type. So, if I … Read more

Business cards

I know many a writer who has really interesting business cards. I might keep more toward the staid side, but at any rate I’m in the market for some. For those of you have had a need to get a business card of your own, where did you get yours? I’ve heard that there are … Read more
