http://songupinmyhead.blogspot.com/2011/09/skiing-in-netherlands.html
Song Up In My Head. Yes is a world. And in this world of yes live. Saturday, September 3, 2011. Skiing in the Netherlands. If you’re going skiing indoors in the Netherlands, here are a few tips. 1 All skiing in the Netherlands is indoors. You'll see why if you ever visit here- the entire country is flat as Kansas. 2 An hour is enough time. Really. No matter how huge the facility is, it’s really just a bunny hill with a roof.

It's easy to lose sight of the joy that's supposed to come hand-in-hand with getting to practice your art. When you're a kid, you live in that joy. You follow your own creative interests, down any road- regardless of whether that road is marketable or effective or whatever. You don't care. You're doing it for you. Ignore everyone else in the room. Be gentle with yourself.

A blog about freelancing, web copywriting, and the writing life. Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Palm Readings and Popcorn. I just have to share this experience. So I was walking down the street in the East Village the other day. I was on my way to see a movie with a friend, and I was late. And as I was walking, a guy comes up to me and starts walking alongside me. He says something, very fast, to the effect of:. 8221; (He really did say that.) And in this perky, peppy voice…. Where are you headed, miss? 8220;N...

CatalystBlogger: Do You Work for Friends?
http://catalystblogger.blogspot.com/2012/03/do-you-work-for-friends.html
A blog about freelancing, web copywriting, and the writing life. Friday, March 9, 2012. Do You Work for Friends? I have a policy on working for family members and close friends. Only small projects, and only for free. I don't let close friends and family members pay me. That may be kind of a radical position to take, but for me it works. I am usually not OK with doing any of these things when working with close friends and family members. But I think if you do work with them, you may have to be:. When I ...

CatalystBlogger: November 2010
http://catalystblogger.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A blog about freelancing, web copywriting, and the writing life. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. I was recently asked by a friend of mine how to get started in freelancing. This is such a common question- and, to be honest, frustrating to answer- because there are so many ways people get started. However, thinking about it, I realized that most people I know who are currently full-time freelancers got a start in one of four ways:. Is all that's needed to get them going. How did you get started? Links to this...

A blog about freelancing, web copywriting, and the writing life. Monday, June 21, 2010. In Freelancing, Can You Trust Anyone? Once, when I had been in business for only a little over a year, I had a client I had worked with several times hire me for a small writing assignment. “No need for a contract,” the client said before we started, “I’ll just send over a check right now.”. You never really know anyone—and you can’t leave your business decisions up to trust, even if you’ve worked wi...On Wednesday I ...

Song Up In My Head: Knossos, Phaistos, Gortys
http://songupinmyhead.blogspot.com/2011/09/knossos-phaistos-gortys.html
Song Up In My Head. Yes is a world. And in this world of yes live. Monday, September 19, 2011. Knossos, Phaistos, Gortys. The next day we were in Phaistos and Gortys, two other important historical sites. Phaistos is another Minoan palace, while Gortys has ruins from the Dorian and Roman periods. Seeing all of those sites close together like this was actually really interesting, because all three were presented in very different ways. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Making Our Own Trail.
