Writers with ‘kick butt’ recession ideas…

Whatever works, right? I mean writers are creative if nothing else. We know how to keep the money woes at bay in a sense by applying tricks of the trade we’ve learned just by doing some good ole networking, quering ,trolling & marketing the product of which many of us have become expert in “Writing!”…
I know the economic downslide have caused the best [...]

Interview with Angel Harper

Angel Harper can be best remembered as one of those gabfest women alongside Whoopie Goldberg’s character ”Clara” in the movie Clara’s Heart, or maybe folks know her as the reporter in Kiss The Girls with Morgan Freeman. No matter… if you remember Ms. Harper from those or other movies like “Gabriel’s Fire”. Hairspray. The Rugrats Movie , or Batman, [...]

Hooked On STATS!

It’s been a reallly rough weekend, but lo & behold, no matter how dang tired I am from standing on my feet all day, ripping & racing down the halls to assist a patient in need, or simply to answer a call light for something as trivial as substituting jelly as opposed to syrup for a bland waffle, [...]

Film showing Potential Loss Of Jobs

People are losing their jobs all over, the mass amts of unemployed folks are accumulating on the daily. With small & lg car dealerships falling by the wayside, I was wondering who’s next?
Well, received an email from a friend in the know that Healthcare will be threatened & faced with massive layoffs as well… I had spoken to Kai duc Luong, [...]

At The Movies With Clara54

Rise & Shine!

My mom used to wake us kids up come morning like this back in the day…hmmm, tomorrow is Mother’s Day , so happy mothers day! It’s saturday morn almost 8 am here in a Windy City Illinois…from the window in my writing nook, I ‘m looking out at a balmy sort of morning where a few trees are swaying [...]

The”Art” of Competition

Competition is healthy, in sport, life & in the business of freelance writing. I’m reminded of how oftentimes competing for a prize, or to stay on top of ones’ game can become a snarling & vicious cycle. I’m not seeing much of this sort of cempetitiveness in freelance writing per se, but I have seen a side where seemingly [...]

“Writing is a passion–Publishing is a business”

Ok, I recently borrowed this great quote from some astute writer from some place I’ve visited the last two years on this wonderful place of gathering for like minded,creative & collective genius in writings out there in the blogosphere. I thank you (whoever you are) because truer words have never been spoken. I promised a later post [...]
