- Hi, I'm new to this space. As an individual who worked for 12 long years in high pressured, unsatisfying office environments, and now pilots a lonely yet often fulfilling ship from my home office, I thought I would use this blog space to begin running through some aspects of the life of a freelancer. Or my experiences of it, in any event.Some of you may find bits of the material amusing and/or ...

Or in my tongue of Portuguese: Onde sao? Or in my slag English: Where in the hell are they?Ok, there are SOME. We are given Sanda Cisneros et al so that we don't feel completely ignored. We are ...

- I've begun to see our perceptual capacities as a kind of funhouse (only not always so much fun). Our paths to clear sight are blocked here by obstacles, there by distorting mirrors. It's easiest to spot the places a fellow-traveler has been tricked into thinking a mirror is a window; and hardest when we find ourselves walking smack into a wall, serenely confident until the last second that we ...

- As a local poet, using Facebook is a great networking opportunity. Aside from regular use--where I can re-connect with old friends or classmates from twenty years ago, Facebook is a tool that allows the option to meet new people, promote one's work, and can be a platform or portfolio that may lead to future opportunities. For instance, not only do I look at associates' walls, but when I ...

- I fell off the radar temporarily last week. Lost all communication. It was a combination of the end of school, huge trip, and finishing my WIP, Pelorus Jack.Most of all, though, I was an emotional wreck. My kids left on Friday with my husband for Germany. I stayed at home in the empty nest.My husband grew up and lived most of his live in Germany until I "imported" him to the U.S. after ...

- I've posted on my site re: the latest cutbacks at the CBC, which threaten to gut our national broadcaster's commitment to regional voices and programming.The cuts also meant the loss of terrific programs like "OutFront". A bloody shame, that.Hope any Canucks stopping by here will do what they can to help grow the CBC, rather than sentence it to death by a thousand cuts. We have one ...

- On December 31st, Time Warner Cable plans to pull fourteen public access channels and fourteen studios, in Los Angeles, a city whose name has, for generations, been synonymous with media and broadcasting. This move will act to solidify recent gains in media consolidation, as well as set a dangerous precedent for television programming nationally.Those of us born on the cusp of the McCarthy era, ...

- I stopped giving my poems titles almost ten years ago, and I must admit that this blog system's requirement of a title is causing me some difficulty. So please keep in mind that the title above is for the blog post, not the poem, for if I had to title the poem, it would probably need to be a bit more sarcastic... there used to be a myth of the melting potwhere all americansof various ...
