Freelancer’s Survival Guide: Emergencies
Artwork donated by Pati Nagle. Freelancer’s Survival Guide: Emergencies I am writing this in a hotel room in Boise, Idaho. I’m not really on a vacation, but I did sorta plan for this trip. I knew I’d be away, planned projects I could do on the road, and brought a lot of electronic hardware with me. I feel a bit odd traveling with laptop, Kindle, iPhone, and iPod, but now that I’m here I’m happy to have it. Especially the laptop. This morning, I answered e-mail, shipped materials to editors in New York and Italy, and answered a few queries. I also put a few things off because I forgot to update my laptop calendar, so I’m clueless about the year ahead. And I didn’t want to spend the few work hours I … Read entire article »

What Fluffy Knew
I’ve posted another e-short story this week. This one is my ever-popular, “What Fluffy Knew.” “What Fluffy Knew,” originally a tribute to my cat Ashley, has become one of my most talked about stories. Fluffy, a princessy white cat who lives a charmed life as an indoor cat, discovers, and confronts, an alien invasion–all without leaving the house. First published in an anthology, “Fluffy” has appeared in all kinds of places, including Read Magazine, which–for those of you as old as I am–used to be called Weekly Reader, and was handed out in schools. You can buy your own personal e-copy of “Fluffy” in these places: Kindle, Scribd, Smashwords Or, if you prefer an audio version, listen to this lovely podcast from the Drabblecast here. … Read entire article »
