So this past week was Taxes week for me. The downside of being self-employed is that my taxes are much, much more complicated than were back when I had a regular 9 to 5 marketing job. I have to track royalties, self pub sales from Rabbit Trick, audio and other rights sales, and freelance gigs […]

Return of the Sun
So today I’m sitting outside in the Atlanta spring sunshine on a bright orange lounge chair, soaking up the (surprisingly hot) sun and feeling the breeze. The trees outside my back porch are still bare from the winter, and just a few days ago it was 40 degrees out. Now it’s 77, and I’ve got […]

Return of the Back
Whew! It’s been a few weeks since I hurt my back (what felt like 4 or a billion years or so) but I’m finally feeling better. Still a bit sensitive, and my IT bands are still driving me nuts, but I made it back to the gym with Sam yesterday and walked on the treadmill, […]
Talk Nerdy to Me: Space

The Trouble With the Back…
So I hurt my back this week. You know, the normal way, lifting something unusually heavy several times this weekend followed by toting an insanely heavy bag all over the coworking facility in high heels. Twice. Then lifting said bag at lunch, from the floor, twisting. #ouch #andtherewenttheback The trouble with the back is that […]
The New Working Adventure
After the difficult winter I’ve had, I’m finding myself missing the old office job more than I’d care to admit. Working at home can be lonely at times, and personal and work can bleed together. The laundry can demand to be done at 2:00 pm, for example, and the toilets need to be scrubbed instead […]
