So today I’m writing about work — well I’m writing about my perspective on the stuff I write about for work.
I’ve been infused, invigorated and inspired with some much-needed creative bursts — likely triggered by my company’s expected launch of a new mobile-banking portal. I’ve actually enjoyed thinking about what this site could be and […]

Suffering from writer’s block …

Posted by admin on November 24th, 2009 filed in editor, job, life, living, writer

12:38 p.m. ET. I have two stories to file by 4 p.m. No words have manifested.
A digression: The blog.
I’m listening to another journalist in the newsroom complain about a so-called quote she received from a CEO — a quote that has obviously gone through the marketing and PR departments, and now reads so *canned* that […]

My dad sent this to me … and it brought a smile! I don’t get write this kind of stuff in the real world!

To the left: Tracy and Dana in the desert, on the way to Essaoulia, Morocco!

Marrakes(c)h Express

Posted by admin on May 20th, 2009 filed in job, life, living, personal

The final countdown: I leave for Morocco tomorrow and plan to blog about my trip from the road. If the Internet gods cooperate, and my site allows me to upload new images, the updates should be free-flowing … and I should be smooth-sailing!
