New Page Just Posted
I just added another page to my blog. This one is based on a lecture I gave awhile back, and it is called The Three-Fold Writer’s Path. You can access it from the directory to the right.
The Three-Fold Writer’s Path
Photo courtesy of Wikipedia Nearby where I live in Portland, Oregon, is the Columbia Gorge, a canyon of great beauty carved by the mighty Columbia River. All along the rim of the gorge flow an abundance of waterfalls and throughout this green, mossy area, there are a series of interconnected trails that are great favorites […]
Creative Commuting
I’m in LA this week, to see clients and friends. I flew down here yesterday on the first Alaska flight out of Portland on Monday morning, and the back of the plane was full of creative commuters. Besides moi, there was the Danish screenwriter that I sat next to. Across the way, a man was […]
New Website: Verve Earth
I just got invited to join a new website called Verve Earth, which tracks members of the blogosphere all over the planet. Its an excellent site, check it out here.
Quel Disaster
This is just awful. My fabulous new blog network, on which I had two blogs, Powered by Books and Powered by Writing, crashed and burned this afternoon. They had a power outage for a few hours and somewhere in the midst of that the software completely compromised itself. These are the nicest people and they […]
New Posts
In your internet travels, hop on over and check out my new blogs. Looks as if they’ve gotten a lot of material posted over there, its still a start-up which went live only last Monday, so bear that in mind. Think its going to be a good blog network, though. I’ve written a number of […]

Manuscripts will now be accepted until 4 PM (central time) on June 22, next Friday. Its a good contest, with a […]
Vanity Fair & Binyavanga Wainaina & Bono
I’m slowly reading the June issue of Vanity Fair. It’s the Africa issue edited by Bono. I’ve got this fascination with Africa and all its complex issues. Me and half the free world, it seems. The issue is pretty amazing. It’s full of informative articles and I like that they aren’t all gloom and doom. […]
A New Gig
I’ve been remiss in posting because I’ve been the wee-est bit distracted by the usual suspects–the necessity of making a living (oh, yeah, that). But I have good news–I am, as of Tuesday, the official new host (hostess?) of two new blogs on the Powered By Everything blog network. I will be the one and […]
Kiva
There’s a wonderful article about Kiva on the ABC News website. Its called "Finding Peace Through Paypal" and you can read it here. You may have noticed the large ad for the organization on this blog. I think its a great idea, a way to help other entrepeneurs help themselves. Apparently, we can now lend […]
