Did you all know that November is "National Novel Writing Month?" Or on twitter known as #NaNoWriMo? Basically you're supposed to set goals and write a full novel in the month of November through self discipline and the help of others doing it too. My company, Eat Your Serial, would love to be a place for anyone who is trying to accomplish this goal to publish their work - for free. We even set you up with an editor. Check out the blog for more about us: http://eatyourserial.wordpress.com

It is entirely possible to use constant connectivity as a crutch for other support structures. But you can compensate and still use the technology correctly.
For example: I work in IT. One of my responsibilities is to provide support to several computer systems. I repeatedly stress to my users that they can always call me directly if the issue is urgent, but they need to contact the corporate Help Desk FIRST. Because, when I am out of the office or unavailable, the help desk will know about it and find someone to help them.
I don't use my constant availability as a substitute for the regular company problem-reporting process, I use it as a enhancement. So I can turn off my phone when needed.

I just read a blog post from our friend Alexandra Levit (http://bit.ly/aNLDMx) about what it means to be a best-selling author and it got me thinking about all of you who are passionate about writing. If you're interested in writing a book, or any piece of writing for that matter, what's more important to you: acclaim or meaning? Just because a book is a best seller doesn't mean it's any good. If you could only have one of the two, which would you choose? Money or impact?

I think that the web has made this extra interesting and ambiguous. All writing is, in a way, designed to provoke some sort of conversation. The web, though, is extra-conversational. Most writing on the web is designed to provoke immediate feedback, and we've discovered that that is best accomplished by short and open-ended posts.
On the other hand, a lot of meaningful writing takes a long time to sink in and doesn't necessarily provoke a direct response. I think that it's important to separate these two types of writing. If you're making money for it and it's on the web, chances are that you are good at provoking instant feedback.
I may be going out on a limb here, but I think this is an interesting subject:
Which is more satisfying, writing something that will slowly sink in with people but not provoke instant feedback, or writing something that provokes instant feedback?

I was listening to Morning Edition on NPR today and they mentioned the travails of a recent college graduate under the age of 26 who has struggled to gain health insurance even after the mandate of the Healthcare bill. The piece focused on a relatively well-off, healthy person who was more worried about "what if." But I have friends with very real problems and no healthcare, and I think the "young people are healthier" argument is cruel to those with serious ailments at my age. Thoughts?

Last night, 650 voters in the city in which I live (pop. 8,000 or so) elected a 21 year old college student that still lives with his mother to the city council. Many who have written about him say he is very "nice and well spoken" and that he does volunteer work. Others say he can't possibly have enough life experience for this job. But what do you think? In general, can any 21 year college student really have enough life knowledge to be good on a city council?

I certainly think that he could offer a whole new/fresh perspective to the city council. He's not tied into the general mode of thinking that's prevailed there until now. He's got the added bonus of being an 'empty vessel' so to speak; the new concepts, theories and ideas he's studied, he can see innovative ways to implement them. Besides, the age shouldn't be the only thing he's judged on. Some young people I know have more life experience than people twice their age. If he's impressive enough for people to actively vote him into public office, he must have something to offer that the voters feel they need.

If you are going to invoice say per piece, net 30, that should be down on paper (along with the rest of the engagement's stipulations) and signed off on by both yourself and a person on the client end with purchasing responsibilities (in this case often the Senior Editor or Dir. of Mktg).

I have been to quite a few meetings where everyone wants to voice their own opinion and get their 2 cents in. They will give opinions but are not willing to help or take action on their opinion. Longs meetings create talk and no action. (again if there is not a certain goal in mind for the meeting as well as a duration cut off) 15 min is great :)
