Hi all,

I've been guest blogging again on Jean Henry Mead's Writing Advice and Good Books blog. The post is called "A Series of Unfortunate (Publishing) Events" (you can just imagine what I have to say) and it's at http://advicefromeditors.blogspot.com/2009/11/guest-blogger-debbi-mack.html

And thank you, Lemony Snicket, for the headline. :)

Best,
Debbi

Networking, And Why It Sucks
Ever go to a networking event and hate it? Here's some reasons why networking can suck, and one suggestion for making it better. Hint: it's personal.
 
BTW BizNik is free to join. They are not that active in the DC area, but their shared articles are fantastic. I always get more out of their Weekly Hotsheet than all the other business enewsletters I'm on combined.

From the Columbia Center for Theatrical Arts in case you or someone you know would be a good fit:

The position is PT -- about 20-25 hours/week.  Responsibilities include grant writing, fundraising, and the development and maintenance of community partnerships.  We need someone with a strong writing/communication skills, grant writing and fundraising experience.  It certainly wouldn’t hurt if the person loves theater and kids!  Experience with Publisher, Access, and is a plus.    Resume and writing sample can be emailed or faxed to us:  info@... or 410-381-6090.  Thank you!

Hi Kathy,

I haven't read any business books lately but have attended some interesting seminars. Would like to come and hear what others have read.

Vicino at 1 right?

Hi all-
 
We have 11 lunches in 2010 (as we skip Dec) and we need discussion topics.
Our first 3 will be on Social Media that comes up seemingly at all of our lunches, so we'll devote full-time to: Twitter, Facebook, and Linked-In (not necessarily in that order).
That leaves 8 more to fill.
Any new topics you want to explore? Any topic repeats you'd like to do?
PS I believe we have found our permanent home, I'm just awaiting the final room assignment before I announce it as "official." 
We will be brown bagging it individually OR we can do potluck OR if someone wants to cater/sponsor the lunch, we can do that too.
Thoughts?
Sincerely,
Kathy Jentz

Hi,

If you're anywhere near Ellicott City, MD, this coming weekend, you can help the Kiwanis Club support its youth programs and scholarships by attending a pancake breakfast this Saturday, Nov. 7. The breakfast will feature a craft fair. And guess who'll be there selling and signing copies of IDENTITY CRISIS until 11:00 a.m.? :)

For details on time and location, see http://www.ellicottcitykiwanis.com/.

Best wishes,
Debbi

Hi all,

The local (Maryland) Women's Journal carried a really nice review of IDENTITY CRISIS. It's on p. 24 of the Oct./Nov. issue. I've copied the link below.

Hi all,

I've been with the group for a while, but figured I'd tell any newcomers a bit about myself.

I'm a freelance writer/researcher and fiction author. Most of my freelance work has been writing assignments (though I've done some legal research for law firms and legal publishers). I've written articles and book reviews for magazines (both consumer and trade/professional) and local newspapers. I've also written a variety of marketing and promotional materials for businesses, non-profits and professional associations. I've written a grant application for a non-profit, and a script for a fundraising video, along with marketing collateral for the fundraiser.

My fiction includes one hardboiled mystery novel, IDENTITY CRISIS, issued through a POD press, and two published short stories--one in an anthology called CHESAPEAKE CRIMES, and the other in The Back Alley, an e-zine at http://BackAlleyWebzine.com. I'll have a third short story coming out in CHESAPEAKE CRIMES 4 in March 2010.

I have other novels and short stories that are written or in progress. So, if anyone knows an agent or publisher, I'm still looking . . . :)

Best wishes,
Debbi

Hi All,

I just joined the list serve and would like to introduce myself.  I'm a friend of Kathy Jentz of Washington Gardener Magazine.  I live in NW DC close to the Takoma metro and work independently as a home & office organizer, working throughout the metro area at residences and small offices. 

My experience includes what I call 'all rooms, all stuff', including paper management, clothes, closets, kitchens, etc., providing a single organizer or team of organizers as needed for one-time service, ongoing projects, followup services, and periodic 'tune-ups' as needed.  All services are confidential, personalized, and nonjudgmental! 

Take a look at my website at www.just-that-simple.net to learn more about my organizing philosophy and services.  I do love organizing and believe that everyone should be able to find the things they need (and put them away again), meet deadlines, welcome visitors without stress or embarrassment, and feel relaxed and productive whether at home or at work. 

I look forward to meeting you all at Vicino on Nov 20th.  Be in touch before then if you'd like to ask questions about organizing needs (for yourself or your clients). 

Sincerely,
Judy

Just a quick bug in your ear to think about what great business book you'd like to recommend to our group
-- bringing it to show & pass around would be helpful too
 
BTW if you are new=ish on this list, feel free to post an intro of yourself, we are due for a roll-call in any case

Dan - I am forwarding this to a local Silver Spring group of independents that meet monthly; you may remember a couple of years ago, Deana putting it out on the List should someone in the community care to join them for lunch.  There are a number of people who do this sort of work.

Hello,

The current format has been great and I would like to see it continue. If there is enough interest it would be nice to have an additional opportunity for sharing experiences. Happy to help organize if Susan and others want to try out a "sub" group. Thanks.

Our Nov 20 lunch at Vicino's on great biz books is the last one scheduled for the year.
We then have Dec off.
I'm looking for direction for next year's lunch bunch schedule -- what works, what doesn't, etc..
We can incorporate Susan's suggestions or create sub-groups or keep on as is or go a totally new different way.
Your thoughts are welcome.

Hey, everyone.  I'm loving this group and getting to know you all better and am wondering if it's time for the Lunch Bunch to give birth?
 
Imagine another regular get-together that's more of a traditional support group for work issues we're having, where we spend time talking about whatever's on top for each person, not one chosen topic for everyone.
 
Also, we'd meet where we can all sit together and be heard - a more support-group- like space like a living room or maybe a coffee shop or restaurant IF it's not at a busy time for them.
 
I know I'll still be joining the larger group for lunches, but I could sure use a Self-Employed Support Group, in addition, esp if it's stocked with folks like y'all who have so much to teach me.
 
If you're interested  just write me directly at Susan@Sustainable- Gardening. com adn we can chit-chat logistics among ourselves, offline.
