An Audio Blog
My first audio blog after the cut
How to Explain Blogging to the Old Folks
I posted an entry in Performancing yesterday and forgot to share it here. Here’s an excerpt of my entry, “How to Explain Blogging to the Old Folks”:
Last week, my mother’s two old aunts came over for lunch. The elder of them was so old; she walks by shuffling her feet forward like a Chinese granny […]
Karma: A Short Story
I joined WritersWeekly’s Fall 2007 Short StoryContest last September. The web site updated with the list of winners earlier. I’m included in the list of honorable mention (see pic above). Too bad. Maybe in another couple of tries, I’ll be in the top three I promised a friend I’d show her my story, so […]
Dumbledore is Gay
I’m still very busy but I read my best friend’s blog and had this big goofy grin stuck on my face. What can I say? I’ve always known.
JK outs Dumbledore
And apparently, he was in love with…Gellert Grindelwald. So that was the reason why he kept on delaying defeating the evil wizard.
My long-time internet friend, aoireeza, has a hunch; “Snape is madonna. Harry’s britney spears, and Draco’s favorite […]
Mariella, The Busy Bee
The reason why I haven’t been able to post recently is because I have 25 tech articles, 11 blog posts and 3 magazine pieces to finish by Saturday. And it’s already Thursday!!! I’m doomed…The gimmick for this blog I’ve been planning since I started it would have to wait until next week…
Blog Action Day
BLOG ACTION DAY
I signed up for Blog Action Day and I was supposed to blog about the environment last October 15. I realized I updated the wrong blog for it. Here is a link to my post for Blog Action Day.
City Lights
CITY LIGHTS
by: Mariella
Living in the midst of the warren
I got swept by the tides of the throng
Here I am, one of the crowd
A faceless stranger without identity
I trod the streets without a purpose
Holding my high, not meeting anyone’s eyes
With many, I live in close proximity
But someone I can call neighbor, there is none
I do […]
A Follow-up On Free Samples
As a follow up on free samples for my prior post, here’s a conversation we had some time ago in Deb’s blog:
S. says:
Not to kill the school topic (which is very interesting), but some of you may remember me asking a potential client for a nominal fee to send her further samples pertaining to her […]
A Guide for Writers: How Not to Get Screwed Over
Since a lot of my friends have gotten screwed over recently, I just thought I’d share some tips with everyone here.
1. Do NOT write samples for FREE. Professional writers do not work for free. Those who write samples for free are either a) newbies OR b) clueless (no offense, but that’s usually the truth).
Do you see any other professional working […]
Third Day: Muse Online Conference
Again, I totally missed my chats! I was so busy with work when my first real-time chat conference started (How to Self-edit Your MG Novel). So I just logged in the chatroom, left it open while I worked and saved the transcript afterwards. Haven’t read it yet.
In the meantime, I can’t wait to […]
