Do you know someone who is an editor of a paying publication? Please send me her email address. I interview editors on a monthly basis for a writer’s magazine and my first deadline is days away. I have emailed many people and have surprisingly gotten no responses.
We all have days when we want to tell someone, “Get a clue!” Sometimes, we’re guilty of being the ones who need to get a clue. Going blank and doing things we normally wouldn’t do happens to all of us. In this month’s The Remediator Security Digest, learn about the things we could do that [...]
Expect my blogs to be quieter in the next few days, maybe longer depending how long the union employees at the company I work for go on strike.
