Things wordy, geeky, and webbyLinks: Happy Birthday, Mom 2010 Edition
Friday, December 3rd, 2010 at 11:31 AM |My mom and several dear friends all have their birthdays on the last three days of November. Anyone out there have a birthday at the end of November? I’m betting we could become fast friends 
Yes, with only 365 (366 in leap year) days for the picking to be born… we’re bound to know people with birthdays around the same time. I have a few friends that share the same birthday as me. However, having that many special people with birthdays so close together isn’t playing the odds.
Mom and me, August 2010
I could write about how awesome my mom is, but I’ll forgo that. One, she’ll cry. Two, how many ways can a gal say her mom rocks and how many times have you heard it? I won’t bore you, but know that I’m lucky have her for a mother and can see why many people speak highly of her. Great, I probably broke #1. (Yes, she reads my blog. Now she’s probably gonna email me and ask why I posted this in public.)
December. Wow. And Hanukkah is early this year. It started on the evening of December 1. Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate.
Brain food…
- How I Kept My Freelance Business Intact During Relocation: My family won’t be moving for a long, long time. We’re happy with our school system and the program it has for one of my kids. Freelancing certainly gives us the freedom to live wherever we want unless you have many local clients.
- Fake Writing Jobs: RealWritingJobs.com: I’ve been getting these tweets, too. Thank you, Victoria Strauss, for telling the story so you won’t have to translate the terms and conditions. Twitter has suspended some of these accounts. Yeah!
- What Your Clients Want and Deserve: Another winner from Lori Widmer.
- Yes, Virginia, there is a way to give title comps: Why and how you should compare your book to competitors in your book proposal. I did this when I wrote my book proposal, and it provides great insight to do this part. It will help you make your book better.
And for fun because we’re allowed…
- 12 Ugliest Book Covers: Not just the obscure books…
- 12 of the World’s Ugliest Building: Yes, another “12″ — must be in honor of December, the 12th month. Yes, another from Oddee. But it’s in honor of my mom who loves building designs, especially Frank Lloyd Wright. My sister gave her a Lego set of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water that Mom put together herself. First time since my brother was a kid.
- You Went to the University of … What? I’m from Texas where we’re known for being football fanatics. I joke that American University (my alum) isn’t a real school because it doesn’t have a football program [Link: Liz Kline]
- 15 of the Lamest Google Ads Ever: Sometimes logarithms get it wrong…
Since Hanukkah involves lots of candles and I love candles, I’ll ask you: What’s your favorite candle?
Me? Ooh, toughie. For summer, I liked Party Lite’s Spiced Plum that’s not made anymore. I tend to like variations of cinnamons. In my office with me is Home Interiors’ Baked Apple Pie. Delightful cinnamony fruity scent.
