One Halloween long ago...
Articles with valuable advice…
- Are you a freelancer writer or journalist entre-preneur? Great words for thought. I consider myself a small business that provides writing services. Writing isn’t all I do — I still have to do marketing, networking and all that fun stuff.
- How to Work ON Your Business, Not IN it: Step back… breathe… think…
- It Takes All Kinds: How does a really bad book keep selling?
- The World’s Greatest Marketer: How a woman’s powerful plight turns her into a strong marketer and what we can learn from her.
And for fun because we’re allowed…
- @tweetsofold: Follow @tweetsofold for fascinating and funny headlines from old timey newspapers.
- Is It Normal?: We all have questions (not me, of course — heh) that make us wonder whether we’re normal… but we don’t have the courage to ask. Now you have a place to find out.
- 25 Inspirational Pumpkin Carvings: Death Star is most impressive — can’t believe pumpkin didn’t cave.
- Top Ten Mouthwatering Museums: Chocolate… Do not view on empty stomach unless you don’t mind raiding the nearest pantry or convenience store.
Ah, I love Halloween. Such a fun day. Although it’s steered away from its original meaning, it gives us all (at least in the U.S.) an excuse to have fun at the office, school, and wherever. Received an email from a friend contains photos from a company that goes all out in decorating cubicles.
My little one gets to wear his costume to school today. He’s Leo from the The Little Einsteins. Not many people will recognize the character. He also has Rocket with all four of the characters, so you can see he looks like Leo complete with red-hair, glasses and orange stripe on the black shirt.
The other son is the scream ghost and the daughter is a pirate. Paul has a Big Bad Wolf costume that is a hit with the kids and I finally got myself one, Daisy Duck. It may be too warm for the wolfie costume as the high for today is supposed to be 80.
Steve Bass of PC World posted two entries with links to various Halloween fun. Poynter also has Halloween-related links.
Check out the monster pumpkin at Wall Street Journal.
Here’s a YouTube video of a pumpkin carving itself. Took a lot of time and patience! Showcase of pumpkins.
