"Just imagine how much you'd get done
...if you stopped actively sabotaging your own work.
We must be talented, powerful and resilient creatures indeed given how much we manage to produce despite the constant undercutting, ridicule and needless censorship we aim at ourselves."

Seth, I hear you... this has been on my mind a lot lately. I sabotage my own work by not starting early enough, doubting my ability to be successful or innovate, think about my past mistakes (missed edits, unsuccessful marketing campaigns, typos, etc.) more than the things I've brought to the table that helped move things forward.
Time to get to it and get stuff done.
D-U-N, done!
Hi all!
I've not written any news for some time, as I've been mostly publishing things that are not much fun. (example: I'm freelancing for the real estate section of all things).
However, good news in the form of a new course I'm teaching at Warren Wilson College here in sunny Swannanoa. I currently teach "Intro to the Media" a hybrid class where first part of the semester is similar to our own WP687 class, and last half of semester is devoted to copyediting and public relations. I've been wanting to teach a features workshop for some time, and I pitched it hard this semester and it landed! I teach "feature writing" this Spring here at Warren Wilson and am framing it as a workshop. It will include environmental journalism, travel pieces, humor pieces, profiles and more. Yay!
Best to all.
