In the past couple of years, the jawboning directed toward China has moved on from IP infringement — stealing content! — to currency manipulation — stealing jobs! Last month, China found a way to blunt the pressure without actually doing very much, announcing that the value of the RMB would no longer be fixed against the dollar, but would float at a carefully managed level — not yet noticeably different from the fixed value. And this may be essentially the same tack China has taken with the IP issue

Opera, which was born in Italy at the end of the 16th century, is struggling for survival in the country of its birth. The demand for tickets is falling; according to one estimate, the number of operagoers in Italy has fallen, over the years, by 20%.

As the summer is winding down here in the northern half of the world, it’s easy to feel frustrated. Writers have a tendency to lock ourselves in our offices sitting behind our computers and getting lost in our own minds. Let’s face it. Even if we’re writing from the beach, we’re still trapped behind our laptops and usually lost in our own minds. With just a few weeks left before children head back to school and we lose yet another sunny day, let’s take a few minutes to remember that writing can be addictive, but it’s important for our mental and physical health to step away from our computers, escape from our minds, and enjoy life.

I’ve been having an exchange with a Kontera rep about implementing their ads on this and other sites I own. As you might already know I’m not a huge fan of Google’s Adsense network, although we still use them here minimally. While I plan to keep advertisements to a minimum on this site, other than promoting my own products and affiliate products I test and can honestly recommend, I’d like to test them for a few weeks in addition to the ads we currently run.

When a client signs a contract with you, as a freelance writer, he’s paying for your writing ability. Without prior permission from your clients, you should never hand off any of the writing involved in a project to someone else. But that doesn’t mean that there’s nothing in your work flow that you can outsource.
It is nearly impossible to find a corporate network today that doesn’t have a connection to the Internet.

I recently received an interesting reader question from Jazmin of Capital Web Writing . Her question was about whether or not it would be appropriate for her hubby to accompany her to a conference, especially given his unique quirks. She gave me permission to share the email and my thoughts here.

Earlier I blogged about a writer who was obviously able to string together words , as she wrote for Salon.com, but I questioned her business skills, as she wrote term papers for cash (gasp!) and her rate was way too low for such work anyway. I hypothesized that this writer is probably writing these cheapo papers because she has no business savvy.

If I had to name one food that I couldn’t live without, chocolate would be right up there. Salted butter is on that short list, too. Seeded bagels, California dried apricots, black and white cookies , osetra caviar (if money, and sustainability, were no object), lobster rolls, French fries, and really good fried chicken would also be on that list.

After my recent lament about the state of bistros in Paris, where I noted that the wine bars in Paris often had the best food, when my friend Rochelle who owns Chefwear was in town this week, I wanted to go somewhere casual, where we’d be assured of good, honest food.

I had a really strange few days this past week. I’ve taken on some new work, streamlined my current projects so I can take most weekends off and started to jot down ideas for the book I’ve been trying to write for a while. I should have been ecstatic, but instead I found it particularly difficult to get – and stay – motivated
