What I’ve Been Up To Lately
May 11th, 2012
–I’m now writing for Buzzfeed weekly, and super-excited to be so doing. My beat will be books and tech, so I’ll be writing about tech books (like Andrew Keen’s forthcoming Digital Vertigo), and books with a significant tech presence (like Gary Shtyengart’s Super Sad True Love Story, the theme of my first post, here).
–CBC’s Day 6 interviewed me about spelling. Listen to it, and read the comments (can you guess whether they are positive or negative?) here
–My second “How To Pitch” course is underway, and this group is phenomenal. People are posting pitches daily, and receiving many comments from other participants. We’ve had one sale, some internal challenges, and lots of chat about how freelancing really works.
–Otherwise, I have been moving sweet woodruff from one place to another in my garden, my copy of Bring Up The Bodies arrived, and I got crazy points for spelling “qwerty” on Spell Tower.
