It’s been a busy week. I have so much to catch up on after returning home from BlogWorld late Sunday night. In addition to writing and blogging, I’m following through on all the connections I made while networking there. Networking is fun, it’s great to meet people and share ideas. When you return home though, the follow up is the most important part. All those connections mean nothing unless you build them into relationships.
We launched a small forum a few weeks ago but I’ve been so busy I haven’t promoted it. Please look around and sign up. We’d love to have you join us.

For those of you who have been following the Demand Studios hubbub, there is an excellent article in WIRED magazine this month about Demand studios . . . you can decide for yourself if indeed they are a sweatshop for writers and editors.
Light leads today-bummer! Looking forward to tomorrow!
Honestly, I think there will always be two sides to any job.
For four years, I worked as a travel agent in the 1990s. The top agent was paid $7 an hour, the rest of us made minimum wage. All of us scraped to get bills paid, yet I can’t count how many times someone would come in and tell us how jealous they were that we had such a glorious job. It’s all in the eye of the beholder.
Sure we got to travel some, but even when the flight and hotel were covered by the company, there were things that we had to pay for. Transportation to and from the airport, money spent in excess of what the owners told us we could spend on meals, spending money on tours not on the itinerary, alcoholic drinks, room service, gifts for those back home or souvenirs during the trip came from our own pocket.
Demand Studios is the same thing. Some hate it, some love it. I still say, if you don’t like it, no one is forcing you to work there so move on.
