I’m excited, thrilled, proud, exhausted, blurry-eyed. But there it is, the site we’ve been working on all year. Looking forward to building it out in 2009 and beyond.
Check it out and let me know what you think.

Why We Blog
20-Oct-08An interesting discussion about blogging and journalism broke out during the Blogging and Your Writing Career panel I took part in last weekend. I made the point that many bloggers practice journalism as well — or better — than traditional print journalists. More on that in an excellent new Andrew Sullivan piece:
In fact, for all the intense gloom surrounding the news-paper and magazine business, this is actually a golden era for journalism. The blogosphere has added a whole new idiom to the act of writing and has introduced an entirely new generation to nonfiction. It has enabled writers to write out loud in ways never seen or understood before. And yet it has exposed a hunger and need for traditional writing that, in the age of television’s dominance, had seemed on the wane.
‘Blogging and Your Writing Career’
18-Oct-08I’ll be speaking about blogging on a panel at the Going Freelance Seminar in Washington D.C. today, an event co-sponsored by Johns Hopkins University Masters of Arts in Writing Program and American Independent Writers. It’s an all-day seminar. My panel starts at 3 p.m. If you’re there, please stop by and say hello.
Not much more content so far, but it’s on the way. I’m in the process of upgrading the site. It will include, among other things, professional updates, shameless self-promotion and a blog. Check back soon.
