At the NYCWC Write Your A** Off Write-A-Thon

Gwen, her friend Pauline and I are the New York City Writer's Coalition annual write-a-thon Raising money for free writers workshops across the city. Writer Nicholas Dawidoff is lunchtime speaker. Picture of is 'prompt station' if you get stuck. We're also doing a workshop at 2PM.

The space in midtown is the library of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen and the Center for Independent Publishing. Beautiful.

Worked on a submission for This I Believe and next week's column for The Faster Times.

Internet Week, Tire Safety Month and Father’s Day: June is Busy with Awareness

Publishing the new The Faster Times advertising column a day early this week: Internet Week, Tire Safety Month and Father’s Day: June is Busy with Awareness

Talks about Internet Week in New York City but also about all the awareness weeks and months in general and what they accomplish. Please add your comments and thoughts on this at the article (there, not here) since I think it's a rich topic and I'd be curious for other data and thoughts you've seen in doing work around them or inspired by them.

Advertising Jobs: 5 Great Careers You Don’t Know

Second column in The Faster Times: Advertising Jobs: 5 Great Careers You Don’t Know

Hope you'll read it and comment (there, not here) and even join The Faster Times as a member — and choose me as your favorite writer when that's setup. I think this is a great topic and I'm sure my summaries don't do the career paths justice but opening up opportunities especially during such a tight job market hopefully is help to some people who want to get into the business but don't see all the openings that actually exist.
