Crunch. Squeak. Slam. August has hit the brakes.

Can’t quite recall what happened this past month? Me neither. Good thing there’s Google. And the “filter by month” post feature in WordPress.

Without further ado … here’s a hand-picked bouquet of the last 30 days. It’s a Unicornicopia!

For your perusal:

♥ How To Maximize A Freak-Out Session. Building a freelance career isn’t all Beyonce and bubble tea. There’s heartache and dry heaving, too. Fear not! Three tips to ferry you through the funk.

♥ Gigs, Rates, Love + the Near Future. A little teaser about things to come. P.S. I’ve hired Rebecca Pollock to design my new website, and she’s the bee’s knees. Patient. Insightful. Pro-fessional.

♥ Rock the Tabula Rasa: Why Being a “Blank Slate” Is Pretty Damn Fine. Want a job? But got no applicable skills? Don’t lie + fluff. Just re-package and glow.

Shameless Self-Promotion, Events + Updates:

♥ Blades of Glory. The vivacious Nailah Blades of Polka Dot Coaching interviewed me about job-quittin’ + quarter-life crisis management. P.S. Keep it locked right here for a special guest-post announcement from Ms. Blades on the morrow.

♥ Buh-bye, Brooklyn. Hello, LA. My NYC sojourn has ended, and after a brief respite at my Twin Cities Haus, I’m bounding over to the City of Angels for a 10-day sojourn. Wanna say “hi” in person — in a public, non-axe-murdery place? Let me know!

♥ Ring Ring, Plz. I finally crawled out of my troglodyte cave and upgraded to a smartphone, so now I’m itching for any excuse to stroke the purdy touch-screen buttons. Well shucks, here’s a thought: you can book a FREE 15-minute consultation call to hash out your writing, editing and organizational woes.

♥ Oh, and hey. I updated my own resume the other day. Practicing what I preach. And all that.

Sally forth, September!
