My best friend was in town this weekend, so it was a non-stop food fest, and a chance to play tourist in my own city. I was back online last night, though, after a day working on a rather chewy writing project for a 3-letter government agency. Here’s what caught my eye since last we spoke:
Brilliant and sad and so true
My new time suck
How neglect impacts the brains of children
A letter from one mother to another
Really enjoyed this beautifully written piece
Some very smart advice on criticism from writer Elizabeth Gilbert (applies to non-writers, as well)
Speaking of writing–how a ritual can lead to success
Fascinating take on the sexy halloween costume
How your refusal to take vacations is impacting your kids
And finally, when I am in need of ways to procrastinate, you can be certain I will be trying these out
