Blowing my own Trumpet
March 25th 2008 03:00
I’ve spent the weekend writing pieces for the Triond site. It’s one of those places where once you’ve written the piece it stays there forever (whatever that means in terms of the Internet) and you keep getting (small) amounts of money for it.
I’d determined recently to write at least a piece a week, but haven’t been doing that due to other things getting in the way. So with the Easter break I’ve managed to do a bit of catching up on my ‘schedule.’
These four articles have all appeared in the last two days.
Blowing My Own Trumpet. This is a piece about trying to promote yourself on the Net. I’m taking yet another approach to trying to make my writing more visible.
Friends for Life. This one looks at some of the books on my shelves and concludes that some of them make better friends than the real people I know. Hmmm. This is a piece that never found a home previously.
The Delightful Lives at 44 Scotland St. Another 'rehash' - in the best sense. I've taken the four book reviews I've done of the four episodes in Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland St series and woven them together into a long overview. It's called recycling.
Support Your Local Circus. This was written new and fresh yesterday after I went to see Weber Brothers' Circus in Mosgiel, one of the outer suburbs of Dunedin (the city I live in). It's a lovely little circus, full of energy and life, with clowns that are genuinely funny, and some wonderful Asian acrobats. And three absolutely crazy motorcyclists racing around and around inside what seems a very tiny metal globe.
So go read, people!
