Great advice for both the beginning and veteran freelancer. I'd love to have a better sense of what I can deduct and not.

Super helpful, Mike. Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoyed getting to know Nancy a little bit. Are you Digaboom beta user? What's your story? Do you want to be profiled in our blog? Let me know in the comments and we'll be in touch.

Great stuff Chad - I really like the way you explained your process and made clear how chat aligns with Digaboom's vision of being the best matchmaker.

It's looking good so far. Can't wait to see the next stages.

Re: What Would You Ask 2,500 Nonprofits?

I'd love to hear how nonprofits are willing to spend developing marketing and branding capacity versus outsourcing or hiring a firm.

This was really helpful and just the right length. Thanks!

Re: Editorial Ethics and Respecting Respect

Great point. I will have to use different sources and different angles
should I resell the idea. I'm more worried about protecting other writers
from the same type of thing. I'm moving on to bigger and better markets.

Thanks Steve. I'm interested in moving beyond this particular magazine and
so more inclined to action that will protect my fellow writers than getting
one more gig out of this. I'm less worried about reselling the pitch,
because I never wrote the article. I will just have to come up with new
sources if I pitch elsewhere.

Thanks again,

Todd

I will contact a few other people I know who work regularly for the magazine
so they know to be less forthright with their sources if they care about
this type of thing.

Thanks Rhys - He's been reasonable so far, but who knows? I am leaning
towards the suggestion of a "research fee" in lieu of an article. I'm not
that interested in creating a whole new assignment for this magazine.

Hi Kerry -

I agree. Although I am interested in moving beyond this particular
magazine, I see no reason antagonize the editor just for the sake of it.

Hi all. Thank you for your comments and feedback. I haven't heard back from the editor yet and may not until I follow up next week. I am inclined to bill him for the hours spent on the requested research and leave it at that. I am not inclined to "out" him or his magazine, or change the way I interact with editors.

I'll post it here or on my blog when anything happens. Again, thank you for the wisdom.

Thanks. I'll keep you posted on my progress. I borrowed a cool microphone from a drummer friend, so I've got no excuse.

The best US keeper ever has to be Brad Friedel in 2002 for just that World Cup run.

Thanks Mark --- I greatly appreciate your kind words. I checked out your
site as well. It's got some great stuff. I particularly like the post on
the Vasa ship. I've been to that museum a few times and it never fails to
impress. From the museum, head inward on the island to Rosendahls, a garden
café that is unrivaled.

Good luck with it.

Best wishes,

Todd

Hughes is actually working on a follow-up to this book focusing specifically
on islands. I look forward to seeing what is included there. Islands are
such interesting case studies in cultures, environments, and wildlife. I'd
love to head to the Galapagos as well.

Re: Vote Like a Transcendentalist

RTFelton — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:21:44 -0000

I hadn't seen this poem either. Thanks for posting. Whitman knew a hell of
a lot more than people of the time thought. He took Transcendentalism out
of New England and stretched it to fit the country. Just like a t-shirt
gets warped when you stretch it over a bull, Transcendentalism didn't look
the same when Whitman got done with it, but it was Transcendentalism all the
same.

There is something about that type of construction that plays tricks with
sound...I hope.
