To be a Writer, you must WRITE

Today is the first day of National Novel Writing Month. I heard about it through my writing group; but, since there’s little chance any of us (in the group) will write a novel this month, we are challenging ourselves to at least write something every day of November. For many bloggers, posting every day is nothing new. In fact, my belovedContinue reading “To be a Writer, you must WRITE”

So far, I’ve attended two events, and I stillContinue reading “My Lucky Break – LUCKYRICE, Part 1”

Tuesday’s Top Five: Reasons to take Food Blogging Class

Is it shilling if you admit it in the first place? Full disclosure: For those of you who don’t know this already, I work at the International Culinary Center (the French Culinary Institute). What you may not know is that this blog started as an assignment for the pilot class of Food Blogging With StevenContinue reading “Tuesday’s Top Five: Reasons to take Food Blogging Class”

Post Script: The Future of Food Media

Ten days later I’m finally getting to the follow-up on the panel discussion, Word of Mouth: Online Media and the Future of Food Writing that I attended on January 7 at the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe. For the one or two of you who read this blog (thank you!), my lateness won’t be such aContinue reading “Post Script: The Future of Food Media”
