While I was on RRB Radio last week (you can catch the replay here), we talked about several tips for eBay Trading Assistants. Apparently that segment caused some confusion so I want to take this opportunity to clear some things up because I'm getting phone calls. If you want to hire a local Trading Assistant

The Love of Three Oranges is moving to Playscripts, Inc!

I've got some exciting news I've just been itching to share with you! My play, The Love of Three Oranges which is based off the commedia dell arte scenario by Carlo Gozzi, will be joining the Playscripts catalog before the end of the year.
Both my playwright page and the page for the play itself on the Playscripts website are still under construction so there isn't much to look at at the moment but expect that to fill up in the near future. I've been busting my butt getting t...

My Book

I have a tendency to refer to whatever I'm currently reading as "my book."
Of course, I also refer to the book I'm writing as "my book."

The Calm Before the Norm

I just returned from a glorious two week vacation, the longest vacation I've taken in my entire life (unless you count when I was really little and had no clue what was going on).

3 Reasons every eBay seller should be automatically leaving positive feedback when payment
When eBay took away the ability for sellers to leave anything other than positive feedback, a lot of sellers decided they were done with feedback entirely. Some sellers don't leave feedback at all while others only leave it only once the buyer has left it for them. But whatever display of passive resistance these sellers

BookGem: How I learned to love hands-free reading

Disclaimer: The links in this post are Amazon Associate links because, why not? But I seriously love this product and this review is unsolicited.
I've bored you all to tears with the stories of my various hand issues but one of the most annoying side effects of the pain in my hands was that holding things for any length of time was very uncomfortable. I would try to rest my hands by staying off the computer and reading a book instead, only to find that holding a book open was ...
