There is a subtle yet important art in making links on the web. I'd like to share a word of two about it. Some people (like web designers. bloggers and other weird creatures) make links daily while the others do it every now and then. But we all do it sometimes. I hear you asking why should that be important at all and why would you care, especially if you are in the latter group. Here's why and here's how. Read more…

You go to the dentist twice a year, right? That way, you have your teeth checked and if something's wrong dentist repairs it before it's too late. Otherwise, things might get messy and painful. What could be a quick check-up turns into a series of torture sessions.

While this post is a part of Peevish Penman's blog fest about writing, it actually applies to any kind of creative work. I'll talk about writing, but it goes the same for painting, making music, origami folding, whatever. Actually, it's a simple truth that works for any area of human activity, not only for artsy stuff.

I couldn't believe it when I heard it. I still can't. It takes a reminder on how the big world works and how crazy some people are to make some sense of the story.
