It’s been quiet on the blog front lately, and I apologize for that.  June was a busy month and I’ve been very, very, fortunate.

I love writing and I’m thankful to everyone who’s given me the opportunity to get my work out there.

First off, I’m happy to announce that I’m now a contributing writer for Women on Business. This is an absolutely phenomenal website that features articles and other bits of wisdom from an impressive panel of female entrepreneurs. Going forward, I’ll be contributing to WoB every other Friday. Click here to read my first article.

I’m a feature writer in the Volume 2 Issue 4 – July 2009 issue of Soundline Magazine. Click here, here, and here to read my articles.

My book review for Free From Lies, the latest by famed psychologist Alice Miller, will be published on Feminist Review on July 11 - and I’m still regularly posting to Quietcolor. To view my articles, visit QC and type “cheryl” into the search key.

I’ve set up a mailing list. You can click here to subscribe. I have no idea how to use it yet, but what I plan to do is send out a monthly newsletter that will contain links to everything I’ve worked on as well as some other fun things (recipes? music recommendations? maybe something even cooler???) The first letter will be out sometime around the end of July. It’ll probably be full of coding mistakes and whatnot, but bear with me OK? I’m new to this!!

Your regularly-scheduled blogging will assume shortly … maybe later today? I have a few things I’d like to get off my chest and Chapter 3 of my “Diary of a Freelancer” series will be coming up soon.  In my upcoming installment I’ll be looking at some of the ways freelancers can avoid being taken advantage of.  Sad to say but there are a lot of people out there who associate the term “freelancer” with the term “sucker”.  I seem to be meeting these guys on a regular basis and they keep trying to steal and/or mangle my work!

Grr.

But enough of that for now.  I’m off to put some finishing touches on a couple other  WIPs.

Cheers!
