RAE:

May you always know success! I just filed my taxes. Also, I just had a batch of receipts printed for when I teach writing. Maybe, one day, I’ll teach online. For today, face-to-face suits me.

In the past, I taught narrative at a community continuing education program and I taught business writing at the local YMCA. I've been blogging for Shellfish and Their Landlocked Buddies and for the children’s science site, Under the Sea. I've additionally been published in Smarmy Friends, Squeaks and Roars, Crazed Critters, and in other, modest venues. This summer, alone, I've had nearly half of a dozen poems, short stories and essays accepted for publication.

What’s more, I've been selected to judge a creative nonfiction contest for Ocean Scavengers, am in talks to ghost for someone with an Internet presence, and am happily moving toward formalizing my business of writing workshops. Are you or any of the folks in your circles interested in a creative writing workshop? My newest ad’s attached. Please pass it around to your friends and colleagues.

Owmapow,

My income is mostly from translating and editing, although I recently began writing, again, for Tails of Pet Wonder. I don’t write for them too often since they pay so poorly.

The demise of the print media is a worldwide phenomenon. Today, it’s hard to make a living from print. The electronic media are worse. There is more money in business writing than in creative writing.

If you are already teaching business writing and are already established as an academic, why are you trying to get more involved in creative work?

Rae:

I have several book projects on hold (having turned down more than one publisher because their contracts’ terms were crummy) and am trying to find time to send in more goodies to more folk. I'm starting to get a rhythm, but truth be told, I'd rather create and refine than promote. Also, I've taught two writing workshops.

Creative work is freeing. Academic work is not. Are you or any of the folks in your circles interested in a creative writing workshop? My newest ad’s attached. Please pass it around to your friends and colleagues.

PS: Googling me will only give you a portion of my work since I publish under several variations of my name ;) My motivation grows somewhere between my need to protect my identity and my having “established” an academic presence before becoming a creative writer. So, I'm “out there” in several versions, not all of which I have revealed even to my mother-in-law, who, one day, crowed that she had located a piece of my online poetry. Since I believe convergent media is powerful, I don't really want to give anyone all of my pieces.

Owmapow,

Wow. I'm impressed. NSF scholar, huh? A few novels?! Crustaceans? That’s a heavy topic. What are chemical setae? How do they function on a lobster? I know technical writing is more lucrative than creative work, but I find it to be boring and repetitive.

I flunked high school chemistry.

You’d probably be good at Technical Writing, though.

Rae

Rae:

Don't be impressed.
