mourning an imminent loss
aly hawkins
I’m sure Chad & Erica would appreciate prayers and interfaith kind thoughts today. Their faithful pooch, Copland, has bone cancer and is having an epic, fun-filled last day with his devoted family. Maybe C will update later…? Until then, much love…

Because the world doesn't have enough blogs
aly hawkins
Hi, kids. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve started my own blog, wherein I bloviate on writing and editing, and at some point in the near future, deep-fried vs. pan-fried chicken (spoiler alert: pan-fried). I may cross-post here occasionally, when the topic is not too deep in the weeds of editorial minutia. Come on over.

The Economy Comes Home
aly hawkins
Hey, peeps. So … the economic badness trickled down to me on Friday and I got laid off. It was weird. And sad, because I truly loved my job. I worked for the company, a Christian publishing house, for nearly 5 years and had many wonderful work friends. They were sad to see me go, too, which is nice. Damn you, downsizing.
Anyway, this is suddenly a great time for me to build my freelance writing and editing business. I sent out an email to everyone on my contact list, but I thought it might not be too tacky to give AddRd readers a heads-up as well. Here is what I wrote:
“Need stand-out copy for your website, your catalog or mailer, a radio or TV spot or product packaging? I’m your man … er, girl. Wondering who on earth knows when and when not to use a semi-colon? Wonder no longer; I know. Praying for the perfect collaborative writer for your soon-to-be critically acclaimed, surprise bestseller, Canine Soteriology: Do Dogs Go to Heaven? Your prayers have been answered! I love project development and speculative theology. And dogs.
In short, I’d like to charge you shockingly reasonable rates for smithing words. When next you or those on your contact list (wink, nudge) are in the market for words smithed within an inch of their lives, I hope you will get in touch.
I sincerely appreciate your consideration and I look forward to working with you. Blessings,
Aly Hawkins

Thanks for letting me pimp my wares. Thanks, too, in advance to all you praying types for the intercession on Ash’s and my behalf.

MMORPG voters

WoW polling. I’m not even a geek (or an elf), and I laughed aloud with +27 spirit.
