Comment on Cold-calls and Madison Maclean recruitment by Paul Duncan

I had one agent cold call me every 3 months for nearly two years. I told him repeatedly I was happy where I was. After two years of this he got annoyed and accused me of wasting his time!!

Comment on Writer’s block and Project52 by Chris Casciano

I jumped on the project for many of the same reasons — I had written more regularly in the past and more recently I felt like I had passed up opportunities to post things because I wasn’t in the groove.

bq. work has been fairly unspectacular and I’ve not been especially creative so I’m lacking anything of true substance to talk about or teach

I’m hitting this as well. In the past most of my writing has been spurred by realizing there was something I had been repeatedly discussing or teaching at work, with clients, or in online forums of some type. The begging of the year hasn’t brought these new opportunities and I’ve sorta felt bad for not having more web topics to write about.

What I have done in this case is two things — going back over those articles ideas I had skipped over in the past and looking for ones I’m still energized about [like the piece I'm trying to finish today] and writing about non-web stuff I’m working through in my head [in my case photography and photo geek stuff].

That all said, I think its fine to get blocked for a week or two and to wait until you have something you want to say. It may be going against the “rules” of project 52 not to post every week, but if you’re sticking with it and get back in the groove soon then I don’t think you’re straying too far from the goal — to get back to regularly writing and sharing.

Good luck with it!

Perhaps you could write about the correct use of prepositions, and why “suggestions of what to write about” is a particularly egregious example of trying to get a clever tweet out too fast?

Or what the grammatical equivalent of “spellchecking” is.

Failing that, iframes sounds fine. :)
