Or, you panic or anything here (because I’m sure that so many people continually hit refresh at paradox9.com *sigh* sarcastic blogger moment). The website has taken a bit of a newer look, it’s a lot cleaner and much easier to navigate (the almost invisible links in the sidebar are now replaced with really easy to read ones, among other things).

The Bacon Shirt Ahh, bacon the greasy streaky goodness renowned the world over for it horrible-for-you-deliciousness. Is there nothing bacon can’t do? No, the answer is no. Tweet This Post ...
Besides being a literary giant amongst us mere mortals, Earnest Hemingway’s advice is truly ageless and still holds as true today, as it did when Hemingway originally penned it.

No, crossing your fingers and wishing upon stars doesn’t count. At all. Sorry champ, but you do need an actual strategy and plan (besides, it’s rather overcast around me right now– if I can’t wish on any stars– no one can). Look ...
For someone just starting out without a whole lot of back work, it can seem beyond impossible to get work coming in. You need your foot in the door, and have no clue how to get it there. Starting out writing or designing online is a great way to work, and the job’s hours are unbeatable but if you can’t find the work it’s just another dream. Be honest ...
