[stylist] Reintroducing Myself

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Joe

Good for you! You are coming back to your creative side and to us! (Not
saying that writing for employment/work is not a form of creative writing.
Over the past month, I spent all my available creative time and juice to put
together a script for an employment workshop that we here at the Commission
for the blind are going to present to our consumers. This workshop will be
entirely interactive, meaning active learning versus passive learning. In
the past we mostly had speakers, panels and short little technology
demonstration types of presentations. This one is the consumer being
required to work through a series of exercises where in they have to write
down (work literacy is pushed) and discuss their thoughts, understanding
and preparations for how they measure up in all the basics necessary to be
your best when you are looking for employment. I have laid out what we feel
are the main 4 steps in the process to find a job- Are you ready to go to
work (1. Got your blindness and your life in order), 
2. Finding openings (knowing what are and how to use the various resources
out here to find where jobs are), 3. making the initial contact (be it a
phone call, a face to face, a resume an application and more), 4. Selling
yourself (all about the interviewing process). 

So yeah, I'm working on a couple of books, too. Most of us are. welcome back

Hello all,

I left the list sometime ago and am now returning to see what's what.  In
terms of writing, I am a development coordinator for a national consumer
protection group and run a freelance communications business on the side.
Though not all, much of this involves dry writing, and I'm hoping the list
will help me find my creative juices again.  I've picked up a novel I
started a while back and have made myself a promise to finish it this year.
I don't know if at the end the piece will be worth publishing, but half my
challenge is just finishing the various pieces I've started.  At any rate, I
look forward to some good give and take and look forward to getting to know
everyone again.

Best,

Joe
