[stylist] Quick poll

Thu Sep 15 13:32:39 UTC 2011

Hi,
If this doesn't need to be on the NFB site somewhere, I'd be glad to collect the resources and put them up on the web somewhere. I can do that with my hands tied behind my back, especially with stuff like WordPress or Drupal.

Some of us do have bios up, but they are more like "Here's  my brief
history" kind of thing, at least mine was, but yes, a professional
shingle page would be helpful. Our songwriter group here has a
member's page that has a link to the person's email, a little bit
about what they do if they wish, and also optional is a sampling of
their work. I'd gotten a $300 writing job off that page. Actually I
never got him the songs he wanted due to  his canceling out the
project but he wouldnt' take the money back :). Point being, clients
might well look at it  as they search out writers for projects or
even to contact for mentorship or accountability.

Another idea  as long as I'm here that might be a good thing to do,
of course it would take time and who of us has extra of that these
days, but if we could somehow skim off or collect  the various
resources we use as writers. Everything from the newsletters as was
in a recent thread, to which dictionaries or thesauruses are
good/accessible/etc. Rather than someone reinventing the wheel, I'm
always looking to look for a tire store :). If everyone were to email
the various resources when they ran across it or better yet, when
they use it, maybe there could be a page dedicated to links to them?
I'd guess emailing one person who would be willing to organize it
rather than listwide posts. I've done similar on my own with
songwriting resources in html format, and it can be pretty time
consuming but very honestly it could be even a link to a downloadable
XLS spreadsheet where resources are all listed alphabetically and
presssing enter on the resource wil take you there.

Just a thought.
