: CKA Mediation and Arbitration Services BlogA Time to Write?
By Christopher Annunziata
After a nearly three month hiatus, it might be time for me to start blogging again. I hope to post at least weekly. I think that I can manage that. Since I really have nothing terribly substantial to say right now, I will start with a funny story that a good friend told me I should post on my blog.
My friend, let’s call him Brett, recently changed firms, moving from one well known BigLaw firm to another. Today, when I visited LinkedIn, the popular social/business networking site, it suggested that I send Brett a note congratulating him on his move. So I did. Of course, I had to give him some terribly un-politically correct ribbing about his new title of “Special” Counsel.
Moments after hitting send, I received an “out-of-office” email reply from Brett’s email address at his former firm notifying me that “Brett is no longer with the Firm.”
Yes. They capitalized “Firm” as if there was only one “Firm”. Or they were trying to subtly reveal that they were the titular Firm in that John Grisham novel. Or maybe that they were a front for a shady government black ops agency.

Using Writing Bursts to Generate Ideas and Enthusiasm
Many of us want to write fiction but rarely manage to get round to it. We struggle to find a free hour to write in ? or the energy to write. Doing writing bursts is a great way to get going when time is short and motivation flagging.
Wow! And wow!

Two China Things Of Which We Dare Not Speak (And Sex Is Not One of Them)
