This week, I wrote my thoughts on the Quo Vadis Habana notebook. Not only does it make a sturdy companion for writing your thoughts, it also is a comparable replacement for a Moleskine. Go read my review and see what else I had to say.

This week, I reviewed Tagging: People-Powerd Metadata for the Social Web. Not an easy review for me. I received the book last November and took me awhile to get through. It was a good read but a bit TOO technical for me. You should go read my review and find out why.

DIYP Article Up: Tarot for Writers Review

innowen — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:09:18 +0000

Tarot and writing go hand in hand for me. I entertain thoughts about writing a book on tarot one day and had hoped to include in-depth material on using the cards with a creative writing practice. Corrine Kenner beat me to that, with her Tarot for Writers. Now if I ever write that book, I’ll just be adding to the discussion she started.

I loved Tarot for Writers. Go read my review and find out why.
