Busy week ahead as we prepare for Claire’s any-day-now maternity leave to start. We’re so excited to welcome another member to The Word Factory family!
• Claire and I are busily putting the finishing touches on our Las Vegas recession and green disaster-resistant building articles for Hanley Wood so the decks will be clear for the imminent arrival.
• I finished the supply chain white paper and will start working another later this week on airport cities.
• I’m beginning to research a piece on Roanoke, Va., for Architect mag.
• Carolyn and I are gearing up for a special content project for the Carrboro Citizen. We’ll be writing some short features on animal wellness and other pet-related topics for a special section debuting next month.
• Steve and I just made the final revisions to our job search presentation for FastTrac Detroit on Saturday. We’re really excited to get back up there!
