I have committed the cardinal sin of blogging. That is, not blogging. Pundits say, once you start, you shouldn’t stop. Readers will forget about you and it will be difficult to get them back.
So here is my first post, in a very long time.
Today, I am preparing an entry for the International Association of Business Communicators’ (IABC/Toronto) Ovations awards. I have entered this particular project previously in the IABC Gold Quill awards, which is the International version. It didn’t win, although I received some great feedback, which is proving helpful in preparing the entry I am working on today. Also, this time, I am spending a lot of time looking at past winning entries — something I should have done the first time around.
A quick blog entry and and a couple of hours finishing up my awards entry should serve to get me outside to enjoy this balmy Sunday in February in Toronto. Good time management should also ensure I have the opportunity this evening to watch Canada take on the U.S. in men’s Olympic hockey action.
I’ll let you know how the entry does when I hear back sometime in March or April. I don’t think I’ll need to let you know how Canada does against the U.S., unless of course, you’re living under a rock.
