I think it's both sitting your butt in the chair and actively learning. I've found that picking up the occasional writing book or taking a writing class or hiring an editor helps take things up a notch too...not a big notch. I appreciate the baby steps. Right.

The amounts are so ridiculous: leading actors get paid millions upon millions of dollars per movie and live unbelievably lavish lives. I know the movie business generates a lot of revenue, but do you think they should get paid so much or should a lot of that money go to other causes?

]]> Comment on Women Need to Stop Opting Out of “Hard” Subjects, Like Finance by Jackie Dishner http://annlogue.com/2012/05/06/women-need-to-stop-opting-out-of-hard-subjects-like-finance/#comment-1826 Jackie Dishner Sun, 06 May 2012 16:26:34 +0000 http://annlogue.com/?p=331#comment-1826 Great post. I'm tweeting this because I was one of those women, and math was a tough subject for me in high school. In college, it didn't get any better until I took an independent study course that offered the one-on-one I needed. That worked. I slugged through. Later, I took continuing ed course in accounting because I wanted to prove I could do it. I did. Even got the unexpected A. I still don't want a career in math, but I do use it in my own. And I'm sure glad I didn't fight the college system like a friend I know did so she could get out of having to earn the math credit. She was fearful of math. Does the system do that to us? I don't know, but I'm glad I slugged it through. I'd say to the ladies who don't think they're good at math. So what? Get some extra help. That's all. Great post.

]]> Comment on Keith Gilabert Pled Guilty. That’s A Fact. by Anita Bartholomew http://annlogue.com/2011/11/18/keith-gilabert-pled-guilty-thats-a-fact/#comment-1783 Anita Bartholomew Tue, 01 May 2012 16:23:15 +0000 http://annlogue.com/?p=232#comment-1783 This appears to be how scammers attempt to clean up their Google searches. I wrote about an investment scammer years ago, and just last year, he came back and threatened to sue me and Reader's Digest, where the article was printed. Statute of limitations way past, but this sort of thing will frighten some writers into un-publishing web pieces. My suggestion: bring this threat to the attention of a well-read investment columnist who is backed by a large, well-funded media organization, and watch this backfire on Gilabert.
