Freelance Writing
Just in case you’re interested in some writing that I’ve done recently, I thought I’d share some links.
Look at the Clips page on this website. Also take a look at my author page over at LegalZoom.
Hope you’re enjoying the long weekend so far. It’s rather cold and rainy here, so it’s the perfect day to try and and catch up on writing some more blog posts. Hopefully I’ll have a few new posts here soon!

Google Doodle: National Batik Day 2014
Did you know that today, October 2nd, is a national holiday celebrating batik? It is! In Indonesia.
I’ve been a fan of Google Doodles for a while and often blog about them. Usually I blog about the Google Doodles that we see here in the United States. But depending upon where you are searching from, the Doodle will be different.
According the Doodle page for National Batik Day, it sounds like a fun day.
Today’s a day of fashion for Indonesians everywhere as they mark National Batik Day. “Batik” is a traditional Indonesian cloth that has roots in the country’s historical artwork. In celebration of their culture, Indonesians dress head-to-toe in “Batik” for the holiday.
There are different cultural events going on this month to celebrate this textile that is important to not only the history of Indonesia, but also for commerce.
I’m trying to think of something similar that we have here in the United States, but I’m drawing a blank. Can you think of a similar American holiday?
