Ask me about ...

I went to a conference this fall where instead of saying, "Hello, my name is ..." the name tags said, "Ask me about ..."

I loved that. It was a sustainability conference and that narrowed the options a bit, but there was still a surprising variety. "Ask me about organic eggs." "Ask me about green alleys." "Ask me about saving electricity."

We have a huge range of knowledge and talent here. We pretty much know who can draw and write and pod and vid, but if some of you are experts on octopus intelligence or making eclairs or the works of Jane Austen, I would never know it. I wish we had those name tags here.

As for me, you can ask me about:

How to make a sentence flow better. I'll do public rewrites, even.

How to improve a sex scene. Hell, I'll do public rewrites of a few of those, too.

Some tips on job-hunting, though I haven't actually gotten a job yet, so you'd have to take it on faith that they were worth anything.

Cooking and meal-planning.

Organizing.

Parenting, birth to early teens, with the caveat that the great kid lottery issued us an easy one.
