Writers’ Roundup: January 4

Happy New Year!

Quick note: My twitter networking course, Become a Twitter Power User, will begin again February 4th, and it’s now open for enrollment. If you’re smart, you’ll wait to sign up until Monday (yes, this Monday, January 7th, because you might just find a one-day birthday sale on the blog that day.)

Here are my favorite posts from the last week:

• Network your face off. That, and four other career lessons it took three years to learn, from Marian Schembari.

• Match.com for careers? Fast Company on a new site that helps find the best job for you.

• Over at Escape the City, Elizabeth Sheeran shares four things you can do NOW to prepare for your career leap.

• Smart tips on getting the most from every blog post, via ProBlogger. I’ve gotta implement more of these this year!

• If you’re still exercising like it’s 1991, follow Leo Babauta’s new rules of fitness for 2013.

• Eric Barker answers the question: What are the top 5 career regrets? (Hint: Starting your own biz is not one of them!)

• Finally, a friend of mine, journalist Mike Snyder, wrote a beautiful post about the first Christmas without the person you love. If you’re looking for blogs that offer straight-up good writing and meaningful stories, add this to your Reader.

Happy weekend! See you here Monday for that sale.
