Your Overachieving Host Plans to Semi-Slack for About Three Weeks

Comments (2)

My dear readers … March and April have whupped my posterior. Promoting one book while writing another. Several other writing projects and presentations. My usual Quint Careers duties. Something on the calendar nearly every day. And getting ready to depart for our summer residence, Kettle Falls, WA ….

Here’s what that means for you: Since I started my Q&A series last September, I have felt compelled to post a blog entry every day along with the Q&A entries (except for the first day of each Q&A, which I like to have stand in the spotlight on its own). My thinking was that some readers might not find as much value in the Q&As as others do, so I wanted to provide content for the non-Q&A-lovers. Added to my commitment to blog seven days a week — that’s a lot of blogging. I love it, but I need to recharge, fill up the coffers, and clean up some other projects.

So, for the next three weeks, content on A Storied Career will be mostly Q&As. You will still find entries every day, seven days a week. You’ll find non-Q&A content on the weekends, and probably a smattering of non-Q&A entries on other days as I feel an urgent need to blog. I will also definitely blog about the Golden Fleece portion of International Storytelling Weekend next weekend.

Fortunately, the upcoming Q&As are full of rich and fascinating insights. Hope you don’t miss the other content.

Hi Katherine,


I just started blogging as part of an internship with a startup company called Future Delivery. What encouraged you to start a blog about different forms of story telling for career advancement? I am currently trying to find a focus for my blog posts. As a student, I really want to share my experience with other students at my university who struggle to find what they want to do in life.

Great question, Jason,
My motivation for blogging about story telling for career advancement: That was the subject of my PhD dissertation.

I quickly branched out to other forms of applied storytelling because I found it all so fascinating.

As for what you should blog about -- what's your passion? What excites you? Think about your major, your planned career field, your hobbies and interests, and even things like books, TV shows, movies, and videogames you like and see if they spark any ideas.

Best of luck, and I will check out your company's blog-ranking site.
