I've always been a writer--professionally, in the early days--and then as an avocation, on the side. Currently I blog regularly at Susan Mernit's Blog and am a contributing editing with weekly posts for BlogHer on Sex and Relationships.

I am definitely interested in more writing gigs, particularly paid opportunities.

Some recent favorite pieces I've written:

• Huffington Post: Social Media Must Haves for the Recently Laid Off

• SMB: Losing Jerry Yang: Why CEO's departure reflects how Yahoo! has been broken
• SMB: What I want from Friend Feed
• SMB: 5 months on Facebook: Observations of Value
• SMB: The Battle over Bundling: Ten Top Sources and more (aka RSS & copyright)

Favorites from BlogHer, where I've built up quite a backlog of relationship pieces:

• Joined, not merged: Keeping a room of one's own
• How can I ditch thee? Let me count the ways
• The Cheap Date & 15 ways to have fun ones..without feeling like a cheapskate
• I don't want to get married. Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt(and the kid)
• The end of innocence & making it big: The NYTimes spins yet another lost girl tale of innocence, regret and discreetly hot sex
• Sex for fun: do you play that or not?
• Love Happens, Or from Casual to Comitted, Trying it All Again
• My love for Patty Smith: Or, sex, gender, androgyny and freedom
• On dating younger men
• (more people have read this than anything else on blogher that I have written. Why? It is the number 2 link on google for dating younger men (LOL)
•  Not choosing monogamy, why exclusivity doesn't matter

I am also proud of this talk on blogging, sexual identity and privacy Viviane and I did at Arse Electronika: Avoiding the Emily Gould Effect: Blogging, transparency & oversharing.
I was once a dedicated poet, and after not writing for many years, started writing again.You can see some of the old poems and an essay online. Still hoarding the new poems.

Some journalism pieces, including one I wrote in media bistro bootcamp after I got laid off from AOL and was wondering if I could still do reporting:

OJR: Kevin Sites and Blogging controversy

The Digital Edge, Newspaper Association of America, and the Online Journalism Review as well as guestblogging at Morph and Engadget.

Looking for more writing gigs, let me know if you have ideas.
