Whew, got a lot of links added to a blog. A blog just ain’t right without links added, and I have a bunch of writers, editors, consultants, and fun sites to check out. So … happy clicking!

I love working with words. They are, after all, my main currency of exchange, 😉 One word that has always fascinated me is, “freelance.” It has a nice, “Old World” ring, doesn’t it? It conjures visions of horsemen raising their lances for a charge, sworn to no king. The term “freelance” was first coined by Sir Walter Scott in his …
Before I became a freelance writer, I knew I’d hit a point where I’d be near the end of a writing or editing project and wonder, “what do I do next?” I needed to have a plan of action … or better yet, a plan to stay active. Staring at a project’s completion point, it can be easy to get …
I’ve been a fan of mythologist/writer Joseph Campbell‘s books and appearances since I was a teen. His famous phrase is, “Follow Your Bliss.”  It’s a lyrical way of saying, “always do what you love,” particularly in regard to your occupation. I believe that we all have things in our lives that make us happy. Sometimes, though, we have a hard …
Milestones and goals are important when you begin a new venture. They keep you grounded and give you something to work toward, whether you are paying off debt, losing weight, learning to play the guitar … or staring your own business. When I decided to start my own freelance writing and editing business, I knew milestones would be critical. Now, …

On the first day of this year on my old blog, I wrote: “Here’s hoping it’s a great year for everyone. So long, 2008 … … Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.” And then I included a picture of heavy door that one might find in prisons or middle schools. There were definitely bright moments …
I stay at the bleeding edge of technology for professional and research purposes, but I tend to be a late technology adopter, personally.  I resisted buying a cell phone for years, and the one I have now is fairly low tech, compared to the new smartphones.  I had a big, boxy Zenith television for ten years (a tube inside …
Just a brief note to say that my review of The Martian General’s Daughter by Theodore Judson is up at Strange Horizons. Let me know what you think!
V: The Series rocked my world when it came out in 1984. The Star Wars Trilogy ignited my desire to tell stories, but the original V: The Series taught me that there were many different ways a story can be told. For my nine-year-old self, the series itself took risks that today are commonplace in shows like Lost or The …
Howdy! I’ve had several blogs over the years (as the title implies, this is the fifth version), but this is the first time I’ve had one attached to a larger website (and the first time I’ve had a website!), so welcome to “Liberate Your Bliss.” My name is Mahesh Raj Mohan, and aside from being a husband, son, and brother, …
