I’ve recently begun offering a new coaching service for writers and poets.

You can have a look at my website to see how it works and what services are offered.  I hope to add a series of online courses in the next few weeks as well.

And now I’ll let this particular blog go back to its normal work of discussing China and all things Chinese….

OK, this will be the last bit on dark ’til dawn for a while, then I promise I’ll move on to something else!

This is not at all China-related, but my blogging friend has started a new blog called Prayer Corner. You can go there and request prayers, “no strings attached.”

Stop in if you are needed a prayer offered on your behalf, or if you would like to pray for some of the requests listed there.  I think the blog-master there, ff&f, is going to write out the prayers in his posts, and I am assuming readers can add to his prayers in the comments section.

One way or another, I have seen some online prayer sites before, and the output was very poetic.  Many who were not so much people of faith expressed a real appreciation for the words at those sites.  I suspect ff&f, a very well-liked figure in the blogosphere, will have some very appropriate words to offer on behalf of those who request it.  Do stop in and take a look, even if you don’t really feel like participating in the activities set up there.  It should, at the least, be good reading.
