Got a new article up. It’s actually mostly little points that were scattered across several existing articles being gathered together and fleshed out:
Some Tips On How To Be Less Quiet In Conversations
Why create an article this way? Well, I’m doing some tidying up of the site for the new year. Reorganizing some stuff and tweaking some of the content. I’ll try to get some of these updates up in the following days.

Hey everyone, here are the best submissions since the last carnival, which was a while back:
The Vat19 blog presents How to Address An Embarrassing Problem
Change Your Tree presents Listening Relationally: Six Priceless Tips for Healthy Communication
Warren Wong presents Conversation Skills / Tips: How To Have A Good Conversation
Improv Lifestyle presents Be Confident by Being Specific
Edith Yeung presents 7 Habits of a Highly Ineffective Speaker
That’s it for now. For future editions, I’m just going to publish them whenever I feel like it, rather than on a strict schedule. Basically, when I’ve got enough good submissions for a new edition, I’ll put one out. As usual, you can submit your stuff here.
Actual new article by me coming soon.

Yeeeaaaahhh, got an interesting one today. I don’t think everyone agree with it, but sometimes I have to write stuff like this:
It’s Fine If You Don’t Drink, But Don’t Be Too Uptight About It
I also reorganized the index on the main page to put the articles that deal with more controversial topics under one heading. Everything I talk about is based on what’s worked in my own experience, but I realize some of it goes against more typical advice.
