Have you heard of guest blogging? OK, it's pure self-promotion all around. My friend Michael Kimber, a journalist, creative writer and spoken word artist, has a ridiculously popular blog called Colony of Losers about being a recent university grad with mental health issues and making his way in the world. He's asking his writer friends, including me, to write about the crazy 20s. I'm pretty happy with the result: http://colony-of-losers.com/wordpress/2011/06/14/seeds-of-doubt-by-chris-benjamin/.

Lastly, for the first time I've written a book review for The Coast, about PEI writer Jeff Bursey's unusual debut novel, Verbatim. See the very short review (as is their format) at http://www.thecoast.ca/halifax/verbatim-a-novel/Content?oid=2602453.
