Well, you rolls the dice, you takes your chances. And I risked a great
deal on this experiment. Too much. And now the stakes are too high not
only for me, but also my wife and 3 1/2 kids. I lose my house in a week
if I can't come up with about $6,000. After that, all sorts of horrible
things can happen that I don't even want to ponder. It's possible that I
just got it all wrong, and I should have stuck with nanotech as a
business and investment story. Period. I don't know. Still no regrets,
except that I put my family in this position. 

If you're an employer looking for an experienced editor, writer or
consultant, please consider contacting me <mailto:howard at lovy.com> . 

Here's my standard cover letter 

I'm currently an editor, writer and analyst who specializes in
nanotechnology, but am fluent in just about any technological, business,
political or general interest subject. I have a great deal of experience
in building news organizations from the ground up. As one of the
founding editors of Small Times Media, an Ann Arbor-based trade magazine
and Web site covering nanotechnology, I built the freelance team and
worked closely with the writers to set the tone and style for
nanotechnology business coverage. 

Previously, I was managing editor for a wire service in New York and a
copy editor for The Detroit News, where I also contributed feature
articles and op-ed pieces. I am an experienced journalist who has worked
for newspapers, magazines and wire services for two decades. I've carved
out a reputation for making science, technology and business
understandable to everyday readers. 

I'm sole conspirator at the popular Howard Lovy's NanoBot blog, and my
freelance work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Salon.com, The
Scientist and other publications.
