Merrilyn Astin Colors Blank Sheet

Merrilyn Astin Tarlton joined the community of blawgers with Blank Sheet of Paper and a Box of Crayons this month.  Merrilyn is the current editor of Law Practice Magazine, president of the College of Law Practice Management, and former marketing director of my firm, Holland & Hart, LLP.  She is also a founder of the Legal Marketing Association.

Merrilyn opens her blog with,

  "There is something frightening about a blank sheet of paper.  Even to the artist. . . .who, frankly, loves it like he loves death.  The blank sheet waits for you, beckons you, tempts you to take a risk. . .to use it up.

What is a blank sheet of paper to a lawyer?  A risk?  A threat?  A space within which to squeeze more words?  Perhaps to some it is an opportunity to carve beautiful text from nothing.  For others. . .a great place to start cutting and pasting."

Blank Sheet of Paper is a blog you will want to bookmark, add to your RSS feed, or just visit often.  Merrilyn has wonderful insights into the world of law firm management, marketing, creativity, innovation, business development, training, professional development.......

Thank you, Merrilyn, for sharing your thoughts with the rest of us.
