I won’t be posting jobs today because I’m clear across the country working with a client on his book.
I’ll be back on track Tuesday, October 2 - and if we keep getting 70 and 80 jobs, may move to a 3x a week schedule.
Write well and often,

Okay, so I’m off in West Virginia working with a client and that means no job postings today. However, that doesn’t mean you need to go jobless.
Deborah Ng publishes jobs almost daily. In fact, she’s one of my secret weapons when it comes to posting jobs.

A check that arrived
My cat, Mz Tiz

My willingness to write
The trip I’m taking
Two […]

I’m trying to figure out how best to do the job postings. The number of jobs recently has meant I’m spending more time than I like twice a week at them. One answer is to increase the frequency. But I”m wondering how often you’d actually look at the postings if they came more often.
Hence a […]

Self-sabotage is a strong term, and rightly so. It’s all about getting in our own way. Angela Booth blogs about writers and self-sabotage with a nifty 10 item list.
Go ahead, take a look, I did. Fortunately I’m not guilty of all of them or I wouldn’t be here, but I do have trouble with […]

If you’re involved in posting articles etc. on the ‘net, you may be able to write ahead with something known generically as “dripping.” I didn’t make up the term, and it often makes me think of colds and allergies.
