Juggling Writing Projects

Tammy Takahashi who blogs about education at Just Enough, and Nothing More asked me in a comment how many writing projects do you juggle at once? And what kind of system do you use to keep track of where you are in each assignment/project?
It’s a great question that is causing me to think about my […]

Client Provided Info and Deadlines

If you’re writing for clients, you’re dependent on them to provide the information necessary to get the job done on time. It’s not unusual, however, for clients to fail to provide all the information you need in a timely manner. This is particularly true, at least in my experience, when I ask for additional information.
I […]

Writing Routines

When it comes to my writing, I’m mostly a creature of habit. Monday through Friday I get up early, usually around 5:30. I spend about an hour in a coffee, meditation, yoga and keeping my numbers routine before I move into the business of the day.
I check email to see if there’s anything urgent and […]

Freelance Writing Jobs - 68 New Writing and Editing Jobs

Just posted 68 new freelance writing and editing jobs. Of course, since I was gone for several days, some of these jobs date back to Nov. 21, but many of them are current as of today.
My sense is that if you apply for a gig within a week of posting you’re probably okay. Of course, […]

The Freelance Writers Manifesto Visited Again

Carson Brackney over at the Content Done Better Blog read The Freelance Writers Manifesto and, not sure he liked what he was reading, contacted co-author Patricia Skinner who agreed to answer his questions. It makes an interesting, if a bit long read.
Like Carson, I appreciate Patricia’s passion and I think I’ve got a bit more […]

I’m Back!

Had a great visit with my daughter… just the right amount of time… if I’d stayed another day we would have been wondering what to say to each other.
Of course, what I really want today is left over turkey… that’s one problem with visiting others for the holidays. And I find I like flying less […]

Picking Your Pay Fights

Getting paid is always important to freelance writers. Here’s what happened to me recently.
A ghostwriting client and I set up monthly payments to me. I’d already gotten most of the first month’s payment as we got to know each other and I sent an invoice for the balance which was paid promptly. Then November rolled […]

Meanwhile, check out Freelance Writing Jobs by Deborah Ng - she posts almost daily and is a nifty person. Remember, her posts include […]

Writing About Gratitude

I’m almost a gratitude junkie. That wasn’t always the case. For a long time the idea of a gratitude list made me, well, squeamish. That’s changed. I know that if I want a quick mental, spiritual, or psychological lift all I need to do is write a gratitude list. Here’s mine for Thanksgiving:
