Looking For Something Pithy To Write About

I’ve been up a couple of hours now and in addition to making breakfast, checking email and bringing my numbers up to date I’ve been trying to think of something pithy, or at least interesting to write about on this last day of 2006.
It’s been a good year for me, and next year looks even […]

Freelance Writing Jobs - 31 New Writing Jobs Today

We end 2006 with 31 new writing and editing jobs.
I haven’t kept an actual tally, but I suspect 35 is a fair number of writing and editing for the average posting. Most of the year I was posting twice a week, then I moved to three times a week. I’m going to guess that I […]

Is There Some Universal Law?

I don’t know about you, but it seems I always get sick on either Thanksgiving or Christmas… I know, always is probably extreme, but I ended up with a mild migraine through two days of Christmas celebrations.
Fortunately, although bothersome, the migraine wasn’t so bad I couldn’t enjoy my grandkids. Having all three of my […]

I’m Not Writing Today!

Okay, it may look like I’m writing, but I’m not, not really. I’m waiting until I drive to my oldest son’s house so I can travel with him, his wife and my two older grandkids to my younger son’s house. There we will have Christmas Eve with another daughter-in-law, my own daughter and her boyfriend […]

Bidding For Writing Projects and Globalization

Word reached me this morning of another site set up to accept bids from writers, editors, translators and the like – bids for work. It’s called BidFreelancers.com and it’s based in India.

Jobs will return as normal on Wednesday, December 27th.
Write well and often,

Problems With Sending/Receiving Ghostwriting Files

The internet has thoroughly spoiled me. I send files as attachments to my clients and they send edited, commented versions back to me. It’s become so routine I forget not everyone knows how to do this.
A client recently sent me a word file that was 11 pages of little squares… don’t you hate it when […]
