I tend to add the date to ghostwriting files, like this: wealthms 01-23-07. This works until the year changes as it did recently or I get too many. While I do want three or four of the most recent versions, I don’t need more than that, but they tend to build up.
I usually decide I [...]

Yesterday I woke up with my lower back hurting. I’m stiff and sore. Usually I know what I did to put me in this condition… you know, skipping stretches and exercise, lifting something without paying attention.
This time I haven’t a clue. Although I know I need more exercise, I’d been walking regularly and I’d been [...]

Every time I think I can predict the market for writing and editing jobs I’m proven wrong! For the last six weeks or so, Monday’s have been a relatively light day with fewer jobs – today we have 55 new writing and editing jobs.
We’ll have to wait to see if this is an extraordinary week [...]

Yesterday I didn’t even turn my computer on! Amazing. I’m so used to reading email, blogging and writing on an almost daily basis that a day without the computer is, well, unseal.
Of course, my world didn’t stop; I didn’t forget how to write; none of the emails required instant attention. There was more spam to [...]

Yesterday I got an email from a fellow who asked “Should I submit a completed article to a trade magazine in hopes they accept it, or should I submit a query first?”
(Somehow I deleted the email without responding – I hope he reads this.)
The answer, like so many things in the freelance writing business, [...]

I finally finished a chapter for a client that I’d been avoiding for at least a couple of weeks. It’s hard to understand why I set myself up this way, including rising losing the client. Sometimes I simply don’t understand myself.
I finally called a writer friend yesterday and in addition to a bit of bitching [...]

I just posted 45 new freelance writing and editing jobs.
I’ve recently begun to track the number of jobs and that makes 103 writing and editing and proofreading jobs this week… not too shabby!

Getting toward the end of a project is weird. I just completed a second pass on a ghostwritten manuscript, and shipped it to the client. They’ve already sent me one chapter with edits, which means they have four more to go.
I’m a bit impatient because I can sense the end of the project. I [...]

As you might suspect, I look at a heck of a lot of jobs for writers as I decide which ones to post on our writing job list. There are always a few that I could do, but never apply for. Just because I can write something doesn’t mean I apply for the gig.
For example, [...]
