Warning - A Nothing To Do With Writing Post - 3

What seems like hours and hours later, and really isn’t that long, but tell my back, and things are coming together even as they look like there falling apart.

Warning - A Nothing To Do With Writing Post - 2

Ahhh, I’ve got a desk setup again… I don’t have a kitchen table, but I do have a small movable kitchen island. It has two stools and I thought I’d be able to eat at it, but the height of the stools is wrong so it became a place to put stuff… you know about […]

Warning - A Nothing To Do With Writing Post

Q&A - How Do I Submit Clips?

Dear Anne,
Recently, in response to an “over the transom” article I submitted, an editor replied stating that he wasn’t accepting freelance pieces at the time but to forward my resume and writing clips.
Being new to freelance writing, I only have a few clips and absolutely no knowledge of the format in which editors generally receive […]

How Much Truth for Potential Clients?

If you’re ghostwriting or writing for clients, you’ll sometimes find yourself being asked to evaluate a piece of writing prior to getting hired. Usually, although the writing may be technically okay, it lacks something, some spark, something that will draw the reader in. The question then becomes how much truth do you tell the potential […]

This Writer’s Moving!

After four + years in a tiny studio, MzTiz and I are moving. We’ll miss the garden here, but we have not only our own wee garden to the small two bedroom we’re moving to, but, since we will be part of a community, will have big gardens as well.
I’m, of course, in a bit […]
