Chop Wood, Carry Water and Your Freelance Writing Business

Ugh, almost every time I get a check I put 10% in a savings account I call Prudent Reserve, 10% in another account I call Real Estate, and 12% in yet another account I call tax savings.
The Prudent Reserve is actually the account I use to bridge gaps in my income. It took about […]

Can You Really See Your Screen?

Have you ever been editing your work on screen and had trouble erasing what you thought was an errant period?

If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, you’re probably at least vaguely aware I live in San Diego. Well, now that I’ve moved, I live in a town called National City, but it adjoins San Diego so it’s almost the same thing. Not only do I live in sublime weather now, I […]
