I’ve heard writing teachers say it, and I’ve heard magazine editors say it: “Throw out the first three paragraphs!”
What in the world are they talking about?

Last week I complained about the poor customer service I got from my phone and internet provide.
Today, I want to tell you about a company that has given me excellent service, and this one even has something to do with freelance writing. The company is ClickBank (and yes, that’s an affiliate link). ClickBank provides a […]

You’ve head me say it before - they are upgrading the electricity on my 1920ish cottage… it’s a fair drama for sure. I’m one of four, that is part of 10.
The next step is to “cut over” to the new box and this takes at least two agencies… the city and the electric company […]

I just got my new business cards. The image you see here is the front. It’s the second time I’ve used the earth-from-space image. The first time I tried it, I couldn’t find anything that really seemed to say writing with vision to me so I decided I wanted to remind people we live on […]
