Jennifer Williamson who owns her own writing service and blogs about it all at CatalystBlogger recently took a temporary full-time, on-site writing job even though she’d promised herself and the world she wouldn’t ever do that again.
She tells the story in a post called: On-Site Writing vs. Freelancing: The Showdown

Over at Contract Worker, Rico asks if freelancers should use credit cards. He tells a story on himself about how easy it is to spend more than planned with a credit card.
My hunch is no one should use credit cards unless they are independently wealthy, and even then, only if they pay them off each […]
Every now and again someone asks me if it’s possible to protect ebook .pdf files so people can copy them and give them away or even sell them. I tell people that yes, they can and that I don’t bother.

BuzzNetworker, another b5media blog, has a post today called: Citizen Journalism. It highlights the Center for Citizen Media, which is new to me, then goes on to talk about the fact that the San Jose Mercury News has called for neighborhood bloggers.
In one sense citizen journalism isn’t new at all. When you stop and think […]
I’m normally at my computer writing by 6:30 or 7 in the morning. I’m one of those folks who likes getting up at first light and mornings are my most creative time. It’s just flat easier to write in the morning for me than at any other time.
Today, however, I’m doing it differently. First of […]
Over at copyblogger there’s another great guest article by Sonia Simone called: How to Supercharge Your Content With Concrete Details
I don’t know about you, but when I’m writing about something I know well, I often forget about the details that others don’t know. For example, I certainly know how to get blog entries done… which […]
As freelancers, we are also business people, striving to get the greatest return on our efforts. And I think most of us are familiar with the 80-20 rule.
