Contract Worker has a post called 6 Weeks to a Better, Stronger, More Energetic You. Rico is going back to doing push ups - a particular form of exercise I really have no interest in at all, but it did get me thinking about physical fitness.
First, I applaud Rico and anyone who is doing anything […]
Those of you who follow this blog know I’m a firm believer in freelance writers getting enough time off to make their lives sane and to recharge their batteries. In support of that, I generally aim at writing only about four hours a day, leaving plenty of time for the rest of my business. I […]
I try to blog at least once a day, and often post up to four times. Today just flat got away from me. I did an hour of meditation, but that’s pretty usual. And I start early. I knew I had my two hours at the clay studio, then a meeting after that, and I […]
Thanks to Liz Strauss over at Successful Blog for her pointer to a wonderful graphic tool called Wordle.
That’s how I generated the first graphic you see here. In that case I just entered a few words.
Here’s what happens if you add the address for this blog, www.thegoldenpencil.com. It builds the word cloud from the rss […]
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?
The truth is, even for professionals, the first couple of paragraphs, if you’re writing an article, or even the first chapter if you’re writing a book, is likely to […]
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 […]
Last January, with some prompting from Liz Strauss who is the brains and blogger at Successful (and outstanding) Blog(gers) I published my own Bucket List for the Year.
How well have I done?
I have moved to larger quarters… in a delightful cottage with a private garden that is part of the Sweetwater Zen Center. I’m part […]
I just realized I’m tired. Maybe I’ve been busier this week than I thought, or maybe feeling more stress, or, or, or… who knows, exactly. But as I wait for a call from a client, I realize I’m tired!
You know what? After the client calls, or doesn’t (sometimes they don’t), I’m taking a nap. I […]
I just put my quarterly taxes, in the mail… you know, the ones we pay because we’re self-employed? Since I’m in California, that means a second check, fortunately smaller, to the state.
Okay, so I should be grateful I’ve got income to pay taxes on… and I am, but darn!
And no, there isn’t anything in particular […]
