The Golden Pencil: The Freelance Writer’s Resource

May 13th, 2008

New Tag Line

This is taking chances month at the b5media.com business channel. We’ve been challenged to do something slightly differently. Hence my call for guest bloggers the other day. (And you’re still welcome to submit one, or two, or… )
I’ve also changed the tag line - no, not the one under the logo on top (more about […]

Promote Yourself Here - Write A Guest Post

Are you a freelance writer, editor, blogger, or translator? Do you self-publish, write memoirs, greeting cards or articles on obscure science? Do you have something to say to other freelance writers, etc?
In other words, I’d love to have some guest posts for this blog. No pay, some glory and a lot of gratitude, plus links […]

Want Powerful Writing Examples? Try a Little Romance!

Sonia Simone who writes the excellent copyblogger has a wonderful post called: What Romance Novels Can Teach You About Powerful Copywriting. It’s a great article, except it’s too limited.
The truth is, the principles Sonia point out about romance novels… what makes them work, will work for many more kinds of writing than just copy or […]

Is Friday A Full Workday For You?

For some reason I have a real sense of TGIF today. Usually Friday’s are pretty much like any other weekday for me, but not this one.
You’d think I was taking off on a trip or something, but all I have scheduled is dinner with one of my kids and his family tomorrow, and a visit […]

Some Sunday Writing Blog Links

I don’t know where the phrase, link love, came from, but I don’t like it much, even when the bloggers using it link to me. None the less, the idea behind it is one I like, so here are a few writing blog links for you:

Meryl’s Notes Blog - you never know quite what you’ll […]

Blogging to Death?

Thanks to Jennifer Hoffman who pointed out a NY Times article called: In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop.
Part of the story involves a couple of tech bloggers who may have died because they were so focused on their blogs they forgot to eat, exercise or otherwise take any sort of […]

Two Guys and a Blog

Stumbled onto (into… what’s proper when speaking of a blog or a web page?) a blog called Men With Pens. Nifty blog about writing and life in general. There are sections on fiction writing, running a writing or other business, blogging, design and one called “Way off Topic.”
I particularly liked Are You Charging What You’re […]

I’m Such a Weather Wuss!

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 […]

We All Need Editors!

The nature of blogging is it’s off the cuff. This blog, like many others, even most, doesn’t have a copy editor that checks for mistakes and typos before it’s published.
Now, anyone who knows me knows I’m not a copy editor! My spelling is creative at best. Of course, computers catch many errors, but not all […]
