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.

Arghhhhhh!
Last week I drafted another sample chapter for a client who is having trouble deciding exactly what they want in the book I’m ghosting. At least I’m 99% sure I did, but somehow I didn’t save it. I ended up emailing the original sample of that style, which she and her adviser had seen before. […]
It’s far from the end of the world, but I had just finished printing out some 96 pages of an edit from a ghostwriting client when the phone rang, and sure enough, it was his secretary telling me another version was coming. It’s arrived, and when I get back from buying more paper, I’ll print […]

The internet has thoroughly spoiled me. I send files as attachments to my clients and they send edited, commented versions back to me. It’s become so routine I forget not everyone knows how to do this.
A client recently sent me a word file that was 11 pages of little squares… don’t you hate it when […]
It’s almost time to replace my computer. And, as usual, I’m both looking forward to it and dreading it.
