I got the copy edited version of my book on writing books back. I have to tell you, I wasn’t anxious to open it; in fact, I postponed it two days. I was afraid of what I would see for two reasons.
It’s always hard to look at any criticism, even when I’m the one […]

As you who follow this blog, I’m a big proponent of charging enough for your writing. Of course, just how much is enough is an open question. My experience, however, indicates that many freelance writers consistently under-value themselves, often in an attempt to keep the cash flowing.
It doesn’t usually work that way. When you charge […]

We end this week with 69 Writing, Blogging, Editing and Translation Jobs.
That’s a total of 154 writing, blogging, editing and translation jobs - not too shabby considering Monday was a major holiday here in the States.

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 […]
Oh good grief! How often do I have to learn this lesson?
I’ve been having huge trouble with a chapter in a ghostwriting chapter. This has been going on for days. I’ve re-listened to the DVD the author sent, read the offending chapter multiple times and simply couldn’t see what was wrong. I even put it […]
Yesterday I posted a rant about keeping track of paper.
It was so easy to solve it was almost no fun at all. I ended up at a Staples because it was close to the car wash. (Do marketers have any idea of how we really make our shopping decisions?) There I found file jackets - […]
Jennifer, over at MyOrganizedBiz.com has challenged me, along with 5 others, to share what they might do with the $600 tax rebate that’s supposed to stimulate our economy out of recession. Here’s what I think I might do if it arrived today:
Buy a couch for my new digs
Buy 2 new book cases for […]
Believe it or not, I don’t have a television set. I raised my kids without one and have found that I truly don’t enjoy it. So the writer’s strike is, well, not much in my consciousness. This morning I heard a talk show host riffing on last night’s Letterman show and the possibility there won’t […]
Ye gads! The end of the year is coming, really! (I’m feeling like time is speeding up even more than usual for me.) That means, among other things, time to think about goals for 2008.
I’ve barely begun this process, but Michele Tune who blogs at Writing The Cyber Highway, has gotten it together already […]
Okay, I wouldn’t want to do anything else. I love writing, ghostwriting and coaching writers. But darn! Sometimes writing, rewriting and editing is just plain boring.
Yesterday and this morning, I went through a 20,000 word manuscript. All sorts of small things showed up, like extra spaces, words that needed to be changed and punctuation clarified. […]
