Here are some of my favorite posts from (gasp!) June of 2005:

Dear Anne,
I’m a regular reader of your newsletter and always look inside the job postings list. I would like to find a writing job I can do from home one day but it is proving to be rather difficult.
One thing is that some jobs are for US based people only. Another obstacle is […]

The other day a writing buddy of mine called. He was tempted to take a writing gig that paid way less than half of what she normally gets. True, it was a rather unique opportunity with a major trade publisher. If he did this job well he’d have an excellent contact which might lead to […]

One of the reasons I like blogs so much is I don’t have to try and track everything I think I should write about here. For example, I’ve been a proponent of ebooks since the beginning; I’ve been singularly unimpressed with ebook readers. Fortunately, Joe Wikert over at his Publishing 2020 Blog takes time to […]

Michael Stelzner, owner and creator of Writing White Papers runs a contest each year for the Top 10 Blogs for Writers. Now in its third year, the contest had almost 300 entries. I’ve had some envy for his contest and now I think I’m glad Micheal’s doing it, not me. Three-hundred entries is a lot […]

Without a doubt, the biggest interest freelance writers have is how to get a gig. Experienced writers are almost always looking for the next writing job while, obviously perhaps, new writers are longing for their first. Writing experience does matter; I’d be fooling you if I said anything else. It’s way easier for me to […]

Yesterday I was, for a bit, convinced I’d never finish what I was calling the final pass on the book I’m working on. My goal was to finish my proofreading so I could turn it over to a copy editor.
It’s a book for an upcoming teleclass called How To Get Your Book Written With Vision […]

Arghhhh. I’ll never finish this d**n book! At least it almost feels that way. This morning when I started I had about 30 pages to go. Now hours and hours later I’ve still got 16 pages to go. It keeps growing! I’ve gone from a 20,000 word count a week or two ago to over […]

Hi Anne,
Is it my imagination or do you NOT publish ads from those outfits that sell term papers to students? I’ve noticed several of them on the boards I check, but not on yours.
How come?

Hi BG,
Great eye! Or are you checking up on me?
Seriously, I think the term paper mills are just one more example […]
