Sometimes I have to relearn lessons about my own successful freelance writing career. Way back in 2006 I wrote about tracking time… I even linked to a time tracking software that was, but is no longer, free.
Somewhere along the line, I stopped tracking my time. Since I tend to charge flat fees for projects, […]
Once again I’m rather surprised at how helpful reading my writing out loud is. I don’t do it with everything; maybe I should.
It’s embarrassing at first, but the truth is probably no one can hear me, and even if they could, it’s so valuable I’d just tell them what I’m doing.
There’s something that my ear […]
I just came back from a two hour meeting with a client. We got a lot done and I’m now trying to get my notes worked into manuscript. The trouble is, and it isn’t really trouble, is that we didn’t talk in a nice, neat order.
Sure, we each had copy of the manuscript and we […]
Even though sometimes I have trouble getting my own writing done, I am really good about getting the work done for my clients on time. The other day someone asked me how I was able to manage meeting multiple deadlines.
It’s really simple, or at least it seems that way to me. If you were to […]
Over at copyblogger there’s another great guest article by Sonia Simone called: How to Supercharge Your Content With Concrete Details
I don’t know about you, but when I’m writing about something I know well, I often forget about the details that others don’t know. For example, I certainly know how to get blog entries done… which […]
Angela Booth has posted Write for Money - Five Easy and Fun Steps for New Writers.
I don’t know if I’d call all of her five steps easy and fun, but they certainly are doable and by the time you finished all five you’d have a website and be in a good position, probably, to […]
As many of you know, book ending is one of my favorite tools or tricks for actually getting the writing done. Now I’m experimenting with a new-to-me tool.
For the balance of the week, a writer friend and I have agreed to be accountability partners. After I publish this blog I’ll give her a call and […]
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 - […]
Oh good grief! It’s 10:30 and I seem to be exploring new heights of avoiding writing. I thought I’d share a few with you:
Drive around several blocks to see if the tire noise I heard yesterday is still happening - it isn’t.
Change the color cartridge in my printer - okay, this is legit since the […]
