I just realized I’m tired. Maybe I’ve been busier this week than I thought, or maybe feeling more stress, or, or, or… who knows, exactly. But as I wait for a call from a client, I realize I’m tired!
You know what? After the client calls, or doesn’t (sometimes they don’t), I’m taking a nap. I […]
Darren Rowse, the prolific blogger at problogger shares how he gets more done than I ever intend to in a post called: How Batch Processing Made Me 10 Times More Productive
Actually, when I really look at his list, I see some similarities in my own productivity. It’s not at all unusual for me to write […]
As conservative commentators (I’m not thinking quit that nicely) continue to insist all mainstream media has a “liberal bias,” media as we know it has been and continues to be consolidated at what I consider an alarming rate.

One of those things I’ve always been puzzled about is why so many employers seem to want to watch the writers they hire write. You know what I mean. You’re reading an ad for a writer, realizing you’re perfect for it until - WHAM! - there it is - ON SITE ONLY.

Can you see what’s in my backyard? Yep, kittens! There are actually four of them and plus, of course, the mom. All feral at the moment, but three and maybe four of the kittens are spoken for. I’ll try to trap mom once the kittens are gone and get her nutered, then, if she’ll let […]
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 […]
One of the things I truly love about freelance writing is my ability to go shopping at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday morning, or maybe just after lunch on Thursday. If you haven’t guessed, I truly dislike traffic and hoards of folks in stores.
The news this morning is full of parking lot counts and interviews […]
PODdy Mouth - Daily Dirt on POD and Self-Publishing has an interesting post called: The irony of “The Long Tail”
She details some of the hidden or at least obscure costs in self-publishing and talks about how much the long tail actually costs.
Assuming you’re considering self-publishing a book, exactly how these costs might effect you […]
Chris Garrett, who blogs at chrisg.com has a good post called: The Myth of Freelance Pay. The gist is that many people have an inflated idea of how great we freelancers have it when it comes to our income.
But it’s the comments that really fascinated me, particularly the one by Nathania Johnson. She says, among […]
Interview Chatter has a post called: Interview Etiquette? There’s a question posed by a reader then this statement, in part: You don’t create a negative impression by not being available when a recruiter calls.
Substitute writing client for recruiter and you’ve got a truth for freelance writers. You don’t have to be available the minute […]
