How do you sum up a year for a blog that’s aimed at others. You know, all you freelance writers, editors, etc. out there. What was significant for you?
For me it was my significantly increased income, the deepening of my spiritual practice, the start of a new spin on my writing business and my fear […]

Years ago, when I was working with my father in real estate, we had a meeting with a truly wealthy man. He’d made his money selling buying and selling what most people considered junk. Our meeting took place in a knarly office-trailer inside a huge, jumbled warehouse in a grimy industrial area south of Los […]
I’m delighted that The Golden Pencil is one of the finalists on Michael A. Stelzner’s Writing White Papers blog.
I say “we,” because community, in the form of comments, is one of the keys to a successful blog - so congratulations to you as well. And thanks!

Your net goal for the year
The numbers of hours you’ll work for the year
Your weekly overhead
It’s simple to go from this information to an hourly […]
Geeze! I was only gone a week! Of course, it was a pretty intense week. Five days were a more or less business conference with about 100 mostly new people, lots of political debates and almost nothing about writing. The other two days were pure vacation and, again, nothing about writing.
Now I’m back, and […]
Part of what I’ve been doing as I get ready for my trip to Boston is writing blogs ahead. A few minutes ago I finished… well, I’ve got at least two dripped for each day I’ll be gone, and on some days three. Then I remembered I need to blog today. Ugh.

The easiest and cheapest way to market yourself is with your email […]
FreelanceSwitch.com has just published a solid list of links for writers called The Massive Freelancing Linkswitch.
This is one of those resources that will take awhile to work through, but as I glance down the list it looks like a good one to me.

Wow, what a week it’s been! First of all, last Friday I landed a new ghostwriting client. That set off a chain of events, as it sometimes does.
The real reason I got a new computer is to run Naturally Speaking by Nuance. It was time anyway… maybe even past time. But I needed more memory. […]
