Argghhh… apparently I had two problems. One with the printer itself, and one with the voice portion of my dsl line. I’d heard some static this morning, but when I tried to use that line to fax, the fax couldn’t even begin to connect.
So, from the same phone line, I call my phone provider who […]
Celine, over at Pimp Your Work, has the kind of article I love to see: Get your career in the fast lane. Write a book. Seriously. The idea is that writing a book can be a great career move.
In fact, it can. Of course, not everyone can write a book and even many of those […]
I have a tropic soul. I love lots of light; warm weather sparks my creativity. So winter, even as we experience it here in San Diego, isn’t my favorite season. In fact, as the days get shorter each year, I have this image of myself sort of hanging on, longing for more light.
So I absolutely […]
Darn! It’s cloudy and chilly here in San Diego – and it’s been like this for several days. Okay, I’m a total weather wuss… but the gloom makes me want to go to bed with a novel, not write. At least I think I can blame the weather.
Well, there’s another truth here too. The chapter […]
I chuckled when I saw the headline over at Common Sense PR - Tip: You Can’t Push a Rope. Although the post is more or less aimed at working in/with corporate environments, it’s certainly also true in the freelance writing business.
Eric points out that it may be the wrong time - I can’t count the […]
As we get to the end of the writing of his book, I’ve got a client who has gotten nervous about changes I’m making. He’s asked me to use track changes so he can see everything. I don’t really mind, except it takes a bit more work… or at least the way were going at […]
Awhile back, a client asked me who he should self-publish with. I gave him my top three choices at the time. He elected to go with a POD company who does a huge amount of advertising even though told him about a couple of authors I knew who were unhappy with the company. As […]
Maybe it’s because I’m known for having a firm grasp on the obvious, but I’m reminded today that some days are more productive than others. Today, in addition to the job list and it’s newsletter and blog entry, I’ve done a writing coaching session, edited a friend’s article, and talked with someone about marketing. I […]
At least four months ago I contracted to ghost a 100-page book with a 45-day deadline on a particular breed of cat. The author’s goal was a book he could sell from his website. Plans included author provided drawings, a foreword by a cat expert as well as generally helpful and fun information for people […]
In Part 2, we looked at the method you’ll use to get the writing done. Next is your pay.
Ah yes, pay! You do deserve to be paid and paid well for your writing. Since I’m usually the one writing the letter of agreement, and since it’s in part a sales document, I label this portion […]
