I’m going through one of those periods that astrologers lay off to mars in retrograde… lots of smallish things going wrong, and a couple of larger ones too. I won’t go into all the details, but I’m also having trouble with a clients, and I’d like your advice.
The first is a smallish contract for a […]
You know, if you’ve followed this blog at all, that I’m a great believer in writers getting paid, and paid well. John Kremer, author of the excellent 1001 Ways to Market Your Books and an excellent blog on the same topic has posted a YouTube video by author Harlan Ellison called Writers Should Be Paid!

John Clausen who owns the helpful site for freelance writers called Writing for Money, put this in a comment… but I think it’s well worth it’s very own post and a bit of time on my front page. So here it is:

Angela Booth has posted Write for Money - Five Easy and Fun Steps for New Writers.

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 […]

Ricco, over at CopyBlogger.com has a nifty short post called: An Easy Way to Come Up With Creative Ideas. His method will work for sure.

But you knew that.
Write well and often,

Does any of this sound familiar to you?
You schedule phone meeting with a client that’s to last at least an hour.
You make sure nothing interferes, including putting off at least one other client.
The appointment is confirmed the day before.
The hour arrives and there’s no phone call.
25 minutes past the start of the call, you call […]
How do you actually get your writing work done on any given day. I realized I’m not sure how I do it, so I thought I’d chronicle at least part of it here.
I need to generate a new chapter for a client. We know what it’s going to be about and the point, but the […]
