What’s on the iPod: The Runaway by The Clarks I have a post up over at Anne Wayman’s About Freelance Writing. Go on over and give her some comment love. How was the weekend? We spent Saturday cleaning the basement and hauling stuff away. Finally, we can walk down there again. We’d had a minor,…

Friday Bread Crumbs
What I’m reading: The Jungle by Upton SinclairWhat’s on the iPod: Something Good by The Airborne Toxic Event Wow. Never say out loud how organized you are and how you’re going to finish your project. The minute I typed those words yesterday, I watched my day go from centered to scattered. Projects came rolling in,…
Maximizing the Impact
What I’m reading: The Jungle by Upton SinclairWhat’s on the iPod: Unbelievable by Diamond Rio I managed to finish my large project edits yesterday, four blog posts for another client, and an edit of yet another client’s project. Productive and lucrative day. I don’t normally track my daily earnings (it’s too nerve-wracking), but I did…
Finding Good in the Bad
What’s on the iPod: Awake the Soul by Mumford & Sons Yesterday was a gift. Not that all days aren’t gifts, but this one was the gift of time. I had a large project I needed to put some polish to, and I was able to get through much of it yesterday. I was thankful…
Dude, Where’s My Check?
What I’m reading: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot DiazWhat’s on the iPod: Almost Famous by Eminem I wished for, and got, a slow day yesterday. It was nice to relax and settle in on a Monday. There were a few projects I could have done, but I concentrated instead on the…

Things That Make My Head Explode
What I’m reading: A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan DoyleWhat’s on the iPod: I Feel Lucky by Mary Chapin Carpenter Busy day again yesterday. I think I’m just going to paste that as my disclaimer at the top of every post. God willing, it will always be true. I got up and running on…
Market Value and You
What I’m reading: A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan DoyleWhat’s on the iPod: Fell by Scott Blasey Yesterday was a day of new beginnings. Okay, they were small beginnings, but I managed to get some stuff lined up that will make March rock financially. Amen. I’m doing better this month, but the checks aren’t…
Easing Up on the Brakes
What I’m reading: Night Crawler by Diane ParkinWhat’s on the iPod: Restless Days by The Clarks Yesterday was nuts. The amount of work I finished by 3 pm was astounding. I was spent, but I had a handle on what had gone from a relatively easy workload to a massive, need-it-yesterday pile in a mere…
Shooting Your Own Foot
What’s on the iPod: Girls Lie Too by Terri Clark Last week was a bit of a marathon. I managed a lot of little things that add up to big projects. Two big projects will provide ongoing revenue streams. Plus I worked on article interviews. This week I get to put the story together, which…
