Wasn’t that a great Writers Worth celebration? I still have some posts, but I’m not around to get them up for you, so we’ll wait until I return. I’m still out of the office, but I couldn’t leave you without something to read, now could I? Thanks to my shoe-shopping habit, I had plenty of…

Writers Worth Three: Hobbyists Need Not Apply
Three weeks of Writers Worth posts — can you believe it? Thanks to everyone who posted and those whose posts are in transit. You have helped make this a fantastic movement of learning and sharing and encouragement (and butt kicking — can’t forget that!). May what you’ve written and commented inspire another writer to change…
Writers Worth Three: The Three T’s
What’s this? A third week of Writers Worth? Darn skippy! It’s thanks to all of you that we can continue helping our own improve how they handle business and how they view their own value. So thank you to everyone whose posts are appearing here and everyone whose comments add to the experience. Let me…
Writers Worth Two: Are You A Flasher?
Even though I’m writing this before I head out, I know by now we’ll be in the car driving toward the Canadian Rockies. The plan is to stay in Jasper, AB for a few days, then down near Banff and Lake Louise before hightailing it back to Seattle for our flight home. I promise to…
Writers Worth Two: Freelance Writer’s Dictionary
Welcome to Day Nine of the Fifth Writers Worth movement! Today’s our last day in Vancouver, and my last chance to check in, assuming I’m able to wrestle the laptop from my husband (he may need it for the conference) and secure decent WiFi. Know what the best part of asking you to share your…
Writers Worth Two: What You Don’t Deserve
I’m still in Vancouver, one of the most beautiful cities on the planet. I’m still hit-and-miss with the WiFi, I imagine (writing this ahead of time), but the Writers Worth continues on in earnest! Another day, another fantastic post! Again, many thanks to all who contributed their thoughts and experiences. You’ve helped writers in ways…

Writers Worth Two: Finding Niches
Welcome to Week Two of Writers Worth, er…. Weeks! I’m not here. If I’m online, I’m lurking from a WiFi spot in Vancouver. That doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. I know you’ll make each guest poster feel welcome and engage them in conversation. And thank you in advance. Thanks also to Allena Tapia…
Writers Worth Week: Deciding Your Own Worth
It’s been a great week of sharing worth and inspiring others. Don’t forget there’s more next week! Today’s post comes from someone I’ve admired and watched for some time. I was fortunate enough to connect to Sharon Hurley Hall via Google+. In fact, I’d say becoming friends with Sharon was the best benefit I’ve ever…
Writers Worth Week: More Than You Realize
I love it when a writer takes a personal experience and turns it into a teaching moment. Paula Hendrickson, whose comments and interactions with others have endeared her to the writing community, shows us through her own frustration how she defines her own worth even as she’s being challenged on that thought. Paula, I hope…
