Wow, yesterday was a struggle just to sit myself down in front of this computer screen. I remembered I wanted to get a hair appointment, called, and was in her chair instead of this one until lunchtime. In the afternoon I worked on an article, then on more marketing. I tutor my Vietnamese student Tuesdays,…

Bookending
How was yesterday for you? I spent it learning how to move this blog, plus trying to get my domain out of the hands of the GoDaddy people. I had plenty of time to do so – a current project is sitting idle until I can get some interviews lined up. Anne and I were…
Giving Them Reason
Yesterday was a bit of a fractured day. I had a doctor visit in the morning, then an interview in the afternoon with a bit of research scattered about. I managed to get out a few proposals to potential clients, and then off to get groceries. The proposals were something I was pondering all weekend….
Feedback
Good day yesterday – I scored an assignment late Tuesday, so I was able to line up some interviews early. I got some marketing done, too. Always. Never stop, I say. I sent out a few Craig’s List ads locally, hit LinkedIn a bit, put out feelers on Twitter, and got another query going. All…
Fear Busting
For someone with just a little work in the in box, I was busy yesterday. I did a ton of marketing, then fussed with my domain. Let me just say this – I’ve proven to myself yet again that either I should take notes or pay my kid to do the mundane Web stuff. I…

Things That Make Us Stronger
Can I just say how predictable some facets of our profession are? I sat nearly idle the last two months. Luckily the projects I had paid enough, but I spent a ton of time on marketing and personal projects. The second I realize our vacation plans are firming up, in come not one, but three…
Terseness on the Edge of Town
Yesterday was nice and busy. I got in a large chunk of an annual project, and I made decent headway on it. It’s a huge document, and the client is hoping to have things proofed and formatted by August 15th. I hope that’s possible. In the past, things have taken much longer (it’s really big)….
Working With PR
Busy day again, amen. I finished a large project (just a section – more on the way), and got some smaller stuff accomplished. I worked on a personal project, then it was off to the pool to relax. Finally. I feel like I’ve been running through my week. It’s going to get worse before it…
Finding Work Through Prompts
Check out Wade Finnegan’s Quality Writing blog: he’s interviewed yours truly. Thanks, Wade! Yesterday was nuts. I spent the morning on a large project, then headed off to get some medical tests done. A communications foul-up had me taking a different test than the one I’d scheduled. It also meant my quick 45-minute trip turned…
