What I’m listening to: Heathens by twenty one pilots It’s been a relatively slow week. I’m dealing with three projects at the moment, but there’s time between interviews and calls to get some much-needed admin work out of the way. There was also time on my agenda to schedule a meetup with a contact who wanted…

Guest Post: Does Lazy Networking Litter Your Inbox?
I’m away this week, and it’s a shame. You see, Cathy Miller has left us a guest post, and I’m not connected where I am. I can’t comment beyond what I’m doing here (days before I leave town). Cathy and I chat a bit offline (quite a bit). In one recent conversation, we recognized some…
Why Your Freelance Writing Career is Stalled
What I’m listening to: Drive by The Cars Interesting week. I’m trying to locate off-the-record comments for a client project, but no one is talking. I had to come up with an alternate plan for the client, which he likes, but I really wanted to get feedback from these people so we could hit on a…
Your Do-it-Now, Kick-in-the-Ass Freelance Plan
Right about now, I’m in the western Highlands enjoying a wee hike or two. I may have delayed responses (where we’re staying tonight has no WiFi), but that doesn’t mean the conversation has to end. Talk among yourselves. Start with this: Five years ago, I wrote this post about helping other writers who were clearly…

What’s Your Social Media Goal?
What’s on the iPod: Portland by Middle Brother Note: Sorry about the word verification glitch. I hate having that thing anyway, so I’ve removed it for the time being. If the spam returns, I’ll have to put it back up, but for now, let’s hope for the best. It was nice to have a day…

What’s on the iPod: Wilderness by Middle Brother Sinus infection. That’s the word from the doctor, who seems to think I did not have the flu but had this sinus infection the entire time. Truth? I think he’s full of it. I’ve had enough sinus infections to know what they feel like, what symptoms to…
The Virtual Networker
What’s on the iPod: Ooh La La by Counting Crows I’m currently operating in a fog of Alka Seltzer Plus and Mucinex — welcome to cold season. Luckily the workload is relatively light this week. And luckily for you germs aren’t transmitted over the Internet (not human germs, anyway). So what makes marketing different from…
The Point of Social Media
What’s on the iPod: Chloe by Grouplove Photo: The Next Web Quick note — you’ll notice the word verification is back for comments. Had to do it. I was inundated with spam comments in the past two weeks (over 5,000 of them), and I’m thinking it’s time to get the spammers off my scent for…
