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.<\/p>\n

Know what the best part of asking you to share your thoughts on what worth means to you and your business? It’s knowing that people like Cathy Miller will come up with something fantastic to share. Cathy is what I call quiet genius — she’s unassuming in her personality, yet her words are packed with wisdom and been-there-done-that experience. She’s one of my favorite people I’ve never met, and I’m thrilled to have her guest posting. You will be, too. Her posts are always worth remembering.<\/p>\n

She’s done it again. Cathy’s post is one we need to print out and nail to our walls above the work space.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Cathy. Love!<\/p>\n

The Freelance Writer’s Dictionary Worth Reading<\/b>

You may have freelanced for years. Or felt pushed there when you could not find work. Or you could have slammed the phone down on a room full of executives and quit your day job on the spot. <\/p>\n

Yes, that last crazed scenario describes my entrance into freelancing. I wasn’t particularly proud of the loss of control, but it did signal that I waited too long to start my freelance writing business. Why do we do that? Why do we put our dreams on hold? <\/p>\n

We let others define what makes us worthwhile. I know I did. <\/p>\n

\u00b7 I charged less than my writing was worth <\/p>\n

\u00b7 I did work from my corporate days I did not like <\/p>\n

\u00b7 I got talked into exchanging work for referrals (that never happened) <\/p>\n

Why would a reasonably intelligent, professional writer sell herself short like that? Because we think we are not worthy to follow our dreams. We need to be more practical. Well, how practical is it to let others define what we should and should not do?<\/p>\n

It’s time we created our own freelance writers’ dictionary.<\/b>
