Mistakes? Me? Perish the thought! (yeah, right!)

My biggest writing-related error of 2007 was in underestimating just how much of a virus incubator my son can be.

Last year, I suffered through so many freakin' ailments I think I was sick about half the year with one bug or another... literally six months (at least.)

For an at-home freelancer, it was tough on many levels. This year, I'm building more lead time into my due date spreadsheet so I don't have to play The Last Minute Scramble. (It's like Twister without any of the fun...)

I learned a few things. The major thing I learned is to not be my worst enemy. My stupid negative thinking has put the kibosh on too many wonderful opportunities. I only hope this cat has a few lives left.

That’s a good one, Devon. We all have to learn that one, sadly.

I learned to trust my gut and not take on jobs I know instinctively will be bad for me.

Of course, I had to learn it the hard way.

I see we all are busy looking back... ;))

Come on - one thing?

I'll start. I'm the Queen of Lack of Followup. I will make initial contact, send an email to them, send another brochure, but picking up that phone is like being pushed over a cliff.
