Nothing broken, Lori — thankfully! Though it did take me at least twice as long to do ANYTHING for several days. The kick landed right above my knee, and the swelling made the movement of my knee quite painful and difficult for a few days.

I just wrapped up invoicing for September and I did quite well. In fact, it may have been my best month this year. Good thing too after my very weak August. As of right now, October is not very well booked, so I doubt I'll repeat September's performance. However, I do have a few referrals I'm in the process of negotiating with that could turn into profitable and ongoing relationships. Keeping my fingers crossed!

My update: One more (smallish) check came in on the 30th, but so did two more assignments from that editor who said he'd be assigning soon!

I put up my info on the Goals Dreams and Resolutions site, where a group of us work through our lists together:

It's more about looking ahead, but usually there's an end of month assessment and then a fresh look ahead.

It's been a good month for me, but only because one client has kept me busy full-time for several months . . . it's hard to say what would be happening if it weren't for them.

That's the goal, stephanerd - to remind you to look at your own business and see what's been happening/not happening. And it's accountability. I'm accountable to all of you each month. It keeps me on task knowing I have to report in each month. :)

Your horse kicked you, Katharine? Ouch! That's one mighty powerful punch! Hope it didn't break anything.

Devon, you're prolific. I'd love to follow you around for a day and see how you operate. Congrats on all the upcoming articles and payoff!

So Gabriella, take a vacation! Seriously. Your body's telling you something. You can't be on top of your game if you're worn out.

Kimberly, I hear you. I kick-started marketing again, sticking to my plan (the one I forgot about until a few weeks ago). Already, one new gig and the promise of two more from serious clients. Amen.

Paula, sounds like things are ramping up for you! Great! I realized as I worked my marketing plan the other day that it's just simple math - the more people you contact, the better your chances of securing the next project.

My September was busy, with two new markets (one magazine, one website) which both show signs of possibly becoming regular, or at least semi-regular, clients. Overall, I turned in three major articles, three sidebars, and three columns.

I admit I didn't put much effort into marketing this month. I sent a batch of ideas to one of my regular editors, which nabbed me two assignments; got in touch with four more editors, one of whom asked for ideas on a specific topic and said he'll be assigning soon; replied to just one job ad that seemed tailored to my very skills (no response so far).

Income-wise, I brought in $1,100 more than last month's so-so income (but the mail isn't here yet - I have several invoices out, so more could arrive today). I have $1100 of invoices pending, plus several hundred dollars more to invoice this week for the two articles I just finished. The magazine that just assigned me the two new short articles pays fast, so that will be about another $700 by the end of October.

So not a bad month, but there's always room for improvement.

September has not been my best moth either. It started off strong, but ended on a sad note. Like you I'm not blaming the economy. I'm in the midst of ramping up my marketing campaign (which I neglected over the summer) and it's slow going. Finding time to fit in client work, marketing and my other responsibilities has been really challenging.

Thanks again, Lori.

Just like every other month this year, I'm lower than my average month last year, but I'm still doing well enough to pay bills and save a good chunk of money. I'll take it.

And though I keep saying I should get back into marketing, I simply haven't. Very bad news!

The cause? I've been totally burned out. During the past month (or two, to be honest), I've done only what's necessary to meet the deadlines in front of me and nothing more. Just can't make myself be proactive right now.

I need a vacation!
