Free Wisdom for the Asking

The conference continues and I hope by now I’ve managed to secure at least one client. One client project pays for the entire trip. Two is gravy. I’m shooting for a banquet.

Because of my absence, I wanted to leave you with some of the best blog posts from the last few weeks. Give these folks a visit and a comment. For my money, I’d follow them all. Actually, I do.

    Thanks Lori. Glad to see local search featured here. It's something we really don't talk about much in the freelance writing world, and probably should. 🙂
