Today’s workload is much lighter. I labored through a complex article, complete with Congressional debates aplenty, expert advice up the wazoo, and more than enough last-minute debate to keep me reading every release up until Congress took its break. Today, it’s on to cloud storage. My life is one evolving issue after another.
Because my brain has frozen, refusing to work any more than it has to, I decided today is Share Favorite Links Day. It’s a new celebration I just invented.
Here are my favorites this past week:
MarketCopyWriter Blog: Thank you, Lorraine Thompson, for advice and articles that damn near write our career paths for us. If you’re not reading her, what’s your problem? Get over there!
About.com Freelance Writing: Continuing on yesterday’s theme of newbies finding answers, Allena offers up her advice. Great resource all around.
All Freelance Writing: In short, I want to be Clint Osterholz’s slave. He never ceases to amuse and enlighten.
The Well-fed Writer Blog: Follow Peter Bowerman. Seriously. He offers up juicy debate, interesting topics, and awesome advice. Here, he takes on niches and the beginning writer.
What caught your attention this week?
Today is city council meeting day for us. We have to see what kind of ordinance we can get for crop dusting on city limits. We're sick and we're sick of being sick. That's all I know for today.
I've got writing to do and marketing to do. My fiction ante is upped for the next few months — to stay on track, I have to write 3K/day, split between two different novels, as well as edit another book once I get notes from my editor.
In between that, I need short, quick -pay projects to keep the bills paid, so I better keep marketing.
Happy Friday the 13th!
My laptop already crashed once this morning on Friday the 13th-scary! So, I just created a very quick, unscientific poll asking when you typically write your blog post=> http://ht.ly/2paeR
I have an insurance CE course I am editing and an early call with a client on a ghostwritten article.
I have been loving the discussion going on here about American English vs British vs Australian http://ht.ly/2pazG
Have a great weekend! I'm signing off before Friday the 13th chokes my internet connection.
I'm marketing like a fiend. If July was the month of expenses, August is turning out to be the month of work… which is not a bad sequel, I suppose. It's too hot out to do anything but stay in and clean and work, anyhow.
