  • Bookending

    How was yesterday for you? I spent it learning how to move this blog, plus trying to get my domain out of the hands of the GoDaddy people. I had plenty of time to do so – a current project is sitting idle until I can get some interviews lined up. Anne and I were…

  • Friends in New Places

    I felt like I was slogging through mud yesterday. Way too many things getting in the way and not enough work. I did get one more assignment from a regular client, but nothing concrete on the three others who were asking about upcoming projects. Soon. Patience. If I say that often enough, I may convince…

  • Giving Them Reason

    Yesterday was a bit of a fractured day. I had a doctor visit in the morning, then an interview in the afternoon with a bit of research scattered about. I managed to get out a few proposals to potential clients, and then off to get groceries. The proposals were something I was pondering all weekend….

  • Monthly Assessment: September 2011

    Happy birthday to my youngest bairn! Today she is 23 and a lovely young woman she is. Both she and her brother make their mom proud. I’m glad last week is over. Every bit of technology I touched went wonky. I’m hoping the weekend “reset” my abilities. If it were only that easy. Hard to…

  • Feedback

    Good day yesterday – I scored an assignment late Tuesday, so I was able to line up some interviews early. I got some marketing done, too. Always. Never stop, I say. I sent out a few Craig’s List ads locally, hit LinkedIn a bit, put out feelers on Twitter, and got another query going. All…

  • Fear Busting

    For someone with just a little work in the in box, I was busy yesterday. I did a ton of marketing, then fussed with my domain. Let me just say this – I’ve proven to myself yet again that either I should take notes or pay my kid to do the mundane Web stuff. I…

  • Samples

    Good day yesterday. I managed to get most of the Web project wrapped up. One more element or two and we’re on to the editing phase. I got some queries out in the afternoon, then off to a meditation-related music demonstration, which I didn’t want to go to initially. Turned out to be amazing. Also,…
