The Great (or not so great) Compromise
I wish every work day went as smoothly as yesterday. I sat down in the morning and in two hours, I had a finished article. One down, two more to go (well, three if you count the new one due in September). I credit my pre-planning. Knowing the time crunch, I did all my interviews…

Insanity Via Craig’s List
It’s nuts around here today. I have a ton of stuff to get done before I head off to Maine tomorrow. Five interviews between 11 and 4:30, car in for an oil change (who has time?), and negotiations on yet another job that came in on Friday. Thanks to Wendy Johnson for sending over this…

Common Sense and the New Freelancer
Super day yesterday. I managed to get nearly 500 words down on a 1,500-word article and I’ve yet to touch the interviews. It’s going well, amen. I scheduled a few more interviews – three for today – and I hope to have most of these articles at least roughed in by the time I shut…
