Yesterday was one of those one step forward, two steps back days. I had the entire day to write, or so I thought. However, phone calls, emails, and various oddities kept cropping up. I did get some work done on an article, but I felt like I was being dragged through the day backwards and…

When There’s No More Demand…
Yesterday was blessedly slower than most of last week. I managed to get two interviews done, review a client proposal, and work on a side project. Appointments on my very full calendar vaporized. I was somewhat glad for it, though each postponed appointment does have to be rescheduled. Another day. Good friend and writing chum…
Putting “Free”dom In Freelance
Thanks to chum Cathy Miller for reviewing Marketing 365 over on her Simply Stated Business blog! I appreciate the review! How was the weekend? Mine was a mixture of lethargy and laziness – in general, pretty darned good. We had his office party on Saturday where I had the chance to really chat up some…
Giving Voice to the Voiceless
Hop on over to Newton Ideas for a review of my Marketing 365 ebook. Yesterday was upheaval much of the day. I was still feeling under the weather thanks to an intestinal infection, so I was intent on taking it slow. Unfortunately, too many things conspired to keep that from happening. I was chipping away…
Agreeable Disagreements
Yesterday was a wad of busy wrapped inside a shell of chaos. I got plenty accomplished, but there’s plenty more awaiting. I’m busy working on an emergency project today, plus I’m fighting off an infection that may require a doctor’s visit. I have no time for that, so it may wait until tomorrow. I’ve been…
Worth-inducing Wednesday
Nice day yesterday. It was slower – not at a standstill, but slow enough I could take my time getting back from lunch. I’m working on articles, messaging, and a potential editing gig. I’m also working on what may be a flu. I’m aching and my skin hurts. No fever, but there’s definitely something going…
Things I Love About Freelancing
Happy Valentine’s Day! You’re all my valentines this year. No better people in the world to share a virtual hug with. I finished a large article project, one that seemed to be getting longer instead of shorter as I wrote. I started on two others, and I got some marketing in before heading over to…
Guest Post: Your Freelancer Lifecycle
Many thanks to good chum Jake Poinier (Dr. Freelance) for providing this example of blog post excellence. I had the distinct pleasure of sharing thoughts with Jake over some Starbucks swill back in December. He’s as congenial, professional, and downright fun to be around as he comes across. About three weeks ago, Jake intrigued me…
Removing Doubt
Did you ever have one of those two-steps-forward, one-step-back days? Try four in a row. Yesterday proved to be as interrupted as the rest of this week. I finished a large project, but another one is due and every time I went near it, another must-do-now thing got in the way. I’m okay at juggling…
A “Sorry” State
I had what I thought was plenty of time yesterday to get two projects completed or close to it. Alas, the best laid plans… Another client project with an even tighter deadline came rolling in, so I had to drop things with longer deadlines to sort it out. Turns out the project ended up being…
