Of Mondays, Workloads, and False Alarms
Many thanks to our own Dr. Freelance, Jake Poinier, for reviewing my ebook, The Worthy Writer’s Guide to Building a Better Business. I appreciate it, Jake! Read Jake’s review (dare I say Jake’s Take?) on the Dr. Freelance blog. Wow, that was an overrated storm. Irene came into town, blew her worst, and managed to…
Goodnight Irene
If you’re seeing this post, I’m offline. I’m writing this Friday afternoon, when the forecasts are all predicting Irene is blowing into town for a whirlwind visit (so to speak). There’s a chance I’ll be offline due to power outages – we get them during small thunderstorms, so I don’t expect miracles here. So in…
Open Thread: Your Extremes
Off early this morning to have a play date with a writer friend, then back to brace for Irene. So let’s end the week with a fun exercise. What’s the most you’ve ever earned on one project? You can give percentages or XXXXs, if you’d rather. What’s the least you’ve earned? What was the experience…
Dealing with Inaccuracies
How was yesterday for you? I remember a little of mine. I was anesthetized for a portion of it. I had a routine test – colonoscopy – and the nap comes with it. You know you’ve been working hard when you lie on that table and are eager for the anesthesia. A nice nap later,…
Knowing When to Switch
Very weird day yesterday. Sitting here at nearly 2 pm, the house started to shake. At first I wondered why the stepson was running through the house. Then it continued, and I realized the blinds on the windows were moving. Not my first earthquake tremor, but certainly the strongest. Continued the marketing. If you’ve been…
This Job, Not That Job
Late start today. The daughter starts her new job, so I got up in time to wish her luck. That doesn’t mean I came running to the computer. It means I was able to relax over a cup of tea. Did some work for a client yesterday – two clients, actually – and sent out…
Weekends, Movie Oddities, and Mondays
How was your weekend? Mine was actually refreshing. We spent Saturday morning at a house sale that netted us some amazing, beautiful things at real bargain prices. We piled two chairs, gorgeous window coverings, crystal glasses, and some plates into the convertible and sped home to meet my friend, who’d come to show us her…
Weird Days and Fridays
Wow. Two articles done this week. I’m beginning to feel a bit robotic in my output. Not a bad thing – yet. I’d hate to keep up this pace. As it was, I finished the article at 5:30. And I got up from the computer wanting to exercise outside, but at 88 degrees and about…
Simultaneous Submissions
It’s been a good week of work. I spent yesterday morning out of the office (shuttle service for a routine test – his this time, not mine). Despite that, I was able to get back to the desk around eleven and get a small project done. I spent the afternoon doing something few of us…
