Slower, Steadier…
My guest post is still up over at Peter Bowerman’s Well-Fed Writer blog. Give Peter some comment love, please. FYI – For those interested in a fantastic group coaching experience – Peter Bowerman has just a few spaces left in his February group, starting February 8. It’s a great way for you to get Peter’s…
What’s Your Price?
It’s been a good week. Coming off a really rough re-entry (lots of work the two days after I got back), I was able to step back this week, rearrange the schedule, and buy myself a little wiggle room to readjust. I begged off the project offer I mentioned yesterday. Yes, I could have taken…
When Losing is a Good Thing
Thanks once again to Peter Bowerman for hosting me on the Well-Fed Writer blog. Please hop on over and give Peter some comment love. Sometimes I like to go back to offers I’ve received, re-examine them, and review my decision to either take them or turn them down. Sometimes the decision is easy – sometimes…
When It’s Over
I have you humming that Sugar Ray song, don’t I? Hop on over to Peter Bowerman’s Well-Fed Writer Blog – I have a guest post up. Thanks, Peter! Good day yesterday. I managed to get some interviews lined up for an article, worked on things for the Five Buck Forum, then chatted with a new…

Settling In
I get to stay home. Finally. Last week proved to be the roughest re-entry into work ever. I got off the plane at 8:30 pm Wednesday, was sitting here fighting off the two-hour time difference Thursday morning while writing a client article and arranging interviews for other projects, then was tied up in client meetings…
What Nature Has Taught Me About Business
I have a guest article up over at About’s Freelance Writing site. Thanks, Allena! I had a shaky re-entry yesterday, first with clearing up an invoice problem that apparently never existed (long, boring story involving incompetence somewhere else), then with a quick turn-around on a new client project, which I hope is what they’re looking…
Returning
Finally, I return. How were the holidays for you? Because too much information is already floating around the Internet, I kept a low profile on our being away for two weeks. We went to Phoenix and spent a wonderful Christmas with his family, then we spent a week touring the desert south of Tucson. At…
