I’m not here, but I’m leaving a trail…. Over the past year, there have been some posts that made you talk. Here are some of those posts, in random order: Seven Deadly Freelance Sins – How many are you committing? If Freelancers Worked Like This – My review of UPS versus USPS. It wasn’t pretty….
Early Holidays and Androids
Wildly busy weekend! Since we’re going different directions this year, we celebrated Christmas together on Saturday, complete with gifts. I was still shopping at 2 on Saturday, so it was a bit stressful. But we had a few flakes of snow, which put me right in the mood. I spent yesterday putting together the Christmas…
Link Love Friday
Nice day yesterday. I was able to slow down and get a few things done I’ve been meaning to do, like mail Christmas presents and print the Christmas cards. Mailing the cards is another matter, but I’m one step closer… Thanks to a fox that insisted on barking outside the window last night, I’m running…
What Doesn’t Wash
Had a slower-paced day yesterday, which was a welcome break. I was able to design a cover for my marketing e-book and get in two client calls. My first resulted in a retainer and a possible second retainer. I’m going to love working with these folks because they’re just so strongly team focused. The second…
Your Online Business Planning Session: Part Five
A good deal of work to do yesterday, part of which included preparing invoices. Love that part of the job! Today is a bit of invoicing as well, along with lining up more work for January. I suspect I’ll be really busy anyway, but just in case. Never stop marketing. Where have you heard that…

Your Online Business Planning Session: Part Three
I have a new URL! After much stress thanks to WordPress, I customized this URL – you’ll now find this blog at http://www.wordsonpageblog.com/ Update your bookmarks! Great weekend. I managed to act as much like a slug as possible yesterday. I earned it. We had the meditation group over on Saturday, and we spent the…
Your Online Business Planning Session: Part Two
Yesterday was frustration from stem to stern. I had some unexpected free time, so I spent it trying to move this blog. That set off my usual tech headaches as, one more time, I prove I have no aptitude for anything labeled “easy” or “simple.” My husband surprised me with a date to a hockey…
Your Online Business Planning Session: Part One
Good day yesterday. I finished the second article and sidebar and was able to invoice something. Finally! I have to get in touch with the other clients today to see where we stand on revisions and invoicing. Time Lori gets paid, I think. I heard you yesterday – you were saying “I have to get…
It’s Nearly 2012: Do You Know Where Your Business Plan Is?
Good day yesterday. I had an unexpected lull in a pile of work (waiting for interview sources and feedback), so I was able to devote a large chunk of my day to my manuscript. I like where it’s going, and I like that I had time to get the story elements aligned. I had inadvertently…
