It was quite the weekend. Baseball (ugh), then football (yay!), and in the middle of it a disjointed plan to escape for a few days that turned out less than successful. Saturday we drove north to the Poconos with a list of B&Bs and an overnight bag. We located the state park, visited the park…
Keeping Track
What we’re talking about on the Five Buck Forum: Where to send the query Another slow day yesterday. I’m thankful for them at the moment because I’m able to catch up on my bookkeeping, desk cleaning, personal writing, and marketing planning. I had one interview yesterday, then I unraveled a few online accounts that locked…
Bookending
How was yesterday for you? I spent it learning how to move this blog, plus trying to get my domain out of the hands of the GoDaddy people. I had plenty of time to do so – a current project is sitting idle until I can get some interviews lined up. Anne and I were…
Friends in New Places
I felt like I was slogging through mud yesterday. Way too many things getting in the way and not enough work. I did get one more assignment from a regular client, but nothing concrete on the three others who were asking about upcoming projects. Soon. Patience. If I say that often enough, I may convince…
Giving Them Reason
Yesterday was a bit of a fractured day. I had a doctor visit in the morning, then an interview in the afternoon with a bit of research scattered about. I managed to get out a few proposals to potential clients, and then off to get groceries. The proposals were something I was pondering all weekend….
Monthly Assessment: September 2011
Happy birthday to my youngest bairn! Today she is 23 and a lovely young woman she is. Both she and her brother make their mom proud. I’m glad last week is over. Every bit of technology I touched went wonky. I’m hoping the weekend “reset” my abilities. If it were only that easy. Hard to…
It’s Not Your Job
Yesterday was a good day. I’m waiting for some client work to come in, so I had time to work on a personal project and put in some quality time over at the About Writing Squared forum. Plus there was some sort of issue with one subscriber who couldn’t get in. Hopefully I cleared that…
Feedback
Good day yesterday – I scored an assignment late Tuesday, so I was able to line up some interviews early. I got some marketing done, too. Always. Never stop, I say. I sent out a few Craig’s List ads locally, hit LinkedIn a bit, put out feelers on Twitter, and got another query going. All…
Fear Busting
For someone with just a little work in the in box, I was busy yesterday. I did a ton of marketing, then fussed with my domain. Let me just say this – I’ve proven to myself yet again that either I should take notes or pay my kid to do the mundane Web stuff. I…
Samples
Good day yesterday. I managed to get most of the Web project wrapped up. One more element or two and we’re on to the editing phase. I got some queries out in the afternoon, then off to a meditation-related music demonstration, which I didn’t want to go to initially. Turned out to be amazing. Also,…
