Don’t forget to check out Anne’s and my new Five Buck Forum, the most affordable members-only sharing, caring, and business-building site to date. We’re so happy with all the features of the forum, the Webinars, the courses, and of course, the cameraderie and networking. For the price of a Happy Meal, you can be part…
Announcing….
It’s here! Introducing the Five Buck Forum! Built by Anne Wayman and yours truly, the forum is a comprehensive meeting place for writers and creatives that offers support, advice, resources, and discounts on Webinars and ebooks. Anne and I have built it with you in mind. We’ve talked to you, heard what you’ve said, and…
The Winning Partnership
Yesterday was productive. I spent a good deal of time working on my personal project, my project with Anne, and another chunk of the large project that hit my in box around noon. If all goes well, I should be able to bill for the large one this week, which means I’ll surpass my monthly…
Charging for Consulting
Look for big news from Anne Wayman and me tomorrow – to get notified directly, sign up here. No spam, I promise. We had a great tweetup yesterday afternoon. Thanks to those who could make it and to those who spread the word. It was a nice manageable group, and we had a good time,…
Ideas and How to Use Them
Time once again for a tweet-up! Anne and I are hosting one this afternoon. To join, head to Twitter and use the #writingsquared hashtag. (Best way is to make a column in your viewer just for that hashtag.) Yesterday was productive despite a “travel hangover” and the lack of several promised files. I worked ahead…
Hitting the Ground Running
Good morning! I’ve been gone a total of three working days, but it feels like years. The switch in cultures from here to my favorite fishing hole is so drastic that you can notice the change even in how you behave. It’s quiet there. Situated facing the river with bays on either side, the cottage…
This Job, Not That Job
Just because I’m away doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun. So why not a round of This Job, Not That Job to placate ourselves as summer becomes a shrinking memory? This beauty came via Twitter, where I didn’t have enough characters to tell him what I really thought: #freelance #writing #job – Make my…
The Subject Line
Still north of the US, where I hope there’s less rain and even less 9/11 talk. I have my own memories of that awful day. It’s nice that we want to remember. It’s kind of awful (to me, anyway) that we have to make a huge television event out of it. Something very wrong about…
Giving in to Lethargy
As I bask in the “balmy” lake district of Ontario, I wanted to leave you with something to discuss and debate. I have this strange work process that seems to kick in out of the blue. I get lazy. I work my tail off when I have projects that are due immediately, but give me…
Starting in the Middle
Good Tuesday to you! Feels odd starting in the middle of the week, but here we are. Had a great week last week. How was the holiday weekend? It rained for part of ours. My son wasn’t able to come for a visit, so we decided to head to a meditation retreat at the last…
