What’s on the iPod: It Doesn’t Matter Anymore by Linda Ronstadt Had a great weekend thanks in part to a sunny, warm Saturday and an Irish sessions on Sunday. We managed Saturday to get the yard in shape for spring, and if I’d had seeds, there would have been peas in the ground. I’ve been…
Worthy Tip: This Job, Not That Job
What I’m reading: Late Wife by Claudia EmersonWhat’s on the iPod: Better Together by Jack Johnson I have a guest post up over at About Freelance Writing. Give it a look when you can. Oh, if I had a nickel for every lousy job offer I’ve come across, I’d have more money than the jobs…
Stealth Networking
What’s on the iPod: She’s Mine by Brett Dennen Slow day yesterday in terms of projects being billed, but not so slow in terms of projects being developed. Two in the pipeline could be both lucrative and fun. How often does that happen? I had time to read a CRM (customer relationship management) magazine that…
Guest Post: Being Artsy Isn’t a Career
What’s on the iPod: Flame by Scott Blasey Jenn Mattern is a virtual traveler. She’s decided to go on a month-long blog tour this month, and her second stop on the tour is this very blog. Amen. I was thrilled when she offered to share her wit and wisdom with us, and the post below…

What I’m reading: The Jungle by Upton SinclairWhat’s on the iPod: Something Good by The Airborne Toxic Event Wow. Never say out loud how organized you are and how you’re going to finish your project.

Maximizing the Impact
What I’m reading: The Jungle by Upton SinclairWhat’s on the iPod: Unbelievable by Diamond Rio I managed to finish my large project edits yesterday, four blog posts for another client, and an edit of yet another client’s project. Productive and lucrative day. I don’t normally track my daily earnings (it’s too nerve-wracking), but I did…
Finding Good in the Bad
What’s on the iPod: Awake the Soul by Mumford & Sons Yesterday was a gift. Not that all days aren’t gifts, but this one was the gift of time. I had a large project I needed to put some polish to, and I was able to get through much of it yesterday. I was thankful…
Dude, Where’s My Check?
What I’m reading: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot DiazWhat’s on the iPod: Almost Famous by Eminem I wished for, and got, a slow day yesterday. It was nice to relax and settle in on a Monday. There were a few projects I could have done, but I concentrated instead on the…
