If it could get in my way yesterday, it did. I sat down at seven am to get my NanoWriMo writing done. By nine it was obvious that wasn’t happening. I was interrupted six times, then the phone started ringing. Sorry Mom, I have to go. Then some banking and other essential errands at noon….

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…

Simultaneous Submissions
It’s been a good week of work. I spent yesterday morning out of the office (shuttle service for a routine test – his this time, not mine). Despite that, I was able to get back to the desk around eleven and get a small project done. I spent the afternoon doing something few of us…

Holiday Shopping
Running early this morning – I try to schedule doctor’s appointments for as early as I can get them. Today, it’s for 7:30. Amen. I can be back and working by 9:00. Yesterday was great. I handed in the second of the three articles due this month, and the check arrived already for the one…

Working With PR
Busy day again, amen. I finished a large project (just a section – more on the way), and got some smaller stuff accomplished. I worked on a personal project, then it was off to the pool to relax. Finally. I feel like I’ve been running through my week. It’s going to get worse before it…

Many Points of Contact
What I’m reading: Sweet Thursday by John SteinbeckWhat’s on the iPod: King of Diamonds by Motopony Wow, just head off to lunch thinking you have tons of time….the emails must have come in instantly after I left the house. Five urgent requests, all of them a priority. I sorted through quickly and got to the…

The Follow Through
What I’m reading: Sweet Thursday by John Steinbeck I’m slowly getting back into my routine post-Vancouver and post-Mom. Yesterday was a good work day. I managed a number of interviews, some articles, and a few blog posts. Today, a little more of the same. Plus I have a few more business cards from the conference…

Quick & Easy Traps
What’s on the iPod: Fear of Falling by The Badlees What a day yesterday. I’d like to tell you how much work I accomplished. I’d like to tell you how much marketing happened. I’d like to – but I can’t. I managed the Home page for a Web project, a phone call with a potential…

It’s All in the Perspective
What’s on the iPod: Ten Thousand Things by The Avett Brothers Yesterday was one of those productive days that makes me glad to be a freelancer. I managed a crazy schedule without interruption because A) I work from home, B) I don’t have to attend meetings, and C) the commute time is better spent writing….
