Guest Post Don’ts
What’s on the iPod: Have Love, Will Travel by The Sonics It’s a short, slow week. I’ll be traveling this holiday, as many of you may be. For me, I had decadent amounts of free time, so I was able to get some side project work done, sift through emails, and relax a bit. A…

Writers Worth: My A-ha Moment

Guest Post: Why You Can’t Find Higher Paying Work
Amen for friends. As I was busy dealing with my daughter’s illness, a note came in from Samar Owais. She and I had talked about her writing a guest post for a while, and there it was when I needed it most. Thank you, Samar. Your timing is excellent. I swear I didn’t ask Samar…
