I am attempting to participate in the 31 Days Blog Challenge, although I’ve had interruptions and distractions along the way. Today’s task is to revive an old post, so it seemed appropriate to snag one from last August about a new month and new opportunities, since tomorrow is my birthday and it’s the end of [...]
Read More...I thought maybe I would expand on my previous post about what current writers wished they knew as new writers – and actually address new, aspiring writers. So in this post, I’m focusing on patience. *Patience as a writer – because like with anything in life, you normally don’t become a success overnight. You have [...]
Read More...Are you a mom who works from home? Need some support, input, job leads, or just general virtual conversation? Yesterday I mentioned Work Place Like Home (WPLH) – today I want to comment on another forum I frequent, called WAHM.com. As most of you in this stage of life know, a “WAHM” is a “Work [...]
Read More...Digging out from two snowstorms here in Maine – well over a foot of new snow! I’ll have to make tomorrow a picture day and post snow pictures! For now, however, I want to address the third of the three A’s of freelancing (at least the three I identified); I discussed action plan and accountability [...]
Read More...Happy February to everyone! Here in Maine, the new month is roaring in with another major snowstorm. It started early this afternoon, and has tapered off tonight, but apparently it’s just a “lull” with more heavy snow predicted for tomorrow – and over a foot of new snow in our area! Well, I can’t do [...]
Read More...I’m sure there are more than three “A” words related to freelancing, but I wanted to concentrate on three that have been most relevant for me in this first month of the new year of 2011. These words/terms are: *Action plan *Accountability *Accomplish goals RE: Action Plan In several posts, I have quoted the adage, [...]
Read More...I just want to know who wished this first month of 2011 would go by so quickly?! I mean, NEXT WEEK – Tuesday – is February 1st!! Not that February is a bad month, especially this year – it’s rather special, since it will be my hubby’s 40th b’day on the 9th (OK, he doesn’t [...]
Read More...*CONSISTENCY* That’s my word for the day – or it should be my word and GOAL for the YEAR!! Confession: I have been sadly “consistently inconsistent” for far too long. I’m referring primarily to work habits and lifestyle issues. After staying up until midnight yet again – after only getting about two hours of sleep [...]
Read More...Hey, I’m back – how about that, a “twofer” – well, I needed to do this for the Ultimate Blog Challenge(UBC), since I missed the first day. So I think most people have heard of this – that it takes 21 days to establish or break a habit, good or bad. I’m thankful for the [...]
Read More...That’s right – it’s snowing and blowing and I’m not going anywhere, SO … I’m declaring today an official pajama day! I’m wearing my comfy blue and penguin print flannel and thermal PJs (from Woman Within -LOVE their stuff!), plus my warm fleece snuggie.
