Blog Challenges are Good Discipline

By klee on Sunday, April 3rd, 2011 | 9 Comments

I have determined that participating in blog challenges is good discipline as a writer. Even on days when I’m NOT doing any other type of writing (which is infrequent), it’s enjoyable to write in blogs – more relaxed and no specific format to follow. Actually, even on days when I have to do other structured [...]

Addicted? Me?

By klee on Wednesday, March 16th, 2011 | 7 Comments

I never thought it would happen. I’ve read about this sort of thing. You try it once, and then decide it’s good, fun, and exciting … you indulge your craving more, and more, and more … until you can’t stop. You can’t break the habit – suddenly, it’s an addiction!! OK, I confess … I’m [...]

I began discussing using social media last night as a means to promote your writing. Among the suggestions for some types of social media are the following: *Blogging – of course – and participating in blog challenges, such as the Ultimate Blog Challenge (next one starts in April!) and the 31 Days Blog Challenge (this [...]

OK, so I’m putting off my continuation of New Writer Tips one more day to make this special announcement: I’m going to participate in another blog challenge!

Looking for Paid Blogging Jobs?

By klee on Thursday, February 17th, 2011 | 6 Comments

So I’ve only been personally and consistently active in the blogging world for the past several weeks, thanks to the Ultimate Blog Challenge. However, prior to that, I have had/still have several paid blogging jobs – some with bylines, some “ghostwriting.” Pay has varied greatly, from less than a penny per word (yeah, that was [...]

February & Accountability

By klee on Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 | 4 Comments

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 [...]

Last Saturday in January – already?

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 [...]

The “21″ Principle

By klee on Friday, January 21st, 2011 | 2 Comments

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 [...]

Enjoying Writing Again

By klee on Wednesday, January 5th, 2011 | 5 Comments

Seriously, I had forgotten how enjoyable it is to just write freely and creatively, without the constraints of following a certain client’s format, or getting my own “voice” edited completely out of something I wrote. Many – MANY – years ago, I discovered a passion for writing creatively, but I sort of lost that somewhere [...]
