Where Do You Draw the Line between Busy and Lazy?

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I often find myself making up excuses of one or the other. But... I am not so sure that I've perfectly defined which is which. I think busy means you get done the things you absolutely have to do, and then you fit in whatever you want to do as best you can. There... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm back... Is anyone still here?!

After a few years of silence, I've returned. I am looking forward to blogging with you all again. Things have been busy for me -- I've gotten married (a few months before I stopped posting), bought a house, and adopted the most adorable puppy. I'll share details soon, but I wanted to let you know I... Sign in to see full entry.

What are some fun things for married couples to do, other than the obvious?

I feel like we do a lot of TV watching and movie watching, and sleeping and such, but what is there to do besides? I think the winter is full of much downtime. Still happy and in love, but just wondering what else there is for we married couples to be doing, hehe. Sign in to see full entry.

The Sleepy Husband

Somehow, he managed to fall asleep during an alien movie. How, I do not know. I am usually too on the edge of my seat during scary movies to fall asleep. He's been sleeping peacefully, cuddled up on the couch for about an hour and a half now. I just got done cleaning the living room, dining room,... Sign in to see full entry.

Writing Tip: Invoice Often, Not When You Feel Like It

The sooner you get paid, the sooner you can pay your own bills or stash that money in your bank account. The sooner you stash the cash in the bank, the more interest you can make between now and the time you take it out. I even think this applies for Blogit. My original goal was to make it to $300...

Writing My Way to a Wedding

So no one really wants to pay for my wedding. Not the groom, surely not his parents, and not my parents, since his parents feel that way. So I've taken it upon myself to write my fingers to the bone and write every spare moment I get so I can earn as much money and collect on as many invoices as... Sign in to see full entry.

Why I've Been Gone for So Long.... MANY Dreams Come True... ( ! )

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing great! I just wanted to drop a quick line to let you know I am still alive and to let you know why I've been gone for so long. My sweetheart J and I bought a house together in February. We closed on it on Friday, February 16. The very next week we left for a... Sign in to see full entry.

Freelance Writing Tip: Are You Bad at INVOICING? I am. Here's How to Improv

e. Weee! I don't know why, but I'd rather do more work than collect on the work I've already done.... Almost as if the money will somehow find its way to my house, or better yet, to my bank account, before I even send formal documentation asking for it! Well, one of my New Year's Resolutions is to...

How being firm can earn you more money...

In the beginning, when I first started writing, I wouldn't turn down a job if it was paid work. I could make $5 per article, and I would bust my tail to make that five bucks. I still do that sometimes, but usually only when I am selling my articles as reprints. It isn't that I've become a writing... Sign in to see full entry.
