Writing Some New Content Daily...

So my new plan to help boost my writing sales and earnings is to write, write, write, at least one new piece of content for SOME publication or potential publication, at least once every other day. That means writing a minimum of 3-4 pieces a week - THAT ARE NOT PART of my current deadline schedule!... Sign in to see full entry.

Recycle Your Writing for Utmost Profit!

Want a Hint for Making More Money Writing...? It's all about RECYCLING, Baby! I have had (quite possibly) my favorite article published twice already and now I am considering a movement to query some new editors and see if I can sell a reprint or two. If at all possible, maintain the copyright... Sign in to see full entry.

Own the Rights? Sell, Sell and Sell Some MORE!

I'm Doing It and You Can Do It TOO!!! Man, I think I told you guys about that disease I have... the one where I can't relax until my work is done, and when all my deadlines are complete, I still can't relax till I line up some more work...?! Well, tonight for the first time on a week night in I... Sign in to see full entry.

Does Anyone Know a Professional ?

In my almost-quarter-century of life, I've spoken with and interviewed the inker for the Amazing Spiderman comics and also went on a date with a former Eagles football player. I've met the guys in the band Stroke 9 and interviewed them for an article in the school paper. I also met three out of four... Sign in to see full entry.

Oops, I did it again...

I hate to quote the britster but hey, i really didn't mean to wait this long to tackle my remaining two deadlines! I should have learned my lesson last week but at least I have one article most of the way completed. Again, I have two stories for the same publication... at least this time I have most...

CRAZINESS TAKES OVER!

Whew, I can breathe for just about a good night's sleep... if I can make it that far! I have just completed the second of two major articles for a local glossy mag. I'm actually pretty excited about the articles, but very, very drained and tired. The thing that stinks is a lot of the places I needed... Sign in to see full entry.

Pack a Punch with your Portfolio!

Sure, a resume, a nice cover letter and a decent writing sample gets you in the door for the interview, or at least gets you past the first cut. And OK, you had better be pretty attentive and well mannered to win over the interviewer or initial contact person. But honestly, your portfolio is huge.... Sign in to see full entry.

Last Minute OOPS!

Regular markets are great. You have your work lined up for the week, the month or maybe even the year, if you are lucky. You know when your deadlines are ahead of time and you can eyeball your list of assignments and estimate approximately what you can expect to reap financially for all your...

Writing is an Addiction...

About eight or ten things left to do on my to-do list for this evening and I'm planning on hitting the sack in a few moments. Sadly, I only accomplished about two or three things on my list, and the four that absolutely need to reach completion by the end of the week remain untouched, or at least...

Triple-Deadlining - How to Handle this and other Catastrophes!

So I just got back from vacation last night, and went back to work this morning, early as can be. Didn't get much sleep because it was weird sleeping in my own bed - alone - again. I had grown a little accustomed to having someone to snuggle with over the week away...:oP At any rate, I get back to... Sign in to see full entry.
