Always Look

This sounds simple enough, but I have to share. I scan for my own name (I wrote most of my stuff under my maiden name, so what I'm finding is that people are adding older articles to the Internet databases all the time.) My clips are a pain to deal with, and I used all the newest technology and... Sign in to see full entry.

Five Things That Kill Your Writing

Five Things That Kill Your Writing by Kim Remesch I didn’t want to write on the actual process of writing in this blog. That’s done enough, I think, and by many who don’t sell anything, so I wanted to concentrate on selling. I have a few things I’ve kept for so long as must-do’s (or not-do’s) that I...

All Purpose Ideas...More Money, Same Work

All Purpose Ideas by Kim Remesch I rarely write about where to find ideas because 1)I can’t imagine not knowing what to write about and 2)ideas are personal things and one size doesn’t fit all. I’ve already spoken to my belief that specializing is a great marketing edge in the freelance writing... Sign in to see full entry.

Questions

I used to do a column on Inventors and Inventions. I'd feature two or three a column, a concept or pitfall of inventing, a how-two angle and a legal angle. Then I'd go to the question box. It covers all of those strange things that don't fit anywhere just right...but you know others have them so... Sign in to see full entry.

Forget the Muse. Put Your Rear End in a Seat and Do It

I'm doing a quick departure from my normal how-to stuff...because I can.:) It proves one thing: one of the best things about being a freelance writer is that when an idea comes to you, you can follow it down whatever path it leads. If you miss an opportunity, it's because you blew it---plain and... Sign in to see full entry.

To query, to query, to find a big check.

This will be broken into a few parts. To be honest, I have no business starting it now. It's nearly 1:30 a.m. here, and I'm scheduled to get up to take my daughter to the airport in a half an hour. Then I have to go to work for 10 hours. Hmmm. So, I'm running on no sleep and the potential of less.... Sign in to see full entry.

Get That Marketing Train in Gear---It's time to sell those Ideas

by Kim Remesch Okay, we’ve gone with the basic ways I research and get that train of thought going. Again, please adapt this to whatever makes sense for you. Now that you are starting to accumulate ideas, it’s time to think marketing. This discussion must be broken up into several parts to make it... Sign in to see full entry.

I Feel Like a Smudge. Sorry.

I started this series with the best of intentions. I really have a bunch of topics outlined, and I'll be better about posting on this, as I've gotten so much feedback from here and my writing group at yahoo. I took a day job that started last Monday, but still have unfinished (and expanding)... Sign in to see full entry.

So You Have Some Ideas---Now What?

So You Have Some Ideas---Now What? by Kim Remesch I always have to emphasize that you have to find a system that works for you. This is just mine. (I have received some questions, and they will fit in the next segment of this on how to direct ideas to specific publciations. So, please, keep any... Sign in to see full entry.

Getting Started---Deciding What to Write

I’ve said this to MayB before: I never comprehend people who say they want to be writers but can’t figure out what to write about. I want to detail how to stretch, use and reuse ideas until they are so threadbare, there’s not enough left of them to put in the trash, but we need to start with the... Sign in to see full entry.
