Sunday, January 22, 2006Fuel your Fire - Three Cliches You SHOULD Follow...I've always wanted to be a writer, ever since I was a little girl. My brother and I used to have our own "fake newspaper" that we composed on pages of notebook paper, still assembled like a book but missing the cover.

I try, and I think most weeks and months I succeed. That could be because I am obsessed, or it could be because I am just that good. I'm hoping for the latter! But by writing something each and every day, I don't think they mean you have to...

I've tried, on several occasions - after being laid of, and after being terminated because of my freelance writing. I work part-time at a small publishing company, writing articles, putting newsletters on...

Even when at rest, a typical writer's brain is still whirring away - even if subconsciously. We writers never really take a vacation in the truest sense. Our work, our livelihood, is generally also our... Sign in to see full entry.Wednesday, January 11, 2006Invest in Yourself!Tonight I took a break and didn't do any writing for cash. I really needed to, but I spent time working on a website with a friend, catching up with old friends and snapping a few random pictures. I also posted three articles to C-C, in the hopes that I might sell something. They've got reprint...

For some reason, some projects appeal to me more than others, and it's usually the projects that pay more handsomely that suffer. Why this is, I do not know. Today I had wanted to go to a gym and start taking pilates...

It takes time, effort, energy and mental alertness. It also takes some creativity. If you really want to sell your article, you've got to sell yourself first. Your query letter has got to be...

I just did two hours of yoga with my sister, which was awesome - both our first times doing yoga or anything like it. I am hungry all of a sudden and really wish I could eat something. I just ate one cookie since finishing our yoga... Sign in to see full entry. |
