For instance, very few of them know that about 35% of their net income needs to be earmarked for taxes. It's so good to see sites for writers doing their best to inform freelancers about the business side of their writing. Nice work!

Typically, I work on it from the time I get up til I run a daughter to school. Still need more time, however. I had used weekends, too, but clients seem to come up with a lot of projects on Thursday that they need on Monday, so that's gone by the wayside.

I think an illness is the only thing that could convince me to take a full month's break from work. That actually sounds quite sad, but so true. And yay for Chinese New Year! My family celebrates it too. ♥ @Deb>> Thanks Deb! I think an illness is the only thing that could convince me to take a full month’s break from work. That actually sounds quite sad, but so true.

I currently can't even get to my filing cabinet. There is a tall pile of books and a frog cage in front of it. If I showed you my laptop desktop you would die. The only thing I do have organized is receipts and business expenses, but only because I scan them and email them to myself into a folder marked ACCOUNTANT. Otherwise, per the threat of two years ago, she will choke me. Apparently crumpled up in a shoe box is not the way to go. :-| Oh, Deb, you’re so organized.
