Thanks for the list of links. I’ve been to most of these sites before, but Confident Writer was new to me. Always nice to find more good stuff out there.

I will be expecting a cool graphic for us DADS come Father’s Day

@Adam: I would second Cute PDF Writer over using Open Office as a substitute. Despite claims, OO isn’t entirely compatible and isn’t “just like” Office. I’d much rather buy the Office Suite and use the PDF Writer.

Hi Deb!

Thanks for the link love to my post on Freelance Folder. I LOVE the image. I guess it’s one of those things you get, or you don’t.

As for the guest bloggers, keep it up!

Hilarious double-standard image. If it said, “Dads: They’re Like Moms, Only Smarter!” you’d never post it. Some of these are great links – pity they’re right alongside such a snobby image.

@Deb – You and your lemmings are all dumb clucks. You go on and on about the most trite B.S. I have ever seen and then congratulate each other about how brilliant it all is. Some of these gues bloggers have written such garbage it’s a shame to waste the space to print it.

Get over yourselves!!!!

I notice in “9 essential tools for practical freelance writing” the author mentions open office is great because it allows you to make PDF files without owning a full copy of acrobat explorer.

If you’re addicted to MS word, or some other word processor but still want to make free and easy PDF files, do a Google search for a program called “Cute PDF writer.”

It’s as easy to use as printing a document.

Likewise; I think the guest blogging was a great idea! It’s wonderful to get a wide range of ideas from people with different backgrounds.

Great roundup this week! I’ve just recently entered the freelance writing game and an eager to put this great advice into practice. In fact, my first proposal was accepted by a major publisher and I am now working on the final manuscript. Hopefully, with these ideas I’ll be able to increase my acceptance rate over time.

Thanks for the link, Deb, and for the others as well. There were actually a couple I’d missed reading this week!

Oh, and happy Mother’s Day.
