Kristy Thank you! Don't worry I won't bound around the blog willey-nilley, I have a plan :0) Jenny The identity thing is difficult, I tend to use certain turns of phrase and had to find a way to refer to my experience without blowing cover. :0) Deb I'm glad you liked it! That pleases me to no end. This whle contest has been really, really fun. I'm glad I joined up!

Excellent post #3! Keeping one’s identity is tricky. I’m pleased to see the broad range of coverage and I’m also glad to hear that you do have 3 specific niches which of course you can not reveal to us at this time.

All the best in the competition.

#4 Thanks for the compliment! That is my niche for FWJ – I do intend to cover a broader range of freelance writing topics. Because I have extensive experience in several genres I am in the position where I can not only give news, tips and advice I can move seamlessly between the genres to better serve the community as a whole.

Without giving my secret identity away – in my personal freelancing career I do have 3 niches I focus on and one is all things freelance. I hope that defines me a little bit more for ya!

Great post! I agree with #4 that it sounds like you’ll cover a broad range of topics, which is fine in my opinion, but there really should be niche tying everything together for continuity. From your broad range of experience, I’m guessing you have one. I’d like to know what that is.

Again, nicely done! Best of luck!

#3, this is quite persuasive and comprehensive. Very well done! My only concern is that your “Laser-sharp focus…” paragraphs seems to promise coverage of a broad range of topics rather than a niche. Don’t get me wrong–there’s nothing wrong with broad coverage–but I got the impression from this post that you didn’t have a niche (perhaps you do).
