Once upon a time, my weekly link love posts were an anticipated event. After a while however, I was so busy building up someone else’s brand, I began forgetting about my own. Weekend Link Love fell by the wayside. As a result, the FWJ community began missing out on some really good stuff. Today, I’m happy to bring you some terrific weekend link love. I can’t promise this every weekend (yet), but I can promise I’m back and FWJ is on the front burner once again.
Here’s what I’m reading this weekend:
- Top 10 Signs You Are Not Cut Out to Freelance – Freelance Rant
- A Visit with Descriptive Writing – Blogging Tips
- Who Are You Writing For – Your Prospects or Google? – Bob Bly
- Three Steps that Guarantee Every World of Your Copy Gets Read
- O Desk Lists the Top 100 Freelance Blogs – Good list even though FWJ didn’t make the cut.
- Working with Difficult Clients – When to Stay & Educate, When to Leave - The Copywriters Underground
- 15 Punchy Copywriting Tips - at Copywriters Crucible
- Blogs to Books: An Upcoming Trend? at Daily Blog Tips
- Twitter for Freelancers at Freelance Folder
- The Freelancers Battle: Fighting Distraction and Staying Productive at Freelance Folder
- How to Handle Price Objections at Freelance Switch
- How to Use a Magazine to Improve Your Blog – at ProBlogger
Have a great weekend – what are you reading (no fair linking to your own stuff – show some love for someone else!)





How does a writing website have bad grammar? The first thing I read: “Once upon a time, my weekly link love posts we’re…” Come on.
Thanks Carrie. Sometimes I post and run – a bad habit as the FWJ community can attest.
These look like some great links. Darn it! Don’t you know I don’t have time to blog hop this weekend?
I have bathrooms to clean. Oh well, must prioritize. I’ll be blog hopping!
Did a big series of links posts myself recently, but since then I’ve checked out Cory Doctorow’s take on the Google Book Search situation:

edittorrent’s requirements for a pitch (or query), which I saw first linked to on Query Shark:

and Slate’s piece about the Al-Qaida manual that’s just surfaced and the fact that it’s aimed for people with no experience or knowledge of terrorism (Slate called it “Terrorism for Dummies”):
