I can so relate. I write the beginnings of poems on the backs of receipts and type out notes to myself and save them as drafts in my Gmail. I get inspiration in the shower, too. It flows too quickly to write it down — and then I fear it will be lost forever. It does sound like you could benefit from using some kind of voice recorder so you can record your inspiration quicker. I need to get one myself!

I always, ALWAYS have a moleskin notebook in my back pocket for this reason. I always get hit with ideas at night and do my writing during the day, so I am never at my desk when inspiration hits. Whenever anyone starts asking me about writing I say: “Step 1: Write every day and Step 2: carry an ideas notebook everywhere”

I know the feeling of having a must-write-down-immediately thought, and I keep pens/paper everywhere, too. I even carry around a small voice recorder at times!

ok, correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t I get several $1,000+ gigs through leads I found on this site in the last 12 months? (YES! I did!)

I also subscribe to Anne’s newsletter, and visit online-writing-jobs.com/ daily – and they, too, are great resources.

of course, I continue to seek out clients the old fashioned way (through connections and person to person outreach).

but wow – I certainly don’t feel that your leads are cheap or low-quality by any means.

keep up the good work!

Similar to Sharon’s comment, a lot of the leads I found on FWJ a long time ago have stayed with me, which is great.

I also supplement leads from FWJ with contacts in my network, which is quite strong thanks to Twitter. I know enough people now that those in the travel industry know me and now who to go to when it is a job suited to me.

It’s all a mix. Some weeks there isn’t anything new except a shout out from FWJ, and other weeks stuff drips in from all angles.
