I’m excited to tell you about a newsletter we’re launching for FWJ. The FWJ community has been asking for one and I’ve been toying with for a while, but wanted to make sure the you will receive value from a newsletter – even a free newsletter. I’ve never been a fan of blogging newsletters that feature the same exact things posted to the blog each week. Well, we will have that, but much more. Coming soon, the FWJ newsletter will feature: Blog posts, news and gigs from around the FWJ network. Past gems from the FWJ archives. Advice and tips [Read more…]

We spent Saturday at a raucous family gathering. To be honest, I’m still not feeling well and wanted to stay home and catch up on administrative tasks. About 15 minutes into the gathering, I realized how happy I was to be there. I didn’t think about my email once, nor did I worry about unmoderated comments or if advertisers were trying to contact me. I think every now and then I need reality check to remind me that while this business is important, there are other things in life. Glad I took time to enjoy good company and conversation this [Read more…]

Lordy, it was chilly this morning. After spending the past week in Las Vegas, the frost on the pumpkin was a rude awakening. I’m not a cold weather person, but this time of the year is so pretty. Please excuse the brief kumbaya, but I’m feeling especially blessed today. It’s a beautiful day, the world outside my window is alive with color, I’m self sufficient, and I have an amazing support group. I have a couple of announcements to make this morning and I feel so good about bringing them to you. The first is about me giving back, and [Read more…]

It’s Monday, the beginning of a new week and a clean slate. Hope it’s a good start for you. I want to congratulate a friend of FWJ, Sandy Mitchel, on publishing her second book.

It’s the last day of the month so I imagine many of you are fulfilling all your end of the month quotas and obligations. After being away for much of the last week I thought I might stay up late working last night. I changed my mind and decided to unplug early – before dinner, even. No regrets. I may be up until 3:00 a.m. tonight but the family time and relaxation was so worth it. I even slept through my alarm this morning, but I don’t recommend that. When was the last time you blew off work and unplugged? [Read more…]

I spent most of yesterday trying to get into a gmail account which, for some reason, wouldn’t allow me in. Frustration. Thanks for your patience, by the way. I’m still catching up from my trip and there are a lot of leads to go through. I’m sure I’ll be posting earlier as my workload gets back to normal. Some news: If you’ve been considering attending the Copywriting Success Summit, please note October 1 is the last day you can take advantage of the $100 discount. After that all tickets will be full price. Here’s my original post regarding the summit, [Read more…]

As you are no doubt well aware, we made some changes. In addition to making a prettier blog, I wanted the Freelance Writing Jobs home page to provide better navigation to this and the other six blogs in this network. This should be the last format change for a very long time. The Men with Pens outdid themselves this time, didn’t they? I’d like to thank them for all their hard work and patience throughout the evolution of FWJ. If you have a blog design/redesign or other project, do give them a ping. They’re top notch and they rock the [Read more…]
