I just looked in on my membership pages and discovered that I have 250 active members here. That is phenomenal when you consider that I’ve only been writing this blog since January and have deleted all of the spammers email addresses, so this is a genuine list. Now I wonder if it’s time to write […]

If I like the terms and agree to the contract, I will be entering into a Joint Venture agreement with John Assaraf in the next week or two to begin writing copy for some of his clients starting in August. “How did that happen?” you may be wondering! I wrote a lot of copy for

At today’s UCN networking meeting I got three glowing testimonials, two from people I edited and copy-enhanced pieces for (Pam Richardson of Homestreet Bank and Sandra K. Austin of Health Transformationz) and Eli Struck of Enlighting Design (who is working on a postcard campaign for my Chicago chiropractic client based on copy I wrote for

As difficult as it is, at times, to make a living as a Creative (writer, singer, dancer, musician, actor, etc.) there’s simply “no business like show business.” You feel delighted as often as you feel desperate.

I’m getting along famously with a new client and was able to refer a power partner (Eli Struck of Enlighting Design in Kent) to him, too! Lovin’ my life! The funny thing is that, this morning, the client mentioned that he hoped I wouldn’t be offended or put off that his team tweaked a couple

Goodness, who opened the floodgates? I have been inundated with projects the past few days! I’ll also be getting a long-overdue payment of $450 from a client I served more than three years ago. She had to declare bankruptcy but promised she’d pay me when she got back on her feet, and this week she’s
Today after a networking meeting I experienced a cranio-sacral session with Debi G. in Puyallup. Oh … my … gosh …. *sigh* *sigh* *sigh* How can I possibly describe what happened during the 60 minutes I was on her table? I’ll do my best, but you really have to experience it to truly understand it.

Like most people, I love helping my friends, and even lots of strangers. Twice this week I’ve tweaked friends’ marketing materials who are in networking meetings I attend. I didn’t expect financial compensation because I know they’ll be giving me kudos publicly and sending more people my way, and what I did for them took

Oh, the life of a Creative! We never know if the phone will ring again or if another job will ever come over the ‘Net. Then suddenly it does. A new client “discovers” me or is referred to me and can’t seem to get enough–until they run out of stuff for me to write for

Every time I suffer a loss of some significance, I clean like one possessed. Today after helping Lisa move to her new abode (not more than a mile and a half away) I came back and started cleaning the house like a maniac. It’s crazy. I have zero doubt I’ll be seeing Lisa almost as
