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

Waaahhh! A little over a year and a half ago ago I gained a best friend, Lisa Twining Taylor. We met because she needed a copywriter, so at first our association was business-related. She wanted to start networking here in western Washington (which is where she’s from originally) so she came over and stayed a

You can get your web copy or content done right… OR You can get it done cheap. Ne’er the twain shall meet. A responsible teaching hospital wouldn’t hire a first year medical student to do brain surgery on any of its patients. A responsible parent wouldn’t allow a toddler to steer a Harley.

Wow! No other word in the English language can explain the way CurbZilla transformed our home’s lawn and garden areas into aesthetically pleasing, park-like showcases. The new curbs have only been sculpted in place for a few hours and four neighbors have already stopped by to look them over, nod and smile, and heartily approve!

One nice perk of always being on the lookout for writing work is that I find prospective clients looking to have e-books written on topics I’d love to tackle, but they want to pay peanuts to have someone write it for them and then disappear: no shared royalties, no AS TOLD TO, no acknowledgement inside
