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

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.

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
Just in the nick of time, I’m getting enough money in the coffers to meet my routine obligations during this (routinely) molasses-slow month. God is good all the time! This morning I received a $75 bonus from a client I’ve been serving every few days for the last couple of weeks. He has loved everything

Being a lower-profile Creative (writer, web designer, actor, musician, etc.) comes with highs and lows, peaks and valleys, feast-or-famine times. Most Creatives have multiple streams of income because darned few are rolling in dough. I house-sit and pet-sit for friends occasionally, earn a stipend to serve in my church nursery a few hours a week,

Thought you might like to see an occasional example of my copy writing abilities. I just got a REPEAT PROJECT from a client who was over-the-moon about the Employment Opportunity posting I wrote for him (catch it below). If/when he’s equally happy about the video script I just wrote for him today, I will post
