I'm trying to get a post up before 10 am every day.... I've managed it for three days now.

This morning, I posted a very basic primer on deducting business expenses. I've run across a lot of freelancers who seem to have a lot of questions about the topic, so I figured I'd start trying to handle some of the basics.

Debut author talks about her two-book deal with Putnam

I had the pleasure of interviewing Danette Vigilante, who just landed a two-book deal with Putnam. The interview is posted on my blog today--please visit!

Hello Denver!

This makes post three of the day. A funny little conversation with my three year old son regarding the toys that have vanished to the toy graveyard beyond...

For those who haven't found my second post spotlight, there are a few magazine guideline links and information about the magazines on my blog as well. I posted the direct link in the freelance thread. There are more of those to come as well!

Here. Now.
I updated at TGLP about the clown in the barn and the beings who used to visit me when I was very young.

Wow! Everybody's really busy with their blogs! I'm with you Thursdayb- I'm trying to get back to that schedule too. I think it's important for people to know that if they check out your blog at a certain time, they can find fresh words.

Mysti- Three in one day? You are a stinkin' overachiever. I vote you most likely to succeed!

Jennifer, your interview is fabulous. Everyone should go check it out. It is not only inspiring, but also a great example of how to make a written-interview, super-engaging. Love the photos...that adds so much to it. Live and learn!

Hmmm...oh yeah, guess what? I just figured out how to upload a photo to my blog, within the text. I uploaded a photo of said-branch which threatened my life 24 hours ago. Go see it.

Posted Writing Prompt, Reaching Rocky Dreams

I posted an essay on my blog about using the Rocky Stairs as a writing prompt to find the story of achieving your greatest dream. It is based on a book written by Immersion Journalist Michael Vitez about parking himself at the top of the Philadelphia Museum of Art stairs, waiting for people to get out of their cabs and run up the stairs. Then he interviewed them to find their Rocky Story. It's a good exercise if you want a writing prompt for your own life.

I've got a bit of a disjointed post up... diversifying your portfolio. This is why writing posts ahead of time is a good idea -- when you're feeling sick, it won't show in your writing.

Wordsmyth, thanks for your comment! I left one on your blog as well.

Given that this is the DID YOU UPDATE YOUR BLOG TODAY? thread, you could easily have a look see. That's where you'll find the answer to your question.

Today's blog: book review of caregiving for mother

My blog today is a book review about Mothering Mother by Carol O'Dell in which she cares for her mother with Alzheimer's. I was posting every other day for a few months, but since weekend traffic seems to fall off, I've decided to shoot for every Monday and Thursday.

"Caregiving Memoir Offers Lessons for Life"
