Hi
I've recently gone full time freelance as a journalist / blogger for hire. My personal (travel) blog seems all consuming (esp the promotion of it on SM sites and of course all the sweet distractions they bring) and I've been seriously neglecting chasing up paid work/querying editors etc.
I keep getting good ideas for pieces but then forgetting them, who they were for or simply not pitching them in time.
Does anyone have any good resources they use (or even blank templates they wouldn't mind sharing) for easily noting and tracking this stuff please?
Like Idea A suitable for editors 1, 2 and 3, send by date, follow up date, result etc
Simple tools for organising your thoughts and helping you stick to a routine of noting ideas, querying them & following up.
Thanks
