Raven,
That's awful... I wonder what that editors about that she (or he?) has to build herself up by making other people feel bad. This is a blessing that she said no to the article--who wants to work with someone like that?
And absolutely to what Barb said.
Sky--Isn't On Writing Well AMAZING? I love that book and always recommend it to new writers.
Everyone else-welcomes and hugs and high fives all around where appropriate. I've missed you all.
Wow... January, usually the longest month for me, just completely flew by in a blink. It is sooo true what parents say about kids.
LOL
I'm going into Feb w/ many, many assignments. Goals/Deadlines:
- Blog at least 3 X a week at BOL... I did well in January with this, putting up 16 posts in total, for 4 X a week!!
- Blog at least 2 X a week for my other gig.
- Blog at least 2 X a week for
www.allcotmedia.com (My ANything that Pays blog).
Assignments:
- 3 Church features all due mid-month
- Get headstart on fourth feature, due beginning of March
- 3 Church personality profiles, due end of month
- At least 2 Feng Shui articles (goal is to get to 4 X a month for this client)
- Harass my newest Audiovisual client to give me work!! LOL He promised two assignments a month and I've had one since Nov... gotta find out what's going on.
- Get ahead and write column for Paintball Sports for next issue
- One fitness article, due mid-month
- Personal essay on Ashley Lyn's birth story for You&Memagazine (he wants to see it on spec)
AND...
- 2 queries to major national publications (yup, time to get started on this).
I am also uploading content at Bukisa.com for some residual income to get me through hard times. I had to dip into my savings to pay January's bills, and I really want to replace that money. Also trying to sell re-prints, etc.
