It will be helpful to understand further how writers work. Although I am not a writer but it may provide that little hint when selecting writers for projects. And yea, Happy Birthday to your blog. Hope everything's well with ya. I gotcha in my feed reader, I'm not here but I am still reading! Sounds pretty good a series, and I am looking forward to it.

Since this series will be more a birds eye view at what I did, do in my business, you might only see what works for me, but in the end, exactly the same might work for you too. Thank you for voicing your concerns, it helps me to help you guys and I appreciate any and all questions from my readers. :-) @ Beelissa: Stay posted, I will try to incorporate these since they are an integral part of a freelancers life.

But they actually did the "you know what" the other day which was awesome to see. Our princess who has been part of the family for some 6 years now has finally found a boyfriend and it looks we might get little babies in the future. @ Cath: LOL, I wish they would.

What I mean is we could take hours to perfect an article when it would be well written within half the time or less. Getting up speed is definitely a priority otherwise you will be working for peanuts. It sounds though you are on the right track, so keep it up. You will find with lots of practice things will fall into place. @ Lissie: One trap we freelance writers can fall into is the “get it perfect” syndrome.

I have this problem in my whole life, but especially with writing, tasks take longer than I think they will to complete. How to find time to continue to promote myself and look for new jobs when I'm under a deadline for an existing job, and still get enough sleep at night. If your series touches on either of these, I, for one, would find it helpful. :-) There are a lot of things I’m struggling with as I seek to make money doing freelance writing, but the 2 I’d most like help with are these:

But can your birds really do the twist? I am sitting here trying to imagine you teaching them this. Monika – this sounds like a brilliant idea. But can your birds really do the twist?
