Freelancers Should Write for Themselves
Most of us freelance writing types spend our days taking care of our clients. We write our expected posts, catch up on that ghostwriting project, research the keywords for that new web site that wants our content.

I was spending a little time this morning going over my email from the last few days after a brief camping trip with my daughter. By the way, if you’d like to rediscover the meaning of curiosity, try going on long beach walks with a six year old. That should do it. I got back [...]
Are You Easy To Find?
The darned lawn mower broke. Seems the flim-flam key sheared when the doo-hicky valve closed too early because the thing-a-ma-bob busticated. Or something like that. After several phone calls and a few choice colorful words I located the folks who could probably take care of the problem. Here is a snippet of the phone conversation: [...]
