Freelance writing: First media invite
Yesterday I was contacted by my editor, for one of the technology websites where I’m writing, regarding a technology event that will be held the second week in July. It’s an invitation only event. The products won’t be released until the fall.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend. The event will be held in New [...]

A change in plans; Daughter attending school this fall
I’ve been homeschooling my daughter since birth. Originally, I had thought I would have her home with me for several years; however, this coming school year she will be going to school. It’s similar to a homeschooling setting it just happens to be based in a school setting.

This job differs from the other technical writing jobs that I have in that the owner wants us to write commentaries. He wants us to write our opinions with the articles [...]
Freelance writing; Trying to get my groove back
Just as Stella got her groove back at times, I need to go out and reclaim my writing groove. Yesterday I was trying to think of the best way to start writing an article; nothing came to me. Have you ever been there? Instead of wasting my time worrying about that, I wrote the middle [...]
Do you write for page views or are you writing from the heart?
Interesting title, right? It popped in my mind while I was cruising one of my favorite spots on the cyber highyway, Michele is a amazing freelance writer and she wrote a post titled Writing From Our Hearts, it’s an excellent read and it was one of those posts that made me think about something that [...]
Freelance Writing: First week with my new writing job is coming to an end
The first week of freelance writing with the new technology website is coming to a close, and thus far it is my favorite technology job. The bar is set a lot higher than the other technology jobs that I write for. The first one that I write for being the lowest, second a lot higher, [...]
