Just Do It! NaNoWriMo
by Sarah E. White
It’s almost November, and for thousands of writers and would-be writers the world over, that means it’s almost time for the high-octane, caffeine-fueled novel-writing extravaganza that is National Novel Writing Month.
If you’ve never heard of National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, as it’s called by those who know and […]

But seriously, folks, does anyone have a part-time assistant or intern for their home-based, single-person business? I’ve been thinking about looking into internships (read: free help) and would love input from anyone who’s hosted one before. Please e-mail me with your comments.__________________________________________www.kristenkingfreelancing.comFinalist in 2006 Writer’s Digest Best Writer’s Website Contest

We bought the palm tree a few months ago to balance out the living room. It started dying immediately. We re-potted it. It kept dying. We tried plant food. It kept dying. We tried watering it more, then less, then the same. It kept dying. We dragged […]

This weekend I made some alterations to my website. Although it seemed to be getting the job done, the home page just didn’t feel quite right. It was too formal or something. It didn’t give enough of an idea of my personality. The same thing was happening with the about page. […]

Thanks to Freecycle, my local hospital, and the Chancellor Recycling center, my more than 100 magazines (and several dozen of my hubby’s mags) are no more! I’ve also gotten rid of the (ugly) porcelain doll I received as a gift, a suitcase we never use, a rolling duffel bag, a demitasse set that’s missing […]

If anyone’s looking for a really fantastic way to spend a couple of hours, I highly recommend going to see The Prestige, starring Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, and Scarlett Johansson. It was quite easily the best movie I’ve seen in the last two years. It left me absolutely speechless. Go. You […]

On a whim, I decided to download the new version of Internet Explorer. I’m so glad I did! It’s better than the old one, and it’s incorporated the things I liked about Firefox without sticking me with the things I didn’t like. AND I don’t know how they’ve done it, but […]

Thanks to my endless complaining about my messy office, and Julia’s kind suggestion of a solution to my clutter problem, today I truly discovered the wonder that is Freecycle. A few quick clicks and a short e-mail later, I’ve already gotten rid of a good 50+ mags, and more folks are on their way […]

Yes, folks, that’s HOARDER. Don’t be mean. I’m thinning the magazine collection THIS WEEKEND. Goodbye, Health from 2004. Goodbye, InStyle and Fashion (where did you guys come from anyway?). Goodbye, Southern Living, which I never read anyway. Goodbye, random issues of miscellaneous mags I brought home from the doctor’s office/library […]

The good news is that a project I accepted is running late, so I get a 20% rush fee to keep it as close to schedule as possible. The bad news is that I have to work all weekend. I wish I weren’t so committed to being able to pay my bills…
