Making Sense Of Writing It Down
As a freelance writer, you may well end up having to interview sources and you will need a way of keeping track of the information. I always travel with a recording device, spare batteries, a power cable and a notebook. I’m not talking about a laptop, but an old fashioned notebook with lines in it [...]
Setting Freelance Writing Goals
Freelance writing is like any other business – you have to set goals to make it a success. When I went freelance a year or so ago, my goal was to make enough money working from home to replace my former salary as a part time lecturer. It was five months before I made any [...]
It Shouldn’t Happen To A Freelance Writer
Now that I’m a freelance writer, I’m happy doing what I’ve always wanted to do, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. For the first time in a long time (and I mean LONG), I had a piece of work returned to me for revision. It’s a research job, looking for additional information to accompany [...]
My Laptop Disaster Recovery Plan
As a working writer you should always have a plan B for when technology lets you down. It’s my own fault. I should have known better. In fact, I usually do. When I first owned a computer in the early 1990s, I fell prey to a Word macro virus. I got my act together, installed [...]

This makes you a real person, builds a relationship and keeps people coming back to the site. So I did. I found [...]
Freelance Writing On Inspired Author
As you know, I manage the freelance writing topic for InspiredAuthor.com. When I began to write, I used some of the posts from this blog as a starting point, then extended and hopefully improved them by adding examples. Just as with WritingUp, I was forced to think about what I’ve learned as a freelance writer, [...]
My Writing Week, June 4-10, 2006
I’m on a bit of a roll now. I’ve been doing some writing for Lifetips on fruit, video chat and Spanish (more about that in another post), while trying to keep up with my blogs. The schedule is hectic, partly my own fault for doing some really bad writing late at night. The result was [...]
Five Questions To Help Writers Get Paid
As a freelance writer, it’s your job to keep editors and publishers happy. Aside from the issue of professional integrity, it’s a good way to make sure you’re asked to write for a publication again. One of the best ways of doing this is to be clear on exactly what a commission entails. To do [...]
Vote For The Best Writing School
Here’s a bit of fun for a rainy day (at least, it’s raining here). There’s a new vote in town. Novel Writer magazine is running a poll on which is the best online writer’s school. This got me to thinking about the value of writing courses.
I’m probably old fashioned. I learned to write by [...]
