I don't believe in coincidences. I believe everything happens for a reason. Even if it's a crappy reason. Or even if I never find out the reason and I have to live in darkness for the rest of my life NOT KNOWING (which really sucks because society has sort of conditioned us to WANT TO ...
Back in June I mentioned that I needed to come up with a term for the type of writing I do. It's creative. But it's typically business related (real estate, mortgage and credit industries). I came up with a couple wacky names...but nothing has taken hold. I also mentioned that I know I need a ...
You see them out there. People with these brilliant ideas. Brilliant ideas that will make brilliant, best-selling books. Except they can't write worth a damn. So they want to work with a ghostwriter. They want a pro to write it up all pretty and then hand it over. And they don't have any money to cough up to ...
Yesterday's post sucked. At least I think it did. I felt pressured by my self-imposed "post a day" edict. And the day got away from me. So last night, when I really, really, really just wanted to go to sleep, I was cranking out a post. Stupid. I know. So if you think yesterday's post sucked, ...

Today's post over at Chrisblogging.com got me thinking. Two things: 1) What happened to peoples' work ethic? 2) Most excuses are pathetic. Sure...there's always the dying relative or serious health problems. I'm not a complete unsympathetic a-hole. But the jerks that use excuses left and right...well, they kind of ruin even the legitimate excuses for the rest of us. Think about ...
This morning I set up shop at a new location: the library. And you know, I got a lot done in the couple hours I was there. No puppy whining for me. No fridge with snacky-snacks calling my name. It was nice. It's the new Monday, Wednesday, Friday plan. My son has officially started preschool and it's about ...
Most days, I LOVE being a ghostwriter. I mean, I LOVE it!!!! I get to write about a lot of topics. My clients are happy because they get top-notch writing with their voice and notes and vision... Among my various marketing efforts, I do belong to a couple subscription freelance sites. It's a way to find ...
