WOO HOO! Devin Bramhall, marketing manager at Alignable, sent me an email this morning saying she was looking through discussions and loved my comment on the email marketing tips post. She added, “I would love to feature your tips on our blog and/or in a separate discussion, since they’re so helpful and I think everyone[…]
It feels like yesterday’s decision to “retire” (or, more appropriately, “apply for Social Security and one pension earlier than age 66”) has given me a new lease on life. I’m going to re-brand my services. Instead of touting what I offer as “premier copy writing services at more affordable prices”, I’m going to have a[…]
Life as a Creative is so stinkin’ unpredictable that I made a decision that I’ve been putting off for about as long as I can. I don’t see any miracles peeking around the corner, so I bit the bullet and officially retired. Not that I’m quitting. I’m just calling in my chips. I[…]
In a little while Sue and I will be heading to the Orting trail for another bike ride. I’ve ridden 105 miles so far this spring; Sue has ridden 95. I’ve already lost the three pounds I gained over the winter so I’m one happy camper and hoping to lose another ten pounds[…]
I think I just dodged a bullet, but it’s no fun losing potential long-term work that I know would have helped the client succeed wildly. A couple of blogs ago I mentioned a fellow who wants someone to write blogs for him. We corresponded for about two weeks, off and on, and he[…]

You won’t have to get involved in any other way than to send me[…]
…to start cooking nutritious meals at home. After editing a book about the amount of shady sugar that is shoveled into the now-standard American diet, I have come to realize that I’m essentially addicting (and poisoning) myself when I go shopping because of the choices I make. I get boxed, bagged and bottled goods instead[…]
I have a baby monitor in the goat shed. I put it out the first time just before my two does had triplets (yes, they both had triplets) so I could hear what was going on out there and come a’runnin’ at the first audible indication of labor pains. It worked great: I was able[…]
I edited a chapter about sugar addiction for a doctor to see if he liked what I can do. He did, so he hired me to edit the other nine chapters, too. WOO HOO! Whoever he had write the draft that I received from him was too wordy and too impressed with him/herself as[…]
Today I got three more people in my corner. This morning’s 723 Building Business speaker, Kelly (Brandman University) says she is going to see if the military contact she knows would like to hear from me with regard to teaching some of my copy writing classes (30 Second Introductions/Commercials, Your Professional Bio, Your Core[…]
