Writers Work Wednesday
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008Alo!
Well, like I said last week, the only problem I can foresee with Writer’s Work Wednesday is that it isn’t drip-able. As you read this particular entry, I’m wining and dining with clients in NYC.
Ok maybe not wining. Is that a word?
Since I’m dripping this post on a Thursday night (directly after Lost, which I find to be both the most interesting and the most frustrating show ever made), I’ve decided to give you a taste of my 88 freelance writing job lists. Yes, 88. Now you know why I am rarely looking for jobs….going through half my list tends to fill me up for 2-3 weeks.
On to some Writer’s Work Wednesday leads:
ACES Editorial Jobs: Ok so they’re editorial, but the bonus on this particular list is that they come directly to your inbox. Always nice.
No Agencies Please: Has all freelance jobs, not just writing.
Freelance venue has a few here and there.
This site says “Writing Well Is The Best Revenge.” Ah, yes, yes it is. I’m going to have to agree, but add “having a decent bank balance” in the mix.
All Freelance Writing Jobs seems to be updated pretty often.
I tend to get at least one or two solid leads from WriterFind.
Last, but not least, let me say a few words about Elance and other bid sites. I know the rep they have out there, and honestly, sometimes I think I’m on a completley different planet than everyone else. I never bid under my set hourly rate, I’m always paid on time and fairly, and I usually get a new client out of the whole deal.
So if you finish up a project early, or find yourself with some billable hours to fill, I highly recommend poking around on elance.com. Be careful, bid your set rate, and fill up that bank account! :) 

Today’s tip is that grammar counts.
In order to make more money and work less hours, I’ll need to be more efficient. This past week has been an experiment as such for me, and so far so good! So, I’m going to share with you, dear reader!
I got the Thursday Thirteen idea from my fellow 451 blogger “JM” at 
Do you get writer’s burn out? I guess I get mini-burnout- it’s usually solved by a short weekend. But I’ve read some tales of big time writer’s burn out, and I never want to go there. Here’s a round up of some ideas I found when researching writer’s burn out.
I go back and forth every day about the pros and cons of
I used to be a work-at-home-mom, meaning my children were in house with me as I tried to write. After I took my freelancing business to the next level, I realized it was imperative that I got some quiet time. So I sent my 4 year old to preschool three times per week, and as my older child is in 2nd grade, I eagerly anticipated my quiet writing/business time.
My novel is …crazy. It really is. It has the first chapter. And of course, that first chapter is near perfection. Then it has this medium sized middle. The problem is, the middle is allll out of order. And then I just wrote the end!
