Freelance Writing Blogs: Cream of the Crop Posts

By , About.com Guide   April 8, 2010

Follow me on:

Freelance writing blogs are just churning out excellent content lately--I simply must share some resources and info with you!

  • Jenn's Blog, All Freelance Writing, is one of my favorites. Rebecca Garland recently wrote about writing and mothering- the difficulties, the time management, and the precious little ones. This is not a run-of-the-mill "Being a WHAM is so hard" post. This is an honest look at what it takes to write, at home, as work, with your little ones around.
  • It's not often that a full time job posting turns my head. But this one at Hope Clark's blog definitely stuck with me. It's a writing position, for the Forest Service, with a decent top salary for my area, and it looks like it is location-independent.
  • I've become a junkie of the WM Freelance Writers Connection, because their content is relevant to me, their posts are often about "new" (not recycled) freelance writing subjects, and their mix of personalities keeps it fresh. I loved this recent article on how to protect your hourly rate when writing articles.
  • Of course this post caught my attention! Dana Prince wrote about how to stop working on the weekends. A hint mostly to myself: leave the Blackberry off!

I hope you enjoy as much as I did. I consider going through my iGoogle blog tabs one of the little pleasures in life!
