That Time of Year Again
Friday, January 2nd, 2009Northern Voice is around the corner. Had fun last year and I’ll go again. Time to get back on the blogging horse. Hard for me to go to a blog conference without actually cranking out a few posts.
I need the writing practice too. I need to get more productive with my freelance work during my after work hours. If I don’t exercise, my prose gets weaker and flabbier. I lose my mojo. And I struggle when faced with a blank page.
That is not a problem lately. I’ve become more proficient at starting and getting the ideas down in rough form then editing ruthlessly, then writing more, then editing again, and repeating until a deadline stops me.
I write at work. The job is less marketing now, and more sales and service related. I practice my copywriting for development and I write for cash when I find paid work. My job may be on the bubble again, so I need to ramp up searches for work as an employee or a freelancer and to get more done on the backburnered projects I’ve been nursing along or ignoring completely.
No matter how I look at it, more writing and more doing is in order again.
