My editing jobs are coming back. I hope you can say something positive about the writing work that you do such as, \u201cMy books are selling,\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve been getting paid for some articles,\u201d \u201cI found a publisher,\u201d etc. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m interested in what it took (or is taking) to make things start happening for you again. <\/p>\n
\u2022\tHave you found a new way to promote yourself or your work?
\n\u2022\tAre you spending more time and energy in promotion mode?
\n\u2022\tHave you opened your mind to some new possibilities\/opportunities within the realm of your work?
\n\u2022\tAre you changing some of your habits, attitudes and\/or perspectives?<\/p>\n
If things still aren\u2019t going so well for you, maybe it\u2019s because:<\/p>\n
\u2022\tYou\u2019re still in panic mode.
\n\u2022\tYou\u2019re in denial about what\u2019s going on in your business.
\n\u2022\tInattentiveness to your work.
\n\u2022\tLack of interest in your work.
\n\u2022\tYou\u2019ve given up.<\/p>\n
If you are serious about selling copies of your book, building a freelance writing business or getting your book published, this is no time to stop the forward motion. In fact, this might be a good time to rev up your activities toward your goals. I know plenty of people who are doing just that. It\u2019s taking more effort and greater time commitments, which means more attention to the important details and additional sacrifices. <\/p>\n
It seems to me that this period of recession is an opportunity to reexamine what is truly important to us and to adopt innovative means toward redesigning our personal, career and creative lives. <\/p>\n
Nothing will ever be the same, you know. We can\u2019t expect to one day wake up and find ourselves exactly where we were before the economy went south. And many of us don\u2019t want to go \u201cthere\u201d anyway. Stop waiting for things to change. Start steps toward making things change in your favor. If you don\u2019t know what those steps might be, when it comes to your publishing dreams or goals, order your copy of The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book <\/em><\/strong>today. http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/rightway.html<\/a>. <\/p>\n If you want to establish or rev up a freelance writing business, read my book, A Writer\u2019s Guide to Magazine Articles<\/em><\/strong> or The Successful Writer\u2019s Handbook<\/em><\/strong>. http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com<\/a> (The handbook is also available as a free gift from SPAWN when you join ($45\/year) http:\/\/www.spawn.org<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My editing jobs are coming back.
