It was the flu\u2014or at least that\u2019s what seemed to kick me in the stomach and knock me down yesterday. I hope at least some of you missed my daily blog post. I\u2019m much better today, however, thanks to nurse Lily kitty. She was my hot water bottle all day long. When she wasn\u2019t smashed up against me keeping me warm, she was sitting a few feet away staring (probably wondering why I wasn\u2019t up feeding her and playing with her). <\/p>\n
When I arrived back at my computer this morning, amidst the 150 emails (around 100 of them spam), I had a few inquiries about my editorial services. I\u2019ve already presented an evaluation and estimate this morning. And someone who contacted me for a free evaluation some months ago has returned to have her manuscript edited. PLUS I\u2019m doing the final edit for another client. I appreciate the work.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve probably \u201cread\u201d me say that if we each pay someone for a service or product, the trickledown effect might help the economy. Just last week, I noticed that there were two houses in the neighborhood getting new roofs; one neighbor had hired a housecleaning service, another one had a gardening service for her yard, one had to have a plumber and I had a new stove delivered. I think is a nice little indication that the economy is struggling upward.<\/p>\n
What about you? Do you see an increase in freelance writing jobs coming your way? Are you selling more books? And I have to ask this: Are you continuing to promote your work, your services and yourself with enthusiasm\u2014with a positive mindset? <\/p>\n
