Freelance Writing Jobs for September 30, 2009

It’s the last day of the month so I imagine many of you are fulfilling all your end of the month quotas and obligations. After being away for much of the last week I thought I might stay up late working last night. I changed my mind and decided to unplug early – before dinner, even. No regrets. I may be up until 3:00 a.m. tonight but the family time and relaxation was so worth it. I even slept through my alarm this morning,  but I don’t recommend that.

When was the last time you blew off work and unplugged? I never recommend being a flake, but don’t forget to take time for you.

Freelance Writing Jobs for September 11, 2009

9/11 was one of the deciding factors in my leaving my full time job to become a freelance writer. Soon after witnessing the attacks on the World Trade Center, my husband and I learned we were pregnant. We didn’t think we wanted to raise our child in New York City. After 9/11 and 30 years of living there, I knew I had enough of the city and all the negativity that surrounds it. While I probably would have made the decision to leave my job eventually, 9/11 cinched things for us. Some people see today as anniversary. I see it as a disturbing but important memory, one that led to so many levels of change for so many people.

Here’s to positive change for all of us.

Freelance Writing Jobs for September 10, 2009

Isn’t it funny how the seasons affect the mood? I find myself at my best during spring and summer but once autumn kicks in I’m not as buoyant. I don’t get the winter blues or anything like that, but I do mourn the lack of warmth and long, sunny days. I woke up this morning and it was dark out. The wind was blowing and there’s inclement weather in the forecast. I’d much rather be typing this while sitting in my sunny office with the windows open. Instead, the drapes are drawn and the wind is my soundtrack. It makes such a difference, doesn’t it?

I’m happy to report this is something they’re working on and they hope to have a plan in place in another month or two.

Freelance Writing Jobs for August 21, 2009

Today I’m thinking about negotiations. Negotiating always leaves me so unsure of myself. Will they reject my offer? Will they think I’m crazy? Have I lost them for good? 99% of the time, when I tweak a proposal and send it back to the client, it works out in my favor. That doesn’t make me any less insecure about it though.

How are you with negotiating? Do you generally accept a client’s first offer or do you do a little back and forth before signing on the dotted line?

If you have time, I hope you’ll take a look around the network and check out some of the other blogs, we’re talking about resumes, misspelled signage and how and why we choose the ads we have here at FWJ. Enjoy your weekend!

Freelance Writing Jobs for August 7, 2009

Actually I was wrong yesterday. Anyone CAN be a writer.  Thanks to content sites accepting anyone without even seeing writing samples, anyone can, indeed, become a writer. However, not everyone can be a good writer and I think that’s the difference. Now before I receive another flood of hate mail, let me explain a little:

I’m not trying to discourage new writers at all. While I hope I’m giving them a good place to start, I also hope I’m being realistic. I enjoy providing this haven for writers of all levels to discuss and share. However, as a lot of the writing we see on the web indicates, not everyone can write well. One can start a blog and write, but that doesn’t mean one can write well. Also, unless one is willing to put in several hours a day, one’s blog won’t be very successful because there’s more to blogging than writing a rant and hitting send. It’s one thing to do this for a hobby but it’s a whole other ballgame to do it for a living.

While it may make people angry (and thanks to all who wrote to me calling me a no talent hack or telling me to get over myself, by the way. Hugs and kisses backatcha) the truth is, if you never had an interest in writing, never wrote anything in your life, have no idea how to string together a sentence or build traffic to a blog, you can’ t just get out of bed and say, “I think I want to work at home. What are my options? Hmm.. envelope stuffer? No, that’s too much work. Sell on ebay? I have nothing to sell. Virtual assistant? I hate making phone calls. Wait a minute…this blogging or writing thing looks easy enough. I think I’ll do that!”

I apologize if I insulted anyone. However, I won’t sugarcoat a thing. Some people aren’t cut out for writing. Some people can’t write well. I won’t say anyone can be a good or even successful writer because it simply isn’t true. Anyone can write, but not everyone can write well. Anyone can Google and rewrite someone else’s Googled and rewritten article, but not everyone can write well. Anyone can apply for a writing job, try for the Great American Novel or query magazines. Not everyone will be accepted.

Not everyone can write well.

Freelance Writing Jobs for July 8, 2009

I’m happy to report the feeds have been fixed. Thanks to all who brought it to my attention. I had no idea! You should be able to subscribe via email or your favorite feed reader now with no problem.  Some folks who responded to our survey requested a way to combine all our feeds into one for more convenient feed reading. I’ll see what I can do…

Some survey comments are also stating they would like to see more “non-Craigslist” writing ads. I would love to accommodate. However, Craigslist does list the most freelance writing jobs each day – and I try to find the non-scammy, spammy ones, and I also comb several other job boards and sites for leads as well. They just don’t have good stuff every day. Craigslist does get a bum rap for being a haven for spammers and that’s true. It’s also still one of the best places to find lucrative writing opportunities and I wouldn’t be so quick to write off jobs just because they come from Craigslist. Thanks to those of you who already took our survey. It really lets us know how you use FWJ and what we can do to improve. If you haven’t already told us how you feel, you can find the survey here. Thanks so much for your help!

I posted some guidelines today. Note that these are not jobs. These are markets to query. Please follow all the directions in the writers guidelines as some editors are real sticklers. A nice list today. Also, for those of you who are asking, FitzDrake Research is Examiner.com. Since they’re being flagged for spamming Craigslist, they’re not using “Examiner” in the job description. Ok. I’m done talking.
