Freelance Writing Jobs for February 4, 2010

What is everyone working on? To be honest, I’m not writing too many client freelance writing jobs lately. This blog and a few personal projects take up the bulk of my time, but I did stumble on some of my old clips from ten years ago which I’m going to rework with a more current slant and pitch to markets. Mostly though, I’m just doing my thing here.

It’s a holiday here in the States, a day we honor civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. For many in our country, it’s a day to give back and perform community service. For others, it’s a day of reflection. Whether you’re working,relaxing, giving it back or paying it forward, I hope today is everything you wish for it to be.

Freelance Writing Jobs for January 6, 2010

I heard on the news today New Jersey is experiecing our coldest snap since 1985. Now, I don’t know if this is true or not, but I can tell you it’s very cold. It had me thinking of when I used to have to walk five block to the subway and commute into Manhattan from Queens. It was no fun going to work on those cold days, let me tell you. I’m happy to be home and working where it’s warm and dry. There are aspects I miss from my cube dwelling days, the commute isn’t one of them. I will say though, the hour train ride in each direction allowed me some good reading time. Is there anything you miss about working outside of the home? What don’t you miss?

FWJ will be doing some maintenance today and may experience some down time.

Freelance Writing Job Leads…

Please note: Just because an ad on Craigslist says “no” under compensation, doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the case. The “No” is a default. Many times paying jobs are listed as non-paying in error. Many times, it’s worth the effort to give the potential client the benefit of the doubt. However, if it’s an obvious no payer, we certainly won’t post it here.

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.
