It probably isn’t written down anywhere, but it seems like how-to-market articles are supposed to be, if not dull, certainly straight forward. The same thing can probably be said about reviews of websites. After all, the goal is serious… to help you, the webmaster or web writer, create traffic. Serious business requires serious writing, right?
Well, maybe. But what if… what if you took a tack like Men with Pens does in their Drive-by-Shooting Sunday: Marketing Artfully? Go ahead, read a couple of paragraphs; I’ll wait.

Writer, editor and web mistress Julia Temlyn has created a lovely site aimed at reminding writers why they started writing in the first place. It’s called Writers Remember. She recognizes we often sell at least part of our souls as we write what others want us to write – mostly in order to get paid. But, she suggests at her site, we all need to get back to our passion.
The site has the usual resources, links and what-have-you, but it also has essays an articles by writers writing what they want to write.
It’s a lovely place to hang out a …read more

Probably two years ago, I urged a group I belong to to take on their World Conference in 2006. As fate would have it, about 18 months ago I was made chair of the committee. Since then, until July, we’ve been meeting monthly and doing our business in a fairly leisurely fashion. Starting last month, our meetings increased to weekly and now the Conference is nine days away.

The bald man of Bald Man Blogging suggested his 5 Habits of Highly Effective Bloggers might have some tips for freelance writers, and he’s right. He’s got 6 blogs at the moment, so some of his tips, particularly the first, “Develop a Routine,” are blogging specific – but his suggestions work for multiple writing projects of any type.
I think my favorite tip is his 5th, Do What You Can, Get Help with the Rest. Give the whole thing a read – I know I found it valuable.
