Say it with llamas. Someone with way too much time on their hands and a dubious sense of humor has created Llama Font. Here is ArcticLlama Freelance Writing in llama font: (Check out the “t” and “f” llamas!) Here are the words professional freelance writer that I like so much because of the “p” llama. [...]
Typically, this is a freelance writing blog. However, since it is the weekend I’ve decided to write about some really good fantasy novels that I have just finished reading. James Enge has published two fantasy novels. One is Blood of Ambrose, and the other is The Wolf Age. The latter is a follow up to [...]
A professional freelance writer needs many different ways to find new clients. The idea, of course, is to keep a healthy network of connections that can send prospective clients your way and keep that writing project pipeline full. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done, which is why there are shelves of books about networking [...]
Unfortunately, this seems like an odd juncture for cell phones and mobile phone companies. Now that I can get current cell phone releases on the best cell phone plan for business owners, it would seem that all I need do is pick one that would be the best cell phone for a freelance writer. Too [...]
Further complicating things in my search for the best cell phone for freelance writers is the fact that a few years ago I managed to snag a really great deal on a mobile phone plan. Sprint had an offer called SERO, which I think stands for Sprint Employee Referral Offer, or something similar. The original [...]

It’s cool, we won’t tell anyone. Enjoy your coffee! Thanks guys. Unlimited caffeine and [...]

I don’t mean to say that I know everything there is to know about writing, or that there is nothing that anyone else [...]
Finding useful webhosting information is next to impossible. Most of the big, brand-name webhost companies out there offer very sizable pay to affiliates who refer people to their service. That means that almost every single comment on the entire Internet about which web hosting services are good and which web hosts are bad is tainted [...]
I got asked an interesting question. After answering the common "What do you do," question by saying that I’m a freelance writer, I got an unusual follow up question. "So, is that like a regular writer, writer, or is that like a technical writer." There are two unusual bits to that question. The first is [...]
Somewhere along the line I started reading the website Coding Horror, which is kind of ironic considering that I am a basic level programmer at best. Sure, I understand the structure of a For-Next Loop and I can work through an If-Then-Else statement, but I’m typically much better at sorting through someone else’s code than [...]
