Big Powerful Laptops For Writing Professionals
I’ve written a handful of posts lately about my new netbook for writing that I have been using. That has led some readers to query about whether or not I had abandoned by my other computers in favor of the writer’s netbook. Far from it, my desktop computer remains my primary writing computer and a very big laptop serves frequently in the task of writing both within the home office and when I go somewhere instead of working from home on my business. The netbook has gotten the attention here on the freelance writing blog lately because it is the [...]
Free Stock Photos For Writers Understanding Licensing Agreements
As professional writers, we know all to well the frustration of copyright infringement and people stealing professional content to fill up junk websites filled with advertisements and affiliate links. When it comes time for freelance writers to find and use stock photography to go along with our writing efforts we play by the rules. If you don’t believe in the Golden Rule, then at least you should believe in playing for the good guys, and good guys don’t steal a person’s pictures, just like good guys don’t steal someone’s written words. The catch is that many writers, both professional freelance [...]
Netbook Better Than iPad For Writers
I had a chance to get some hands on time with an iPad the other day. Like everyone else, I thought it was really cool at first. I mean, imagine the possibilities. But, then as reality sat in, I could only actually imagine two possibilities (games and reading), neither of which justifies a $100 device, let alone a $500 one. Now, I am sure that for certain people, the iPad or a touch-pad tablet computer of some sort might eventually be very useful. However, for right now, all I see is a really expensive technology gizmo whose “big ideas” are [...]
How To Delete Section Group in Microsoft OneNote
As a freelance writer, I need a way to create, organize, and keep notes, sources, and even snippets of text or dialog, as well as article ideas. Around my home office, I have literally a hundred or more notebooks jammed with scribbles, ideas, magazine clippings, and newspaper articles. While opening up one of those notebooks and thumbing through it provides a treasure trove of writing ideas and materials, finding something specific inside of one of those notebooks isn’t as pretty. My new netbook computer for writing was one way to try and manage some of that. Unfortunately, having a hundred [...]
Things Every Writer Needs
When it comes to writing, there are numerous kinds of people who do it. There are professional freelance writers, there are both published novelists and unpublished novelists (more nicely referred to as aspiring novelists), journalists, copywriters, hobbyists, poets, experienced writers, novice writers, work from home Moms, work from home Dads, online writers, offline writers, screenwriters, academic writers, student writers, both willing and unwilling, and so on and so on and so on. We haven’t even talked about the different kinds of people that become writers professionally or otherwise. Yet, among all the different types of writers, there are some writing [...]
