A Pinterest contest
I’m always up for a challenge (and a way to avoid housework!), so the other day I went looking for new contest ideas and I came across this blog post about running a Pin It to Win It contest on Pinterest. Now I have to be honest here: while I love Pinterest (perhaps a little […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Six Sentence Sunday
Welcome — and happy Sunday! This is my first participation in Six Sentence Sunday (the brilliant brain child of Sara Brookes), but I plan to be a regular contributor, so I hope to see you return again.

The Singing Tree
Recently, I’ve started walking to and from the coffee shop to do my writing every day. It’s about 10 minutes from home if I go at a good clip, 15 if I take my time.

Top 5 Reasons I Work From Home
As a writer, I normally don’t venture any further than my local coffee shop on any given day. Because I do corporate freelance work as well, however, I occasionally have to meet a client in person, usually at his/her place of business.
