Remember when working for yourself was a choice that savvy entrepreneurs made? These days, it’s more of a choice that’s been forced upon people.
I’m going on vacation with my wife and two sons next week. That’s great, except we’re going to Branson, Mo. It also means that this week has been frantic.
Some of the stories that I write for trade magazine publishers and online content sites are dull as can be. I’m writing today, for instance, about the latest HVAC technology. Yesterday, I wrote about organic lawn care. I also had to come up with a list of 20 reasons why being a blogger is a [...]

Everyone at the publishing company at which I works is required to attend a mandatory insurance benefits meeting today. I’m a pessimist, I suppose. Maybe that’s why I have the unsettling feeling that we workers are going to be paying more for our insurance.
I remember when I had hope for the Internet. As a freelance writer, I pictured a whole new world of writing opportunities. |
