I’m back…finally.
I’ve had enough of this indoor camping stuff and I’m glad to be back online.
Actually, it really wasn’t that bad. We have a couple of generators so we had lights and I was able to run the portable heaters (I bought the heaters a little while ago when I thought I had let [...]

Digging Out of the Snow
Snowed Under
Just a quick post to say that I’ve been in the dark ages for the past couple of days and I’m not sure when my power/internet access will return. I managed to find a spot on the floor in the corner of my local Barnes and Noble to gain access to the internet. Everyone is [...]

Computer Stuff (Backups, Reformatting and Upgrades)
After spewing forth words that I care not to repeat here on this family friendly blog, I bit the bullet, reformatted my computer and upgraded to Windows 7.
Why the Delay?
What stopped me from upgrading earlier was that I dreaded the backup/reformat/re-installation/reconfiguration process. I realize it’s not absolutely necessary to reformat the computer to upgrade [...]
EGADS, They’re Home Again…
Let me start this post by saying that I love my children! They are the driving force for just about everything I do. After all, this blog would be called “No Job for This Woman” rather than “No Job for Mom” if I weren’t a mom.
Home from School
That being said…they’re home from school [...]

Taking a Page from Tiger Woods’ Book
Tiger’s apology made me take a look at my freelance writing career.
Let me see if I can explain where I’m coming from.
Tiger reached the pinnacle of the golfing profession. I’m no golfer and learned more than I cared to learn as a result of being surrounded by men who love to golf and watch [...]
How Freelance Writing Classifieds Have Changed
I remember just a couple of short years ago when I began writing online, I would search the online job boards for writing assignments. I remember I landed my first “big gig” through one of these sites. If was for a trade magazine and it paid me $525 for a 1,200 word article.
Wow, I [...]
Where’s the Meat?
On two occasions I’ve used writing services to write articles for me. As part of my delegatory skills, I needed to outsource (I realize that I cannot do it all…no matter what they say on TV).
The first time I used online writing services, about 6 or 8 months ago, I found the articles [...]
A Wonderful Freelance Writing Resource
Well, it’s the day after Thanksgiving and I’m a bit stuffed. I tried not to eat too much, but not eating too much on Thanksgiving is like putting me on a computer and telling me not to check my Google AdSense earnings. It just can’t be done.
Anyway, not feeling like doing much writing [...]
A NJFM Shout Out
I have to give a shout out to Grandma. Grandma is one of the frequent readers and contributors to this blog. She’s especially knowledgeable about the goings on over at Textbroker.
In the midst of her freelance writing Grandma discovered a need that was not being met by the existing ‘articles for sale’ type [...]
Where’s the Money?
Let me preface this by saying, I know Suite 101 is a legitimate site and that the current late payment is nothing to worry about. Having said that…
“Give me my money.”
My son and hubby love to watch the show the Family Guy. There’s something about a kid hating his mom stops me from [...]
