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 [...]
Self Employed
Digging Out of the Snow
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 [...]

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 [...]
My USA Today Interview about eHow
Wow, I was mentioned in a USA Today article about Richard Rosenblatt, the owner of Demand Media which owns eHow and Demand Studios among other online sites.
About a week or so ago I was interviewed by Jeff Graham of USA Today. I didn’t get too excited because I’ve been interviewed before by other reporters [...]

I was on Kidgas’ blog today and his final statement on a recent post made me chuckle “Just wish that passive income was less active.”

How much money you want [...]

Oh Those Plagiarists…
Grandma, I think you’ll get a kick out of this post. Just recently you made a comment about your frustration with folks who steal content.
Being new to Xomba, I decided to set a daily schedule of adding Xomblurbs/Xombytes. It seems that the successful Xombies (??) are those who post new content on a regular [...]
Writing – The Mind/Body Connection
Last night I had the pleasure of attending parents’ night at my daughter’s school. It’s my annual chance to follow my daughter’s class schedule to undergo a condensed version of her day. I started out in her homeroom and then walked around the school going to all nine of her classes.
At the end [...]
Playing the Weekly Writing Paycheck Game
Am I the only silly one or do you guys play the paycheck game? For those of you who are not familiar with the game, the object is to constantly increase one’s weekly paycheck from month to month.
Here are the rules:
The first month of the freelance writer’s paycheck game is all about setup [...]

Jack of all trades, master of…
As a freelance writer, I find that I am a jack of all trades and a master of very few. Part of becoming a successful writer is the ability to do research, digest information and spit it out in your own way with your own flair.
How well one does this can be a double-edged [...]
A Little Motherly Writing Advice
I would be remiss if I were to constantly encourage writers to build a steam of residual income without also encouraging writers to commit to making healthy choices. The reason for the double commitment (residual income & health) is because they compliment each other.
Finding a Balance
It is extremely easy to become so focused on [...]
I didn't know about the spam situation, Felicia, but it doesn't surprise me. Maybe eHow isn't doing anything about it ...
When I signed up in September of last year, I had the same thing happen. Ironically, when I got out ...
It's all yours, Felicia! ;-) 
Very informative. Thank you for the great post. 
Thank you, Felicia. I appreciate the kind words. I have submitted two articles to Break Studios just to give ...
