Article on writing professionally

I enjoyed this article. It is short and interesting. I especially liked the line in hint #10 that reads: "...a writer who does not enjoy, crave or require the *process* of writing would be much better off finding another business -- there are a lot of easier and more lucrative ways to drive yourself crazy."

Ten nitty-gritty hints on being a professional writer...in no particular order

Nice article Bridgette.

Did you see my thread looking for the freelance newsletter site you'd posted here once? (You posted it because it talked about how people could get claims from themestream. I never used Themestream, but the freelance newsletter looked good, but I lost the URL when my computer died)

Any chance you know the site and can post it?

Thanks

Rob

I saw the thread, but I was in Atlanta, far from my bookmarks. I'll try to look for it this evening or tomorrow morning (today is swamped) and post it. At the very least, I should have it in my mail box--they do a weekly mailing on Thursdays.

Sorry for the delay, ended up getting sick last week and staying away from my computer.

Here is the site:

http://www.writersweekly.com


They have great new job listings and market listings every week.
