Writer Business

Do you have the patient’s to be a writer? I’ve read a lot on the web about the coming and goings of would be writers. Not all of us have what it takes or the patience to do the training it takes. Here’s hoping I’m still around next year and I just might, because even the title of this next post didn’t scare me away 🙂 Thanks Rachelle Gardner for the reality check: Writers and Taxes

Backing-up

What’s your back-up plan? Is it a wish and a prayer? Do you email your most import files to yourself? Do you have a flash drive? Do you use a service? I’ve used all theses including drop boxes free service, it’s only 2 GB, but it’s free. I don’t know about you, but all of my writing stuff is not yet 2 GB. If you refer folks they’ll give you even more free space…here’s my referral code if you’d like to give it a try: http://db.tt/EiAxz9qS and if you do, don’t forget to share the love and send out your referral code. Help a friend day: do you know someone who’s plan is a wish and a prayer?

Thank you Susan Hanniford Crowley, I like this check list and I’m going to create my own: What A Writer Needs, Part 9 – Encouragement

Hope you all are having a fine weekend and maybe a little chocolate. Tomorrow I’m looking forward to the deviled eggs, yummy 🙂
