Another Saturday night…
It is so frigid here in Ontario, that I have opted to stay indoors for the night. Yes..quite boring I would say but it is giving me a chance to get caught up on some writing work that I do. In addition to my freelance writing, I also create and edit my own writing website and newsletter, The Obsessed Writers Group Newsletter. Unfortunately I probably don’t update the website as much as I should but I do write and distribute the accompanying bi-monthly newsletter regularly. I really enjoy writing the newsletter because it keeps me connected with other writers and in tune with what is happening in the freelance writing world. I stay abreast of new markets, contests and freebies. Many times, I will be researching new markets and find one that I have something to submit to.
My subscriber base is small but loyal. I don’t know much about promoting my newsletter but I am learning and hope one day to join the ranks of www.fundsforwriters.com or www.writersweekly.com. I like to research free writing courses and interactive lessons and try them out first. I have often thought about taking some university writing courses but so far haven’t put that thought into action yet. Maybe this will be my year…
Right now I am subscribing to Beth Ann Erickson’s 15 day ecourse, 15 Techniques to Turbo Charge Your Writing Income. I am well versed on some of the information because I have been freelancewriting for many years, but I have picked up a tip or two.

Until next time….write it right!
