Quote of the Day: The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.–Walt Disney
Publisher’s Notes:
The first response to this week’s question comes from Faye:“Hi Karen,
When I get swamped, I look at 2 things: deadline, and my mood.
I usually start working on whatever has the closest deadline, unless my mood is such that I would really rather be working on something else and wouldn’t be able to concentrate on the closer deadline assignment. Once I get working, I’m in the swing. Then when I tire of one thing, I just set it aside and work on something else. By then I’m usually ready to focus on the one with the closer deadline.
My big thing is getting focused. Let’s say I’ve already done the interview and have to put my notes into an article and am having trouble getting focused or getting a flow. Creativity just can’t be forced!
Since I usually have scattered ideas, I’ll just work on scattered paragraphs and put them a the top of the page. I might work for 20 or 30 minutes and then go do something else. I’ll come back to that article several times during the day and create individual paragraphs, move them around, fine tune them. In the end, after several days of this, the article turns out great and has been a lot less painful to write than if I tried to force myself to focus when I felt lost.
Writing does not have to be linear!
Hope this helps. Happy writing!”
Thanks Faye!

Quote of the Day: Wisdom begins in wonder.
–Socrates
Publisher’s Notes:
Good morning all! Hope your Easter weekend turned out well.
This week’s question is from Karen:
“With multiple projects and deadlines, how do writers manage their time to keep the interviews, research and writing flowing—and moving from one project to another while waiting for interviewees to call you back, etc.? I’m going on my 3rd year as a freelancer, and this year, my business has really picked up to the point that I stress out over how to get everything done. It’s a good problem to have, and I’m just looking for tips from other, more experienced freelancers!”

That’s it for today. Have a great day!

Quote of the Day: We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin.–Andre Berthiaume

Publisher’s Notes:
Some final thoughts for the week from Rachelle, in response to Jeff’s response: “As Jeff pointed out– we live in an absurd, amusing, and ironic world.
Events and situations occurring in the world around me serve as fodder for ideas and on some days the soil is particularly fertile. The unlikely combination of a magazine headline and a Chinese menu once served as fodder for a poem! Everything is fair game. My problem is focusing on one subject when so many ideas are commanding my attention.
Only the strongest ideas survive to live another day.”
Thanks Rachelle.
And that does it for this week. Have a fine Good Friday, a wonderful Easter, and a terrific weekend all around!
