You may have noticed the new shop on the sidebar. I’m experimenting a bit with making this site self-sufficient, without adding advertising. For right now, most of the shop’s offerings are t-shirts, but I’m also working on a few other projects that I think y’all will find useful.

Please let me know what you think.

I have an article in the current issue of WOW! Women on Writing about freelance invoicing. The article just went live and is located here.

I’ve made another t-shirt just for writers:

This is a bigger version of the actual design:

Click on the shirt to purchase it, and yes, it does come in a more manly version.

Occasionally, somebody’s writing will get me all riled up — and nothing’s worse than poorly written passive sentences. Don’t get me wrong, passive sentences can be great, but you have to do them write. To commemorate some particularly aggravating sentences, I made this shirt, available for purchase through CafePress, so that you can protest poorly written passive sentences with me. Down below is a close up of the actual image.

I’ll be chatting this evening with Erika-Marie Geiss of the WAHM Magazine about copyright. Please join us!

We’ll be at the following link at 8 p.m. EST: The Cyber Savvy Show.

EDIT: If you missed the show, but still want to hear it, it has been archived here. My interview is labeled “Copyright.”

Not exactly about writing, but if you need a quick brief on Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire or Cape Verde, check these out and let me know what you think.

Another of my resume-tweaking pieces on Hubpages. These pieces are examples of stealing ideas from the best place — myself. Considering I’ve written resumes professionally, I can write about resume topics quickly and easily. The only research I might need to do is confirming statistics.

The techniques listed here are at least a little applicable to freelancers.
