I’ve been on a “simplify my life” kick the last month or so. Cleared out a bunch of stuff I don’t need and I’m holding a garage sale at the end of the month. Got rid of local phone, cable TV and the internet. It’s all in the name of living frugal and I have to say I would recommend it highly to anyone. Living frugal also takes a lot of the pressure off of having to freak out about what freelance writing work I have or don’t have.

Thanks for popping by and leaving your kind comment – it made my day – and advice to follow my heart, write what resonates and follow my gut.

Re your post – it is true, the most beautiful things are the things money can’t buy eg a hot sunset, leaves swaying above you, the sound of a brook – appreciate your money tips for writers.

You too – happy blogging and writing. See you around Laurie ; )

Best wishes

Hi Jessie,

Thanks for including my blog posts about building a writer’s platform here! You’ve gathered an impressive list.

I totally hear ya about not knowing what to add to the teeming mass of information (and misinformation) on the internet. There really is “nothing new under the sun” — and sometimes I feel that way about writing magazine articles or contemplating fiction plots or characters.

So what’s a writer to do? Follow her heart and write about what resonates, regardless of whether it already exists. It doesn’t exist the way YOU will create it, and it doesn’t exist on your blog or in your writing portfolio….so I say tune in to your gut and what whatever you want to write about!

Happy writing and blogging
Laurie
