Regular readers of this blog know that I work from home after many grueling years of corporate whoring. I simply cannot imagine squeezing back into another pair of too-tight heels and prancing around a corporate ant farm day after day. I have put that life behind me.
And now I have a new reason to be [...]

As readers well know, I celebrate No Pants Friday and Topless Wednesday. It’s the joy of working from home, and I know I’m not alone. Thousands of people with home offices work scantily clad or totally nekkid.
In fact, there’s a whole website for telecommuters called Working Naked.
And the woman who runs it, Lisa Kanarek, is [...]

I moved on Monday, and have had limited internet since then.That kinda sucks when you’re a freelance writer who works from home. My cable company is giving me the runaround on my new address, which is going to cost them hugely when they finally get around to selling me something. So for now I’m piggybacking [...]

Due to having to do physical work around the farm this past week, I am a little behind schedule. So I’m using the weekend to catch up on the articles I have to write. I was supposed to go to a NaNo writing “party” this morning in Lawrence, but I skipped it to catch up [...]

Really, working at home is not as groovy as I thought it would be. It’s so easy to get distracted! The dogs barking, the refrigerating offering yummy food, the sun looking so warm and… well SUNNY! How does anyone get anything done like this? I couldn’t imagine doing it if I had kids, too!
Perhaps it’s [...]

I left Cubicle Hell back in April – and not by choice, either. Sometimes these things just happen. In my case, I began searching for another corporate gig, and freelancing on the side just to earn a few dollars to tide me over. It was months before I realized that a) the economy sucked and [...]

Much like I was saying the other day, there are jobs to be had in the web writing industry if you simply go out and look for them. It really doesn’t matter that the rest of the world is falling apart because of the economy – web writing and working online will continue to carry [...]
