So how's it going?
"Commit yourself to taking enough risks that you will fail some of the time." -Scott Berkun
I've sent out tons of queries and letters of introduction since going freelance three months ago. Some queries get a flat-out no, and most disappear into the ether. But surprisingly many come back with a yes.
So how's the business doing? Pretty well! I've had 6 pieces published so far, with more in the works, not to mention 75+ posts on the Sustainable Food Blog.
Best productivity tool: a book called The Now Habit. I tried GTD, but it made me dread my work. The Now Habit helps me to look forward to it - thanks to Dave Harding for the recommendation.
