Do you ever read back a draft and wonder what happened? Red-cheeked and brimming with enthusiasm, you had written your first draft. You knew it was good. Yay! To celebrate, you pour yourself a glass of wine, before going to bed. Editing is for tomorrow. But when you read your draft again … You feel disappointed. Your writing sounds bland. Grrrr.

I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking: what I'm looking at, what I see, what it means, what I want, and what I fear. -Joan Didion Writing, specifically creative writing, is a path to better understanding yourself and your lens on the world. Im sure this has been on my mind lately because of the weekly therapy sessions and the Philosophy classes Im taking (were going full tilt on self-improvement this year, baby!

As a writer, marketer and product creator, I find myself working with AI every day. I use it for research, ideation, outlining, proofreading and more. I can barely imagine getting my work done without AI. And yet Does working with AI make me more creative or less creative? Back when I started working as a trainee copywriter at an ad agency in 1979, I was just four years out of school.

In 2023, I raised my rates from an average of $.25/word to $.50/word. I was having panic attacks and sweating profusely when I had to tell clients what my new rate was. So, while you might think all you have to do is raise your rates and you’ll make $1,000 a post, the raising your rates part is the RESULT not the action. You have to do certain things to command a higher rate with your service to make money as a writer.

Do you ever get close to content burnout? A year ago, I became active on LinkedIn. And it has at times felt like feeding a cookie monster. Munch. Scrunch. Crackle. Social media platforms always seem hungry for more content. It feels relentless, eh? But it can also be fun and rewarding. When I asked earlier this year what you’d like me to write about, Michelle suggested I share my experience of posting on LinkedIn.

Ever since I started writing at Plagiarism Today and especially since I started this column, I’ve been hearing a lot from freelance writers who have been scammed or otherwise victimized by unscrupulous clients. Though the good news is that such bad clients are very rare in the big scheme of things, they are common enough that almost every freelancer, if they remain active long enough, will run into one or two over the course of their career.
