So, What the Heck is Quill for Hire?

You’ve likely come here by accident and that’s ok!  In my line of work, I’ve learned that a lot of hunting for something online ends up leading you off in a totally different and wonderful direction.  So what is my line of work?  Well, I’m a freelance writer and editor and that’s what Quill for [...]

It’s rare, but if you do good work and find the right clients, it could be that you end up being asked, hedged, courted and corralled into working with one client (or a partnerhship).  This is problematic, not because you get to work for that client who, given that you’ve likely established a good relationship, [...]

When it rains here in Prince George, it rains.  We’re talking straight down, lines of water, puddles and funny little water jellys in my plants after.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t do it all that often and there are always killjoys trying to wreck it for me by bemoaning the lack of +28 weather.  +28 is only [...]

So as some of my longtime readers know, I have a 2 year old boy.  He was born March 14, 2009 and is really the reason why I got into freelancing in the first place.  No one would hire a pregnant woman because then she’d be on maternity leave three months after training!  So rather [...]

Well, it’s been a while, but I proved my point about CAPTCHA; I only had 19 comments!  Most of it spam, but eitehr CAPTCHA worked or I’ve been dead for so long that even the spammers rotted away. Here’s hoping. Well, I want to revive this site again (I know, you’ve HEARD that before).  I’d [...]

Bwa ha haha!  I got a plug-in that will hopefully filter out a lot of the junk for me (CAPTCHA) so that I can spend less time trashing comments and more time reading the real ones! [insert evil laugh here] I know that doing the CAPTCHA stuff is a bit irritating, but in all honesty, [...]

The avenging reviewer quill is back!!! Ok, not really, lol.  But today, we are going to do a review of Getacoder.com, another bidding site for freelancers.  Getacoder.com was the first bidding site I ever went through when I started out and while it may not have quite the tension surrounding it that vWorker seems to, [...]

Hello everyone! My two most popular blogs are the Scriptlance Review and the vWorker Review; however, the vWorker review seems to be netting the most controversy.  It’s been about eight or nine months since I wrote that review and of course, times have changed!  So, here’s some new stuff which has surfaced and as usual, [...]

I love reading my comments (the legit ones, not the spam) because sometimes I get ideas, lol!  So, for today based on a comment I got, I’ll talk about how you take time off as a freelancer. Work time as a freelancer is… fluid, for lack of a better word.  Instead of working say, 9-5, [...]
