I think that this week has quite possibly been my best week of full time freelancing yet. And it's not over yet! I spent Monday writing from my parent's house so I could spend some time with the 'rents. Despite a ridiculously slow wireless connection (or maybe it was my computer), I managed to land two new feature assignments, complete an interview for an article, do some copywriting, and send out more queries before taking a late afternoon dip in the pool.
Tuesday I met with someone about a copywriting project and it sounds like it's a go *fingers crossed*. Yesterday I heard from someone who'd like me to blog for his company, and today we chatted on the phone to iron out the details. It's gorgeous weather outside, so once I finish a few more assignments and some LOIs, I plan to take full advantage of the sunshine!
And I'm quite proud to share this article on vegetable-infused cocktails. Some of you may remember the afternoon I spent scrambling for photos. Well, it was worth it. Enjoy the sunshine!

Awesome article, and congrats on all the good news!!
Summer is being extra slow in coming to Vancouver this year, so I can't say I'm soaking up too much sun yet. But that doesn't stop us crazy Canadians from camping! I'm taking the weekend off to get into the woods, so I'm scrambling to finish everything up today. I hope you take some time off yourself, and congrats on all the work!
@Beth: thanks - congrats on YOUR successes, too!
@Amanda: as a matter of fact, I'm spending the weekend in Cape Cod, which should be a nice break. :)
It's not you...whenever I go home to the 'rents' the wireless mysteriously slows down.
Congrats on all the activity!
Hi Susan,
That kind of productivity must feel great. Working and time with your parents, new business, you're killin' it. Awesome.
What's LOI?
Enjoy the Cape.
Susan,
Wow! You really are on a role! Good work and congratulations on all of your freelancing success! It's quite inspiring!
Have a blessed day!

@Christien: glad to hear I'm not the only one!
@Schraepfer: LOI means letter of introduction.
@Lisa: Thanks for well wishes. Hope you have a good day, too.
That is a great picture and an awesome clip, Susan. Congrats on the clip and the other good news! ;-)
And all that talk about enjoying the sunshine sounds wonderful! I would be envious, but I've been writing outside lately and loving it! Haven't been swimming, though. :'(
Keep up the great work!

Excellent article. I liked the line "the star ingredient is carrot juice". I do not drink alcohol, but still read the whole article through.
@Patricia: glad you enjoyed it! The research was certainly fun. :)
