Many of you are enjoying time off this week rather than reading my blog. For those of you who are reading, I’d love to give you a medal or something for your devotion.

But that’s not really practical, so here’s the obligatory end of year round-up. These are based on a combination of factors (number of comments, popularity based on site stats, and my own personal preferences as Blogger-in-Chief) and are listed in no particular order.

1. Musings from the Past Year of Freelancing
2. Maximizing Your Freelance Income
3. The Paradox of Personal Essays
4. 15 Reasons Your Idea Got Rejected (and How to Fix It)
5. Writing Lessons from Charlotte’s Web
6. 5 Excuses That Undermine Writing Success
7. All About Email Week (actually 5 posts for the price of one!)
8. 10 Things to Tweet About
