As a writer, I notice my ass often hurts.

Tonight, my eyelids are heavy, and the final chapter of my Jonathan Kellerman book is calling me so I’m going to keep this one short. I’ve got a couple of things to share with you that may help you in your freelancing journey.

1. I found this blog post at The Freelance Writer Online and felt that it had a lot of good information. I also thought you should read it. Hence, HENCE, my posting it here.

2. I’d like to thank the three blogs I had most success advertising on with Entrecard. Washwords, Musings of a Struggling Writer and i dream in words - thank you!! I want to thank top droppers too, but only those who left comments or gave feedback of some kind, so that might take me a couple of days.

I have been getting a lot of feedback on this blog, and I appreciate each and every bit of it. If I am slow to respond, it’s not that I don’t need you- it’s that the pressure of coming up with something witty to say back to you is stressing me out so much I just sit and stare at my computer, my sweaty hand frozen over the keyboard as I chew my lip and try to think of something….anything to fill the ominous white space in the reply comment/ email.

Okay, actually I’m just really busy…and the sweaty part was true, if only just a little :)

    Your title made me laugh, because as a writer I notice my ass hurts often as well! :D

    Holy crap jcorn, you just gave me something else to worry about! Luckiy, I have playful kittens that like to be chased, so I usually run around after them a couple of times a day…I’ll thank them for saving me from clots!

    Kelly! Yay! I’m glad I made you laugh, except that it may have helped your laugh lines deepen. Now I’m frowning. Oh god, frowny lines deepening…..30s hurt!

    I like that Layne, I do have a blogger’s butt, but I think it might be from my friend Little Debbie…..

    6string, you know the way to a girl’s heart!

    Replacing your regular chair with an exercise ball can help you avoid blogger butt. It counts for extra ‘eccentric writer’ points, too.

    I once sat on a coworker’s ball (whatever). It was easier than I thought it’d be, but I don’t know if I could do it long term. The eccentricity points do intrigue me though!! :)

    Hi Candy- Writers, college freshman and cube dwellers all know it. As well as the spread that accompanies it. Ugh. :(

    Joe- I tried the ball once- not pretty. I did, however, enjoy walking around my conservative work place all day saying, “I sat on so and so’s ball today and found it uncomfortable.” :))
