Freelance Writing Week @ Bleeding Espresso!

I was thrilled this morning to discover that the fabulous Michelle Fabio over at Bleeding Espresso has declared this Freelance Writing Week on her blog. All week she will be writing about her experiences with freelance writing, addressing questions from readers, and sharing tips for getting started. Michelle’s generosity with sharing information to help those of us getting started is truly remarkable. Grazie Michelle! I know I will be glued to Bleeding Espresso all week!

Head over there today to read Michelle’s great tips for deciding whether a career in freelance writing is right for you. Do you have good writing and grammar skills? Are you self-motivated, determined, reliable and organized? Michelle has great tips for how to improve in each of these areas. Stop by and leave a comment if you have questions for Michelle.

Perhaps I need to ask her advice for dealing with disruptive cats!

    I’m afraid disruptive animals come with the territory of freelance writing…my best advice is to use it to your advantage and use time with them as your rewards for completing small tasks 🙂

    Thanks so much for plugging Freelance Writing Week!

    Ciao Michelle! You are very welcome! I know you know about sweet animals being quite distracting, what with that charming new arrival at your house. 🙂 When he does behave, there is nothing quite like writing with a purring, happy cat on my lap. That helps me work on your tip number 3 … determination! Thanks for everything you do!

What 31 days of January morning walks looks like. What 31 days of January morning walks looks like. It’s been gorgeous and windy and stormy and wild - and everything in between. Should I pick a different spot to take a photo a day next month?
Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶
Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a hol Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a holiday for their national poet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Here’s one of my favorite poems he wrote.

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!

This morning—after four days of rainy and cloudy mornings—I watched sunrise over the Cilento coastline across the Gulf of Salerno. Late morning it started raining again and it hasn’t stopped. This little pocket of beauty was exhilarating!
