Spicing Up Your Freelance Career BY Margaret Gelbwasser Freelancing definitely has its perks—flexible hours, the ability to work from home, the opportunity to be creative. But, like with any job, you can burn out. The constant generation of ideas and the need to pitch can get difficult and even make those with the toughest skin weary. In these moments, you may want to call it quits.
However, before you do, try some of the ideas below. Taking your mind off the task at hand, while still working, can get you doing the pitching hustle again shortly. Networking Know-How BY Margaret Gelbwasser You may have the pitch letter down and sources ready, but there is something else that will get you even more jobs than the perfectly crafted query.
As the old saying goes, it’s who you know that counts. Realizing What's Important BY Margaret Gelbwasser Lately I have been in the mood to do very little. I still teach a few hours a day, create pitches, and work on articles, but all through this I have had this feeling that there is something else out there. Something more. Something I rather be doing. We all get these feelings from time to time—when work gets monotonous, when we have a vacation coming, when the days get warm. And I have been in all these camps. This time, however, the sensation stems from something else. Coping with the Revise BY Margaret Gelbwasser Up until a few years ago, a revised piece meant that I had read it over twice and double-checked grammar and context. Blame it on my high school English teachers. Then, I began working on a novel and realized - wonder of wonders - that so much more is needed to make a creative work flow.
Those of you who have long mastered the art of revision may be smirking, but better to learn late than never, right? And on the chance that there are writers still out there that are stuck on how to revise—or those who have revision down to a science but are looking for new ways to approach this subject—I thought I would share some pearls (or cubic zirconia) of wisdom. How to Beat—or at least pacify - writer’s block BY Margaret Gelbwasser Write Through It. If you are rolling your eyes, I don't blame you. The first time I heard this advice, I laughed.

Advertising industry Confessions of an Ad-Man VI: Buzz Words - Making Them Work For You Advertising industry is loaded with catch phrases, oblique artistic references and “inside” trade terminology. Just Fill The Prescription, Please Just Fill The Prescription, Please Last Friday, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich filed an emergency rule that clarifies pharmacies in Illinois that sell contraceptives must accept and fill prescriptions for contraceptives without delay. In taking this bold and decisive action against pharmacists who insist that their religious beliefs against contraception gives them the right to deny women their legal prescriptions from their doctors, he has done what I thought was not possible for an elected official in the current political environment; to stand up to the religious right and tell them "no." And I would like to offer Governor Blagojevich both my thanks and my admiration. It’s not often that a politician proves me wrong. I can only hope that governors of states across the country will begin doing the same thing.

The Seven Joys of Secularism The Seven Joys of Secularism It’s impossible to count how many times secularists are told by religious folk of various faiths that we will regret our "godless" or "sinful" life sooner or later. Although I can’t speak for everyone, I can honestly report that this secular writer hasn’t experienced any regrets for my decision to trade in the unhappiness of traditional Catholicism for the joys of secularism. Since no regrets have surfaced in more than the twenty years that have elapsed since making the secular choice, it’s rather doubtful that they will surface any time in the near or distant future.

Don't Allow Yourself to Get Burned Don't Allow Yourself to Get Burned I'm not much of a fisherman, but I do enjoy it whenever the opportunity comes my way. I have some friends who are fanatics and occasionally I will go out with one of them. They have nice boats and it makes for an enjoyable day.
I like fishing from a boat but the kind of fishing I enjoy the most is surf fishing. I don't do it very often, but occasionally I will take my rod and reel and fish from the beach.
Surf fishing, to me, offers a lot more excitement than fishing from a boat. Here you get to stay active all the time. Basically you wade knee or thigh deep out into the surf and cast using a rod and reel. Since the surf is so active, there are a couple of special considerations you have to take care of. It is necessary to use extra weight so the bait will stay put and you have be extra sensitive to your line because it can be hard to tell the difference between a fish strike and the surf pulling your tackle.
****area of confusion with surf fishing v. beach fishing. Aren't these methods actually called "fly fishing?"*** leave out the "to me," this whole article is your opinion. Leave out the "ands" interupts flow bigtime--unpack these ideas into two complete sentences.p.s. do this throughout the article.
Of course there are a few things you have to look out for. Sea currents can be kind of tricky in some places and you have to be careful not to get sucked out to sea. Sometimes there will be sea urchins under foot and if you are not careful you can step on one. This can be quite painful. There are also other kinds of dangerous sea creatures. On more than one occasion I have had to dodge stinging jelly fish or get away from small sharks (the sharks were probably too small to be any real danger, but I was not about to take any chances).
But there is another danger that is a really sly one - especially on an overcast day. Standing out in the open air for a couple of hours, without very good skin protection, can cause you to get a horrible sunburn. This really can sneak up on you, though. The nature of getting burned by the sun is such that you usually don't realize it immediately. When your skin starts turning red it is already too late. It is very important to prepare ahead of time to prevent it in the first place - doing things like putting on a good sunblock and wearing a hat and other protective clothing.
*****I feel that you have two sories in one here. At first you start "how to" for basic life skills. however, there is not enough intro to the seconds part to give the reader a feasible tie in with the first part without having to read the article a few times for understanding.
my suggestion is that you tie the two pieces together better by gving more of an explaination on the "Why" you connect fishing with life skills.If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Have a groovy day--Holly M. Islam is not Moslem Islam is not Moslem Often non-moslem people judge moslem people as a bad people, like terrorist, brutal, etc. The judgment influences their thinking about Islam itself that Islam is a bad religion. They see the moslem, but have they seen Islam? How to Take Yourself to Never Ending Growth How to Take Yourself to Never Ending Growth About six years ago I began to study tai chi. When I began, I had already been studying karate for several years, but my instructor encouraged me to add tai chi to enhance my martial arts abilities even further. It seemed interesting to me from the very beginning, but I was totally unprepared for what I have received. What I have learned is far beyond anything I ever expected.
Tai chi is a martial art that takes you through a series of very slow movements. You have probably seen people do it on TV commercials to advertise arthritis medicine. It seems rather strange and exotic for people who have never been around it. And because it is so slow and easy going, it seems like it would be very easy to do. But I assure you, it is actually a very powerful and practical form of exercise.
When I first started practicing these moves it was quite awkward. It is amazing the amount of strength and balance it takes. But as I practiced over the next several months and years, I began to notice a number of things begin to happen in my body. I began to develop greater leg strength. My balance improved. I gained better posture. I began to be able to control and conserve energy. I gained more powerful breath support and control. I also saw my ability to concentrate become stronger.
If you did a deep examination of tai-chi training, these things should really be expected because of the nature of the exercise. But there is one other thing that has happened in my experience that, even to this day, I continue to marvel about. No matter how far I seem to progress, there seems to be further to go. I make a major advance and think I am mastering the art and, behold, a whole new level unfolds before me. This has happened so many times that I have come to believe that there is no limit to the amount of progress I can make. As I have discussed this with my instructor, he has assured me that this is so.
Now, this is a significant realization, and is particularly helpful with an activity like tai-chi, where the movements are so slow. In our fast-paced society, slow is very difficult. In fact, many people who start tai-chi don't end up staying with the discipline very long because activity and progress seem so slow.
But, there is a much broader application that needs to be recognized that has very profound implications for every area of life. No matter where you are in your life, no matter what activity you engage in, no matter how much of an expert you are, you have only taken baby steps compared to where it is possible to go. But, don't be fooled by this statement. It is easy to accept this as an intuitive intellectual understanding. It only becomes profound when it is discovered in the course of experience.
Consider this. There are four areas of your life where your humanity is expressed. The four areas are the emotions, body, brain activity, and spirit. And the profound truth is this: in each of the four areas it is possible to literally explode beyond where you are now to ever higher and higher levels of development.
You can develop control over your emotions so that you are always positive and upbeat. You can overcome depression and negativity. You can put yourself in the appropriate emotional state for any situation you find yourself in.
You can develop control over your body. You can provide it with the nutrients, rest and exercise that will keep it healthy. You can sculpt your muscles so that you look good.
You can learn to control your brain function. You can gain greater and greater ability to absorb content, to think quickly, to shift your outlook, to concentrate, to control your focus and your perspective. These are all amazing abilities and anyone can become better at them.
Finally, you can develop control over your spirit. You can become more and more skilled at self-awareness, creativity, communication, decision making, analysis, contemplation, imagination, and self-discipline.
The sad thing, though, is very few people ever move on a life path that causes them to continually develop in all four areas all the time. The average person will work on one area then another, in fits and starts, but very few are focused on developing all four all the time.
So this brings us to a final, and profound, question which will determine what you do with the rest of your life. How much further do you plan to progress in your life beyond where you currently are? Your answer will determine the extent to which you are able to live life to the fullest. There is more to gain beyond where you currently are. In fact, the potential is unlimited. But, you will determine your reality. There is more and more and more and more.

Falling Up The Stairs Falling Up The Stairs There have been a lot of really good movies made over the last several years. There are a lot of bad ones, too. And while I try to simply ignore the bad efforts, I like to take lessons from those which have profound messages to share.
Among the more noticeable movies I have seen lately are the Matrix movies. And, while I don't like everything about the series, I have been totally fascinated by the philosophical questions it has posed.
At the beginning of the first Matrix movie, there is a scene where one of the female stars is running away from a computer generated Bad Guy. She desperately runs through a building, up the stairs, out onto the roof, and then begins jumping from building to building. All the while, Bad Guy is right on her heels. Then, with nowhere left to go, she spots a very small window in the building across the street. She suddenly makes a mad dash to the edge of the roof, and hurls herself through the air like Superman. Her body flies through the air, into the small window, which is barely large enough for her.
Five Steps to Expanding Your Universe Five Steps to Expanding Your Universe We have all grown up in an age where exploration into dramatic new territory has become routine. We have had people travel into space to live for short periods of time. We have sent people to explore the moon. We have built machines to take people under the ocean to live and work. And we have even built machines, as extensions of ourselves, to go to places where we could not go physically, and send back pictures and other data.
There is another arena that it is possible for us to explore - one that we can do personally. It requires a "risk-taker" mentality, and an adventurous spirit, and I want to give you instructions on how to get there. I am going to take you on a philosophical journey beyond yourself. This may seem a bit esoteric and mysterious, but humor me for a moment...
