Videos and Tools for Writers


Here you can find videos and tidbits that I feel can be helpful and enjoyable for freelance writers and editors. I want to make it the sort of page that I crave when in the midst of a lexicon-induced funk--which we know, of course, happens quite often to us masochistic word sharks. You can also find resources for career advice on topics such as pitching, procrastination, portfolios, etc.

PROCRASTINATION

This video from ExpertVillage.com, made in February 2008, deals with freelancing as a career and the importance of vanquishing the procrastination monster. The host says things that will make any writer cringe with guilty acknowledgement.
