Writers Falling Behind
The life of a freelancer strongly resembles the cliche about feast or famine. Jobs seems to come in packs of three and similarly problems arrive in duplicates. When both coincide, a kind of madness ensues. I know I'm behind in harvesting the goodies from my email box. Please be patient Fraser from Adaptive Blue, Alexander at Freelance Writing Career, Liz at Answers.com's new Widget Factory (see one down in the right column, delivering a word of the day ... see the new right column!) I'll write about all of your services soon.Today I wanted to direct readers' attentions to a new but hidden feature at A Writer's Edge. In the Profile at the page top is a much reduced navigation menu for the site. One selection says "Subscribe". Clicking on the link takes you to a sign-up page at FeedBurner, a service that delivers an RSS feed modified to your particular feed reader. (You can also just sign up at your reader service for "http://feeds.feedburner.com/writers-edge/EElx".
Even more exciting, and I blush to reveal I was unaware of this, FeedBlitz also makes this blog available by email. I discovered this when I scoured a sample of the FeedBurner version of a post and found a link that says "Subscribe by email", which took me to this page where you can also sign up to receive posts by Skype, AOL and Twitter! I think I am supposed to put a sign-up on the main page ... something else I'm behind in doing.

"Writers falling behind..." Boy, you got that right! The older we get, the more it seems we have to cut things out before we try to prioritize it all. I still find it a real challenge to get my writing done as well as the blogging, web marketing, etc.--and still have a life, that is! 8-)
Yeah, I tend to delete more than prioritize these days, too, but what I really had in mind was my behind going South, as the illustration shows!
