And I'm glad my worksheets are helping y'all with your businesses. Even if you're not writing about sex parties. ;) Oh, and Leslie? I feel as if the small, out-of-the-way places are where the more underground sex parties run rampant. You just need to dig deeper and make the right connections! Teehee.

I had noticed you were getting into bikram at the same time I was getting into vinyasa. Because yes, we are twins. And yoga is a <i>much</i> better option than Xanax. Ha!

Thanks for outlining your strategy. I love your newsletters. You add value in a way that few others do. I enjoyed your "cookie" and used it to brainstorm a bunch of angles for blog posts for a project I am working on for a mining website. Yes, very very different from your examples about sex parties (Hmmm... are there sex parties in mining towns? I don't really want to know the answer.) Keep up the good work, and have a great weekend! Leslie You've also given me some ideas for my own "cookie" and guest blogging campaign. Congrats Steph! Thanks for outlining your strategy. I love your newsletters.

Mostly because we're clearly twins. I got into yoga recently too and it's completely changed my perspective on things. I'm calmer, stronger, more focused. I love everything about it. And, like you, have been considering doing teacher training! Wheeee! And, if you do the wrtier's/yoga retreat when I'm back in the States then I'm totally there.

I suggest saving all of your pennies in a giant jar so that, when it's finally filled, it weighs more than a bowling ball. Or a set of free weights. At least that's what I do. ;) Hope to see you back here! And thanks for visiting Freelancedom, Karen!

That we should keep on stretching and growing. Aside from expanding our skills set, it keeps things interesting! Every time I add something new to my writerly toolbox, it gives my business -- and the passion I have for it -- more oomph. I love that last thing you said, Carol.

My favorite professor (Sue Shapiro) says that she <i>always</i> writes the full manuscript before shopping around the proposal. This can be especially helpful if you're a first-time author (and it's crucial if you write fiction). And I think it's great that you already have your proposal ready to go. Good for you, Celena.

I feel self-doubt all the time. I ask myself: <i>Am I writing anything that actually matters? Am I nothing but a low-rate listicle creator? Am I good enough to be something more?</i> Then something I've written connects with a reader, or an editor, or an agent, and I'm reminded of why I want to do this. If writing public policy articles is something you want to do, I feel there's no better way to learn than to dive on in. You can do it, Caroline! I feel self-doubt all the time.
