It has been really helpful, and we will have several
calls with replays this fall. I was able to get Linda
(my feng shui guru) to teach us Feng Shui for
Writers! Mark your calendars for October 17th. More
details to come later.
Please know my thoughts and
prayers are with all of you who have been affected by
the hurricane this week. I've had such a hard time
continuing with my regular life this week knowing there
are people suffering so much. In case you would
like to donate, be sure to check with your employer for
matching. My husband's employer is matching
donations 2:1, or here's a link to the Red Cross.
Have you ever sat down to put together a business plan for your freelance
writing business?
While you may not need a business plan to get your business going, the exercise
of putting it together will make you think about the important aspects of your
business.
What is your vision for your business? Who will you sell to? What are the growth
areas?
You can even use a template to walk you through the whole process. It's online here.
For authors.... Are you dreaming of seeing
your name on the cover of a book?
Book School instructor, Lynne Klippel, to the rescue.
You can get an hour of coaching with Lynne for only the cost of a phone call.
She is previewing Book School at a telephone class on September 7th at 8
p.m. Eastern. Sign up
today here.
Book School is so popular that Lynne is starting the next nine-session course on
Wednesday, September 14th at 8 pm Eastern. This is the last class of 2005, and
even includes one-on-one laser coaching sessions. Find out more at BookSchoolClass.com

"Julie, I am sending a quick note to thank you for your well measured and extra-ordinary website. You have
a tremendous amount of information at a very reasonable cost. I subscribed to your free site and, for the
first time in forty years of writing, found a planner that works for me.
I felt so guilty for receiving so much information free from your
site that I have now ordered and downloaded the e book. I have found that you have struck a cord among so
many writers regarding procrastination and simple organization. Keep up the good work.
