Trying Hard to Stay Up to Speed

Hectic times here in freelancing land.

A local paper has kept me busy with an assignment each week for the past five weeks. Plus there are other articles I've been working on that haven't yet been released.

Lately my head is spinning with the stories of other people, so much so that they are crowding out my own tales I have to tell. I haven't had much time or space to focus on my own writing, which tends to leave me irritable and anxious.

Someday, I keep on thinking, someday I will start saying "no" to all these assignments and just focus on my own stuff. I've been saying this, though, for several years.

It's the familiar push and pull of the freelancing life ... taking every story when it comes up for fear that the pipeline will slow and then stop and then I'll be out of luck. After all, one must have some money coming in.

At any rate, for those who are interested, here are some links to my recent stuff:
