It’s the first week of 2010, and I’m back at my desk with energy to burn. Thanks to all the wonderful clients who helped make my 2009 so busy and fulfilling. I can’t wait to see what 2010 has in store.
For now I’m focusing on several projects for Speakeasy. I’m also writing content for a new website for an east coast IT firm, and I’m looking forward to continuing work on the solar energy company business plan I mentioned earlier.
In more personal news, sleep training efforts with my toddler are going extremely well. I don’t want to jinx it, but it really looks like the whole family will soon be sleeping through the night on a regular basis – for the first time in 16 months! This is great news for my sanity and my career, but also for my creative aspirations. I’ve started finding more time and energy to chip away at my 6-year-old “maybe-novel” project, with help from an extraordinary piece of software. Scrivener is designed specifically for managing large writing projects, and it has completely changed my life. All the random scribblings that have been scattered through journals and word files and mobile app notes are slowly coalescing into something that may one day make sense as a manuscript.
That’s it for now. As always, if you’re looking for a writer, especially if you’re in Seattle, drop me a line.
