If so, is that a quarterly or end of the year type of payment? I am trying to get a grip on the accounting part of freelance writing, but I can't seem to find any definitive information anywhere!Lindsey Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01876623029596444473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997789583912715881.post-9559896327674380072011-04-19T05:45:26.955-07:002011-04-19T05:45:26.955-07:00Hi WIAWN- Welcome!

Methinks I shall subscribe. I'm only a complete know-nothing when it comes to all this, and I'm (ever-so-tentatively) taking my first steps in the direction of freelancing...here's hoping I can learn a thing or two from following your blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997789583912715881.post-41503933792125773582011-03-28T05:59:50.871-07:002011-03-28T05:59:50.871-07:00Hi Leah - oh yes, I get that too.

I'm not really referring to the moms who ask me about writing, but the people who say things to me like: why don't you write an article for the New Yorker? Or - Why don't you write a book and then go on Oprah? Arrgh!<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10311851012396635023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997789583912715881.post-21202639478696595102011-03-27T21:30:02.525-07:002011-03-27T21:30:02.525-07:00Brava!

While I try to encourage anyone who is serious about pursuing their passion, I do sometimes get irritated by those who approach me with an attitude of, "It can't be that hard to write and sell an article."<br /><br />Found your blog through tweet (we share a passion for Paris, it would seem). Glad I found you.Leah Marie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432159961271108072noreply@blogger.com
