					<description><![CDATA[A fellow writer mentioned client projects sometimes took longer than they hoped, so they wanted to learn to write faster in order to avoid this. While there are plenty of ways you can increase your writing speed, one tip I gave was to use "skeleton outlines." I worked through the beginning stages of of a skeleton outline while they watched to show how quick the]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You've probably heard this line before: "Fast. Cheap. Good. You can only have two." That's true in freelance writing as in most things. Clients have to prioritize. As a freelance writer, you don't want your clients prioritizing "cheap" work when they hire you. That means you'll need to provide those other two benefits: being good and being fast. In this case, "being good" means being]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It doesn't matter how experienced of a writer you are. You're bound to feel unmotivated every now and then. Sometimes you can plow through these periods. But at other times you'll need to find ways to get excited about your projects again. I'm like any other writer in this regard. I have good days and bad days. Sometimes a lack of motivation is a result]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Scrivener is a wonderful tool for writers. You can use it to write a novel or nonfiction book. You can use it to format your writing as an e-book. You can even use Scrivener for blogging. That said, Scrivener can also be a complicated tool to use. I doubt I even know half of what it can do. It's one of those tools that you]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; (Note: This post's original review was published in 2015, but this AutoCrit review contains some updates as of March 25, 2025.) Some authors love the revision process. Some, not so much. I fall in the latter group. But if there's one thing I dislike more than working on revisions, it's the idea of automating the process with software. Revisions aren't only about spelling]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We have an interesting question for authors this week from an anonymous reader who created a soundtrack for their upcoming book. This is a topic that's been on my mind recently as I was looking into BookTrack and also happened across an Amazon Prime music playlist featuring classical music for reading. While I've used soundtracks to help me write stories, listening to soundtracks or reading-specific playlists while I]]></description>

Cathy's thinking about making the move to Scrivener for freelance writing projects. But she'd heard from another writer that Scrivener projects don't convert to Word well, especially when tables are involved. And most clients expect projects delivered in Word format, so that's]]></description>

Whether you write for print publications or the web, professional ethics are an important part of building trust with readers and clients, which is part of what keeps them coming back for more. My ethical standards won't necessarily look like yours, and vice-versa. For example, I have ethical issues with writing about certain topics that]]></description>

Can you do so successfully? "The question that plagues me throughout my adult life is whether one can actually make it in anglophone writing biz, while not being a native.
