So right now my home “office” is in the back of the living room. I had originally put my computer hutch here so I could keep an eye on my son while he’s watching TV or playing video games. But now that he’s getting a little older and spends more time outside with his friends [...]
As I mentioned in my last post, I was feeling quite depressed about having my least profitable month in three years as a freelance writer. Well, I’ve decided to just look ahead, so I’ve quickly regrouped and started working towards this month’s income goal. I was able to hit my daily target for today without [...]
In cleaning out my desk today, I found that I’m running dangerously low on some office supplies that I use all the time: white out, printer paper, paper clips, and ballpoint pens.

I’m happy to report that things haven’t been too terribly taxing on the work front in recent months. I’ve just been putting in the minimum number of office hours to fulfill my obligations, and haven’t [...]
I’ve been working from home for three years now, and can’t imagine ever going back to a full-time office job. Yes, I still have a consulting position that requires me to be in an office two or three times per week, but that’s a far cry from being the paper pusher I once was. I [...]
