My new book + your biggest baddest burningest questions about freelancing

And while I’m on the subject of this new book I’m working on (for some reason, I’m too superstitious to even put the title here, but you can probably Google it somewhere), I have a question for you:

What do you want to know about freelancing as a creative professional more than anything else? In other words, what topic do you absolutely positively want to see covered in this book? How to make a webfolio? How to negotiate your rate like nobody’s business? How to stop procrastinating? Email me specifics and generalities alike.

Because I’m being all secretive-like, I’d rather you email me your suggestions than put them in the comments. But you’re of course welcome to tell me to get back to work in the comments. Thanks again.

My new book = less blog posts till early April

You may have caught me alluding to the new book I’m working on last week. It’s essentially a follow-up to The Anti 9-to-5 Guide, on what to do once you’ve fled the cube for freelance pastures. It covers things like how to hustle, haggle, and basically have enough money to eat. Seal Press will be publishing it at the end of the year, and I’m currently putting the finishing touches on it.

Since my deadline’s looming fast and I really need to focus (read: catch up) during the next few weeks, you’re going to see less posts from me until early April. More like two a week. In fact, if you see me posting, say, four times a week between now and April, you have my permission to type in all caps, “Michelle, WTF are you doing blogging again? You still have chapters to finish!”

Yeah, just like that. Only in ALL CAPS. Thanks.
