In this edition of Freelance Friday I want to highlight freelance writer Angela Swanlund. Angela has been around the Internet for many years and published on many websites. Her best work has been for places like The Encyclopedia of Arkansas, where she did extensive research into the gruesome killing spree of Ronald Gene Simmons. She’s also been published in Cuckleburr Times and Ozark Farms and Neighbor Newspaper.
Angela is a prolific writer with a style that is uniquely hers; sometimes extremely serious, sometimes light and funny. No matter what topic Angela …

Well my new section “Freelance Friday” is here and I’ve got nothing. But since it’s my blog I guess I can highlight myself and tell you a little about what’s in store for some upcoming features.
Mayhem & Madness: I’ve recently started a weekly event specifically for fiction writers called Monday Mayhem & Madness. This is a Monday event where writers can share what they are working on, what they’re putting their characters through (or their characters are putting them through), plots, schemes, frustrations–anything the fiction writer goes through and wants …

Recently, Jonathan Bailey of Plagiarism Today had the honor of being interviewed for a segment of KTVB.com news regarding political plagiarism scandals; specifically in reference to the Vaughn Ward case where “Ward was accused of plagiarizing President Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004.”
I have followed Jonathan for several years now. It is a great honor, to not only share this video segment with you, but to share in his joy of such a well deserved achievement. Congratulations Jonathan! You did an Awesome job!

Jonathan is The Webmaster and …

We’ve got some great weekly events scheduled here at the Stafford Scribe, trying to revamp a few things we’ve been involved in before. One of them is the Wednesday Writing Sprint; a time to devote each Wednesday to getting as much writing done as you can. Turn everything off and concentrate on writing only. Get all other tasks done before this day. If you need to contact clients or whatever–get it out of the way so you can spend Wednesday writing. You are allowed to check in here and share …

We will be adding some new features here at the Stafford Scribe. One of them being Freelance Friday where we will cover many topics in the world of freelance writing. At times we will even showcase some of the most talented freelance writers on the web.
Other features will be announced soon. Look for The Scribe’s Scope in an upcoming post.

Be sure to check out the Guest …

I recently signed up at Booksneeze.com. If you love reading, you may want to check this site out. They give away free books–the only catch is–you have to write a review on your blog.
As of right now, the available book is Lead Like Ike by Geoff Loftus. The book is about 10 business strategies using the knowledge that Ike used to back his decisions and execution of D-Day.
I haven’t decided if this book is for me yet. It sounds like a great read, and I am interested in the business material, but …

I’m as open to change as the next person; in fact, I know that life is transient and the only thing that is permanent is change itself. But if there’s one thing I can never get used to or bring myself to use is what we now term “text lingo” – the fashionable language that allows you to delete the vowels from words to shorten them and mix them with numbers that sound that parts of words to form totally unrecognizable words, all of which are fully accepted by anyone …

This blog is about the writer’s passion, writing what you love and loving what you write—or it’s supposed to be. Writing should also be fun.
My passion is not to write about writing. I do enjoy it, but there are so many great blogs out there about writing—fiction, technique, freelance, style, non-fiction—the topics are endless.
After a lot of soul searching (and putting it off for years) I’ve finally decided to go with my passion—health and well-being. I’ve spent the last few weeks getting the site ready for launch. There will be …
