(www.inkthinkerblog.com) — The work day is almost over for those of us who keep regular hours (ha!). How did you spend your time today?
Right now, I’m formatting what seems like an endless document as a sub for another freelancer who is a great friend and huge source of support in my freelance career, which makes projects like this palatable if not enjoyable because I love helping out friends. When they pay me. You know how it is.

I also did some work on my new blog, Sass Pants, and send an e-mail to my tech guru, Kim, with support requests for this blog and meow/bark/blog.
AND! I took a lunch break. Go me.
Tell me about YOUR day!

(www.inkthinkerblog.com) — If you’re not on Twitter and don’t get why you should be or if you’re on Twitter and still don’t get it, these two articles are must-reads.
Like everyone else, I too couldn’t figure out the value of Twitter and it took several months before I had that “a-ha” moment and everything clicked. Read More >>>
The question, “How do I get more followers on Twitter?” is unspoken because admitting that you want more followers is to acknowledge that you don’t have many. Thus, you probably don’t need this advice, but you may “have a friend” who will find it useful. Read More >>
