27 Writing Tips You Can’t Live Without

In reading a piece in the business section of today’s Sunday New York Times by Caitlin Kelly, a well-known New York freelance writer and journalist whose writing I admire, I came across her website and found that she’s put together a set of 27 essays on writing, the business of being a journalist and a freelancer, and just working and staying sane within the world of journalism.

My advice: read every single one of these essays, whether you’re an aspiring journalist or writer, or someone in mid-career. In these economic times we’re living through, pay special attention to “When The Going Gets Tough,” “Running a Home-Based Business” and “Getting Fired,” which many of us out there are going through these days, whether we call it getting fired, laid off or downsized.

You can read the whole list when you visit Caitlin Kelly’s website.
