10 years ago, from my second agency. Here’s why you want to enter awards shows like the Summit Awards: they’re a combo of beauty show and performance. It takes some effort to enter, but it’s great recognition for the clients. Something for their trophy case. Worth it!

#FreelanceFriends so we were going to talk about BlueSky today. For my $0.02… love the vibe, needs more people. Also from a tech perspective, it’s very laggy some days. And search? I dunno. I look for our hashtag, and nothing. Later, lots shows up. Expecting too much?

People who want to be writers sit and wait for inspiration. They’re “looking for ideas”. Writers just start writing. They get into the flow. They know the ideas will come. They always do.
