Tips and Inspiration from Denise Barker, an All-Indie Author, Blogger and Freelance Developmental Editor/Copy EditorI am LIVING THE DREAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08196539892257862445noreply@blogger.comBlogger519125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986699207738450999.post-55342421707197226082020-05-25T09:27:00.000-07:002020-05-25T12:59:40.702-07:00Memorial Day, May 25, 2020What a sadder-than-most Memorial Day here in 2020, as we consider the US Armed Forces' lives lost serving our country over the past 244 years. Atop that, currently we are facing a disease more deadly and faster acting that some of the big wars we have engaged in, with 98,129 reported US deaths from the Covid-19 pandemic as of twenty minutes ago (as I write this), found at Wikipedia. The worldwide number is 349,286. These aren't just numbers. These are human souls we have lost. These are sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, and other relations and friends.<br />
<br />
A collage of all their faces would bring me to tears. In fact, just writing this has me crying.<br />
<br />
Shaking my head at how many lives we could have saved if we had only implemented certain commonsense precautions much, much earlier, like closing our borders and wearing masks and social distancing and proper handwashing, learning what to do and what not to do from the loosely related 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. Plus what about Obama's playbook left behind? We could still learn so much from the way other countries have handled this novel coronavirus, like South Korea.<br />
<br />
I applaud so many state officials here in the US for their brave and proactive and efficient and early efforts to control this pandemic, especially NY Governor Andrew Cuomo for his leadership and his fast action to save the people of New York. But his actions also helped to save the people of the United States. Thank you, Governor Cuomo, for all you do, for all you continue to do.<br />
<br />
We must wear masks and practice social distancing and proper handwashing to protect not only ourselves but our family, our friends, our fellow Americans, our worldwide community. This isn't about personal freedoms or selfishness, folks. This is about love for others.<br />
<br />
For all those fighting this horrific disease in the front lines, what would we do without you? I shudder to imagine ... You are truly heroic warriors.<br />
<br />
For everyone else, stay home. Stay safe. Be well.<br />
<br />
Love your neighbor as thyself. <br />
<br />
God bless us all.<br />

But the fact that the virus cannot live on copper for four hours seems remarkable to me. The air seems to make it go away in three. To date, these are the two fastest "surfaces" to get rid of Covid-19. Per livescience.com, they state:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

Granted this is a "novel" virus, as it appears to be new to humans, to differentiate it from all the other forms of coronaviruses (from my layperson's understanding). So we have a lot to learn. What is scary is that some people with the virus (confirmed by one of those rare tests out there in the US) have no symptoms. So we can't watch for symptoms before we isolate.<br />
<br />
We must assume we all are infected and act responsibly, for us and everyone else.<br />
<br />
And our human body needs copper, a trace mineral. Per MedicalNewsToday.com:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

Dave Asprey's Bulletproof formulation of Zinc and Copper Dietary Supplement acknowledges his research that confirms zinc (great for sore throats, BTW, noted as a Covid-19 symptom too) with the addition of copper helps its assimilation in the body.<br />
<br />
Per <a href="https://www.helpguide.org/harvard/vitamins-and-minerals.htm">https://www.helpguide.org/harvard/vitamins-and-minerals.htm</a><br />
<br />
<ul class="arrows" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Myriad Pro", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 16px 1.1225em; padding: 0px; position: relative;">Copper helps form several enzymes, one of which assists with iron metabolism and the creation of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. [Emphasis and personal note added with bold font.]</li>
</ul>
<br />
So, as a layperson with no medical or scientific training other than a curious mind, why can't copper fight Covid-19? Why wait for some supposed chemical cure months/years down the road when we can supplement now?<br />
<br />
Granted, beware of any copper toxicity. Again per the helpguide.org site above noted, it is stated:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "PT Serif", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.41; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">

Trace minerals interact with one another, sometimes in ways that can trigger imbalances. Too much of one can cause or contribute to a deficiency of another. Here are some examples:</blockquote>
<ul class="arrows" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Myriad Pro", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 16px 1.1225em; padding: 0px; position: relative;">A minor overload of manganese can exacerbate iron deficiency. Having too little can also cause problems.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 16px 1.1225em; padding: 0px; position: relative;">When the body has too little iodine, thyroid hormone production slows, causing sluggishness and weight gain as well as other health concerns. The problem worsens if the body also has too little selenium.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Myriad Pro", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "myriad pro bold" "important"; font-weight: 700;">The difference between “just enough” and “too much” of the trace minerals is often tiny. <u>Generally, food is a safe source of trace minerals</u>, but if you take supplements, it’s important to make sure you’re not exceeding safe levels. [Emphasis added with underlining.]</span></blockquote>
But my personal plan in the meantime is (and I am not affiliated with any brands noted herein, nor am I benefiting monetarily from these personal endorsements):<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>I am taking an additional 10,000 to 15,000 mg of liposomal Vitamin C daily as preventative measures [per Shanghai's recent success with both intravenous and oral Vitamin C treatments]. See <a href="https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=228745">https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=228745</a>. However, just because I am asymptomatic, that doesn't mean I don't already have Covid-19. Just ask Rand Paul. Therefore, I guess you could call this my prevention/treatment plan.</li>
<li>I'm taking Bulletproof's zinc and copper formulation daily, one capsule, 15 mg zinc and 2 mg copper.</li>
<li>That is on top of my daily Nutrience morning/evening powdered multivitamin/mineral supplement, which contains 100% of all recommended vitamins and the major minerals (except for calcium, as it seems the body can only assimilate 500 mg at a time, so it takes more than an a.m./p.m. structure; thus I dose again at lunchtime). Nutrience specifically contains 90 mg of Vitamin C and 11 mg zinc, with no noted copper reference that I found. Which makes sense if deemed a trace mineral and should be in our daily diet.</li>
<li>I am blessed to be able to work from home. I am in the DFW area of Texas. I have stopped running errands, even to the grocery store, opting for online deliveries these last couple weeks. And looks like that trend will continue for months. I'll be eating from my pantry more. Note to self: Start my car weekly to keep the battery juiced up.</li>
<li>I'm also taking various Ancestral Supplements offerings: Grassfed Beef Liver, Beef Brain, Bone Marrow. Mostly for bone health and extra brain support for the detail-oriented freelance work that I do. But, since the liver is a major detox organ in our body, I'm wondering if this is part of my ongoing defense against Covid-19 too. I'm not even taking the full dose (6 capsules a day) on any of these, yet I first started with Bone Marrow probably three months ago. Just food for thought here.</li>
</ol>
<br />
I hope this helps someone out there.<br />
<br />
We're all affected by this, even without being infected by this.<br />
<br />
God bless us all.<br />

<li>Sequestering the sick (remember how Grandma put the sick person is their own room, shut the door, and she was the only one allowed in and out?)</li>
<li>Washing hands properly for 20-30 seconds</li>
<li>Sequestering the "healthy" due to the lack of testing and to flatten the curve on this nasty virus</li>
<li>Pray</li>
<li>Watch happy/funny films</li>
<li>Don't focus on the news so much (yeah, I'm having trouble with that one myself)</li>
</ul>

So I'm working from that experience. Regardless, for all business types, consult your accountant or financial advisor or attorney. </i><br />
<br />
If you are a freelancer who pays quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS, we all pretty well remember the dates associated with those four IRS quarters (not to be confused with what accountants may deem as the standard quarters of any calendar year, BTW).<br />
<br />
These IRS quarters are usually on (or after in some years)<b> the fifteenth day of April, June, September, and January of the following calendar year. See IRS Form 1040-ES for each tax year to confirm</b>.<br />
<br />
Per the IRS.gov website (found at https://www.irs.gov/faqs/estimated-tax/individuals/individuals-2), a chart is provided of actual deadlines for 2020 estimated taxes. Although "2020" is not specifically stated, in the footnote at the bottom, it notes "<i>Page Last Reviewed or Updated: 25-Nov-2019</i>." And I've checked my 2020 calendar to confirm all these dates fall on weekdays (no weekends).<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>But did you know</b> that you can make multiple payments toward each of the four quarterly deadlines?<br />
<br />
Per the IRS.gov website again (found at https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/estimated-taxes), here's an excerpt relevant to this discussion, but you should particularly read the part I've bolded therein:<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">

</div>
Granted, I would like to hold on to my money as long as possible to cover any surprise expenses that may come. However, I have to balance that mind-set with the reality of paying a huge (IMO) chunk of money to the IRS quarterly to avoid paying an even bigger wad come income tax time.<br />
<br />
Obviously I'll make those four IRS deadlines for quarterly payments/income tax payments. But for the other eight months of the year? Yeah. I think I will make a monthly payment. Both my bank and my online payment system give me monthly earnings calculations, so it's easy to then apply my 15.3% in <b>self-employment </b>taxes (adding in a guesstimate to cover actual <b>income </b>taxes), to arrive at a relevant monthly figure that I owe the IRS. I'll tweak each month accordingly, especially around those four tax-time months.<br />
<br />
Now if you are making the big bucks, this may not work for you. Especially when you can earn some major interest on your own money in the meantime. I get that. Then wait to the last minute to fork over that IRS payment. But me? I'm making pennies on my dollars that sit in plain old checking and savings accounts. So better for me to send that money earlier to the IRS rather than maybe spend it on splurges at the grocery store. In my financial world, if it's in my checking account, my net balance (taking into account the pending bills to be paid), seems like free money to me. Knowing this about me, I can't let that tax money end up in my checking account. :)<br />
<br />
Just remember. Freelancers, whether poor or rich, need a financial plan. If yours is to avoid credit card debt or to set up an emergency fund with six months' worth of living expenses therein, you must figure that out for yourself, based on your particular circumstances.<br />
<br />
Help stop the worry by starting an emergency fund, paying in estimated taxes more often, even meditating and deep breathing and voicing your gratitude and exercising and sunbathing and forest bathing and reading and journaling and writing and whatever else adds more joy to your life.<br />
<br />
Overall, be kind to yourself and others. Amen.<br />

All such political-leaning comments, in my sole discretion, will be deleted.</i><br />
<br />
That said, the main point of this post is simply this:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<h2>
<b>Get out and vote, people, in the primaries as well as your local and state elections leading up to the Tuesday, November 3, 2020, presidential election.</b></h2>
</blockquote>
</div>
<br />
Everybody's vote counts. Don't listen to those who say, "But my vote cancels out yours, so let's not bother."<br />
<br />
It matters because <b>we </b>matter. Our <b>individual </b>voices matter. Remember to:<b> </b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Proudly exercise your right to vote.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know I will. Join me?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>God bless America.</b></div>
I am LIVING THE DREAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08196539892257862445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986699207738450999.post-67492883211372898482020-02-14T18:59:00.000-08:002020-02-14T18:59:21.875-08:00Copyediting Tip: The Problem with PronounsThe problem with pronouns is when you have two or more males (or two or more females) in a conversation and drop in "he." If Tom, Bill, and Brian are all talking, and you have several lines of tagless dialogue, can you, the reader, be certain if "he" is Tom or Bill or Brian?<br />
<br />
Avoid any reader confusion in instances like this by changing any dubious "he" references to the person's name instead.<br />
<br />
It's all about clarity, folks.<br />
<br />
Keep on writing.<br />

adjectives differ from the "same kind" (coordinate) adjectives where serial commas are used. These cumulative adjectives follow a certain order: Number + Opinion + Size
+ Age + Shape + Color +Origin/Nationality + Material + Purpose (which all
identify/modify one particular noun inserted herein at the end). Note that some sources switch the Size + Age to be Age + Size. Just FYI. An example using all noted categories is: “Three perfect petite newborn cupped
yellow French organic homeopathic roses lay on the table.” Of course, you
would rarely use all the various types of cumulative adjectives in the same sentence; it’s cumbersome. Also note that the coordinate adjectives are just one kind of cumulative adjective used over and over. My flag example above uses three color adjectives, turning cumulative adjectives of the same category into coordinate adjectives. </span></blockquote>
This is fascinating to me. Granted, the editing part comes after the creating part. I find myself, when in author mode, intent on getting my thoughts down before they expire. Then, when review time comes, my copyediting self comes into play.<br />
<br />
Whether you implement these 17CMS rules or not in your first draft, hopefully you have a great copy editor to catch these for you.<br />

<br />I am LIVING THE DREAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08196539892257862445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986699207738450999.post-14660875915018320962020-01-26T05:27:00.002-08:002020-01-26T05:27:47.972-08:00Saving Our Planet: Baby Steps CountAfter watching a Farmacy broadcast by Dr. Mark Hyman on YouTube, where he speaks of a rancher who gained like twenty-nine inches of topsoil through regenerative farming practices, I breathed a sigh of relief.<br />
<br />
We might be able to save our planet.<br />
<br />
Granted, we hear of food waste all the time. But we need to recast that phrase into a planet-saving light. Sure. I don't eat all the food I buy. However, I'm doing three things to address that problem.<br />
<ul>
<li>First, I'm really trying to limit my buying to what I will actually eat that week that cannot be frozen for later. I'm a Deep South gal who loves her food, who enjoys cooking, and so the grocery store is a huge lure for me. BTW, frozen kale in my Zuppa Toscana is nowhere near as great as using the fresh kale in my soup. Duly noted.</li>
<li>Second, I'm adding green drinks to my menu, using up not-so-pretty food but still safely edible. So, if you had planned for a great big salad, got distracted for a couple days, instead plan on drinking your veggies.</li>
<li>Third, I'm adding that otherwise spoiled food to a backyard compost pile, not to my garbage bag.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Small steps. Big differences.<br />
<br />
See my friend Nicci's related post at https://niccicarrera.com/2020/01/22/five-tips-for-waste-reduction/ wherein she has this great motto (which I am now adopting as well):<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
My motto is a quote that was shared in one of my social media streams:</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>We don’t need a few people doing waste reduction perfectly; we need a
million people doing waste reduction imperfectly.</b></blockquote>
</blockquote>
Amen.<br />
<br />
And a great big shout-out to Greta for all her hard work involved in getting the word out in the global arena.<br />
<br />
God bless us all.<br />

Yet I also see the need for boundaries and for standing up to bullies, with kindness and tact as needed but with a firm stand when required as well. That said, here are some recommendations as we near 2020:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Read Candace Cameron Bure's book, <i>Kind Is the New Classy</i>, and others of its ilk. We can all change the world, one person at a time, starting with ourselves. If that book title doesn't call to you, then I suggest watching the rip-roaring action movie, <i>6 Underground</i>, with Ryan Reynolds, currently offered on Netflix. Yes, I'm tongue-in-cheek here, as you don't need to be a billionaire tech guru or to own guns to pull off this "save the world" motif. But this should get your blood pumping and may inspire you to at least get off the couch and to make yourself into a better human being, one step at a time.</li>
<li>Follow through with actions, not just speaking your words or reading someone else's words about good ideas for New Year's resolutions. Make active resolutions, where you follow through. When I cut back on my drive-through Starbucks addiction (ha!), I ended up funneling that money into Kiva loans. I still drink Starbucks but mostly the home-brewed version. Yet this change felt right back then. Feels true now as well.</li>
<li>I urge <i>everyone </i>of legal age to register to vote and to cast your vote, regardless of which political election is involved. <b>NOTE: This is not a political forum. Any comments too pointed in that vein will be deleted, even if I agree with you. No names to be named, please. No name-calling will be tolerated here.</b> I urge everyone to register to vote and to cast your vote. It's the American way. So many countries in the world don't have this right. Heck, we American women just got the right to vote less than one hundred years ago, via the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to our US Constitution, officially adopted on August 26, 1920. Not even one century ago could US-born females of age vote. Shaking my head as here I sit, in this country, the land of the free. Hard to fathom, yes. But, regardless of your sex, vote. Offer to drive a senior citizen to the polls with you or someone without a vehicle or whoever you can help to get there who might not otherwise make the effort without a nudge.</li>
<li>Be gentle with yourself as well as others, as long as your rights aren't being violated.</li>
<li>Speak up if you are being violated. Speak up if you witness others being violated. You have to stand up to bullies. Don't wait. Do it now. This reminds me of a famous Ayn Rand quote, which goes something like this, "Evil requires the sanction of the victim." I would love to further tweak that line to say:</li>
</ol>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<b>The continuance of evil requires the continued silence of the victim.</b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't be silent when it comes to evil.</div>
<br />
<div>
Here's to New Year 2020. May it bring in a better era, a brighter decade, a healthier, happier and more peaceful humanity.</div>

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "roboto"; font-size: 24px;">For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and <b>the government shall be upon his shoulder</b>: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. [Emphasis added.]</span></blockquote>
<br />
Best wishes to all, regardless of color, creed or religious preference. And I hope everyone prays for us all. May God bless us all, now and into the coming new decade.<br />

For those of us who have more time than money, you can spread the word. Please post to your social media accounts and let others know about this opportunity to save someone's pet.</div>

Even though I do not live in Heartland USA, where Kristi's endeavor is initially launching, I still have to give what I can to her dream. If you are local to Kristi's nonprofit you could donate time as a volunteer.</div>

Or maybe this big dream of Kristi's nudges along your own dreams. I believe we are all here for a purpose (which is why suicides seem so doubly painful to me). So maybe this dream isn't calling to you? You can give in so many ways to make this planet a better place for all of us today, tomorrow and into the future.</div>

I'm sure I'll think of many more examples for this list. What about you? What do you want to be known for in this life? Can you picture what your personal branding would look like, so that it captured the real essence of you? Have any other ideas for my list? Suggestions? Dreams you want to share?</div>
<div>

<div>
Two more things come to mind: (1) It takes a village. While every donation helps, just think if we all pooled our resources to make a bigger impact on a common goal? What more could we do then? That's why my small donation will do so much more in Kristi's hands. (2) Also see this short clip that Tim Ferriss recommended on how wolves change the course of rivers. We really interact with our surroundings, without even knowing it. Take a look here <a href="https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+wolves+change+rivers&qpvt=how+wolves+change+rivers&FORM=VDRE">https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+wolves+change+rivers&qpvt=how+wolves+change+rivers&FORM=VDRE</a> :</div>

I love it. Completely. Fully. Without reservation. Even during the lean months. But you do need a certain constitution in order to handle things, like:<br />
<br />
1. <b>I don't get paid on the first and the fifteenth of every month</b>. And I'm good with that. But you must have the grit and the determination to wait out this unknown period until another project comes in. To not worry (much). After all, when that next project arrives, you'll shake your head and tell yourself that you should have been removing the deadwood from all your trees in the backyard instead of moping and fretting. So now, when the paying work is done, I move on to my own writing projects. Or DIY home stuff. Or weeding my yard. Or decluttering. Or organizing (and hopefully culling) my ever-growing recipe stash. Reading. Watching movies. Cleaning house (but that's usually a last resort, LOL). Or any of another dozen or so projects I'm anxious to get to.<br />
<br />
2. <b>I don't get paid the same amount when I do get paid</b>. Gone are the days of two paychecks a month for the same $X, where you could easily predict your monthly income and budget accordingly. Granted, I've worked every kind of employee compensation setup: <b>monthly </b>(hard to do at first and still hard to have money those last couple days before paid once again); <b>every two weeks </b>(so you get twenty-six paychecks in a year and sometimes three paychecks in one calendar month) which makes it tricky to cover certain big-ticket bills, like your mortgage for instance, but you learn;<b> twice-monthly</b>, the standard first and fifteenth paycheck, which I kinda preferred overall (but you get twenty-four paychecks a year, and sometimes the first or fifteenth lands on a weekend and your employer may pay later on the next weekday). But those are payments for employees paid by the hour or salaried, depending on your setup. Then there's <b>by the project</b>. That's me. Some payments are under $10. Some payments are much bigger. But some months I get no money in at all. Such is the freelancing life. Before you freak out, remember that I've been doing this for twelve years now. And somehow it all works out.<br />
<br />
3. <b>I work every calendar day when I have paying work</b>. No holidays off. No vacations taken. No birthdays off. No weekends off either. Granted, I'm a homebody, and I'm doing what I love, so I feel like I'm on vacation every day of my life since I began this freelancing journey twelve years ago. However, my body knows when to say <i>Enough!</i> And I listen to and respect that and take a full day off here and there. But I figure I have enough days off when the projects don't keep coming in. Plus I have my daily routine. I straighten up the house a bit to keep on top of the mess, fix my coffee, check my emails for incoming new projects, read a bit about what's new with the publishing industry and about copyediting, then dive into my topmost project. And I religiously give myself downtime at night to unwind.<br />
<br />
4. <b>I limit eyestrain</b>. I'm a copy editor, the spelling and grammar police for authors, which means I'm watching for stray spaces (not kidding), making sure a period is at the end of sentences where needed, that a semicolon shouldn't be a comma there. Very detailed work dealing with minutia. So I read all the time. Not only do I make two complete read-throughs of each and every project that I work on (to catch as many errors as is humanly possible), but I love to read in my downtime. So I give my eyes a break with each cup of coffee I get up to make, each cup of water I drink, each nap I take, each bathroom trip I take, each meal I stop for (whenever I'm hungry, no matter what time of day), even when watching Netflix at night from a greater screen distance than I do my copyediting work. And I use f.lux on my computers (said to diminish the blue light emissions which cause eyestrain and sleep disruptions). Also I recently bought a pair of TrueDark glasses, Daywalkers (with the distinctive yellow lenses) and Twilight Zone (with the more distinctive red lenses). I noticed better, deeper, less interrupted sleep the very first night. And my eyes seemed stronger (vague, yes) where I felt I could work longer each day. Still there are upper limits I must abide by.<br />
<br />
5. <b>I work any hour of the day possible</b>. This is such a bonus to being a freelancer. If I wake up at 2:00 a.m. and can't immediately get back to sleep, I head to my home office. I work a couple hours. Then I'm usually able to fall back to sleep.<br />
<br />
6. <b>I take naps!</b> Not every day but that perk is available to me. Only in kindergarten did I have this luxury outside of my own home.<br />
<br />
7. <b>The nonexistent dress code</b>. This may be one of the best reasons to love working for yourself. No stupid dress codes. Living in Texas, I mow my lawn nine to ten months out of the year. And I wear flip-flops nine to ten to eleven months out of the year. No more pantyhose. No more makeup (I'm a minimalist gal-next-door type). My hair in a ponytail. Each and every day. Gone are the curling wands and/or circular brushes and blow-dryers to make my superstraight hair be curly. What a waste of time that was.<br />
<br />
8. <b>I can run errands at any time</b>. Even now, some twelve years later into this freelancing gig, I feel like I'm playing hooky when I get to run around town during "normal" working hours (after too many years in the basic cubicle mentality). I do try to restrict my runs to weekday mornings where there is less foot traffic in the stores. And to help out those 9-to-5ers who don't need me shopping during their time off. I remember those days of a minimum 1.5-hour commute round trip daily and then stopping at the grocery store at 7:00 p.m. at night. Meaning, if I was lucky, I got home at 8:00 p.m. and still had to unload the groceries. You can bet no cooking was done that evening. Now I can do a grocery run (to about five local stores), come home, put it up, prep certain items<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">—</span>like chopping up green onions, ready for an omelet at any time<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">—</span>or split up a family pack of chicken breasts into smaller portions which will defrost faster. I'm a foodie, a Deep South gal who enjoys a good home-cooked meal, so this is a real bonus to me.<br />
<br />
9. <b>I am my own boss</b>. I'm diligent about reaching deadlines and have never been late to return any project to the wonderful authors I work with. This is a required skill, a much-needed discipline to have in any line of work but especially when it's your own business. I saw signs of this need to be my own boss many, many years before leaving the corporate environment. I'm sure my previous bosses did too. Ha!<br />
<br />
10. <b>Sometimes you have to make choices as to which bill to pay</b>. I'm a geek who gets extreme pleasure receiving bills and paying them immediately. So, as a freelancer with a now-fluid income, this one was hard. But you make wise choices and catch up on those other bills when more money comes in. Yet I'm proof positive that you can wiggle your way through it. <span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> And even stop worrying about it. </span>After all, I bought my first home in 2000 (where I still live), but I was working as a legal assistant at that time, making a nice salary and getting paid routinely twice a month. Then in mid-2007, I left that day job and started freelancing. Yet here I am, mid-2019, still paying the mortgage on that house I bought in 2000, yet earning only half (in a good year!) of what I used to make. I mean, if worse comes to worse, I'll hire on as a cashier at the local box store. Not kidding. You do what you gotta do. But I'm happy to note that I haven't needed a day job to bolster my freelance earnings since 2011. Just hang tough. Be open to new income streams (mine is writing my own books, but I need to put more of my spare time into that). Seek out more clients (which I do mostly through this blog and my KB ad), but thankfully I get most of my clients by referrals. God bless you all.<br />
<br />
All in all, the freelancing life is heaven to me. I belong here. It's a sweet lifestyle. But I know it's not right for everyone. But it was more than perfect for me.<br />
<br />
Wherever you work, may you be greatly appreciated and may you also thoroughly enjoy every moment of your career!<br />

Flip-flops make me smile. They segue into great summertime memories and feelings of complete freedom (before I became an adult). They are a talisman for me. But I have lots more freedom in my adult life now as a freelancer. I'm feeling so grateful for this life of self-employment that I had to post about it. Again.<br />

I'm a Deep South gal from Baton Rouge now living in the DFW area. So I can wear flip-flops ten months out of the year (and mow my lawn about nine months out of the year too). My casual attire in my home office is such a wonderful freedom from my years spent as a legal assistant, where you wouldn't believe the strange rules I worked under.<br />
<br />
One law firm didn't want their female employees to wear sleeveless dresses or tops (even if going through early menopause after a hysterectomy and suffering through hot flashes for years). Another firm wouldn't let women wear pants (even if below freezing outside).<br />
<br />
<b>So to wear flip-flops (no hose, no heels, no slips) is freedom to me.</b><br />
<br />
The other thought I wanted to share here is that we should all do something today (and every day hereafter if possible) that we have been putting off for later, whether for a theoretical vacation or for that magical day when all our work is done or for when we retire.<br />
<br />
I see such problems with that line of thought. First, my work <i>is</i> my vacation. I've never been big on traveling as I am such a homebody, loving cooking, reading, watching movies, being in nature. So spending money on some vacation doesn't sound like a good use of funds, IMO. Yet ... I would love to see firsthand some great wonders of the world. But I'm happy to peruse awesome photos in the meantime.<br />
<br />
Second, when will all our work ever be done? Granted, there is paying work (freelancing), and there is nonpaying work (DIY projects at home). And I was raised with a strong work ethic, so I tended to be such a workaholic when in the corporate world. When I started working for myself, my high-octane "normal" mode just doubled. Tripled even.<br />
<br />
And retiring? I plan on working long after I retire, as I'm an author as well as a copy editor.<br />
<br />
So, while I put in more hours to my freelancing, I spend downtime at night either reading for pleasure or watching movies on DVD or on Netflix. This week I'm motivated to read more than watch movies. And I have a sudden urge to paint my nails (which is not altogether wise when involved in DIY projects or even handwashing dishes, rubber gloves or no rubber gloves). Still it makes me smile to see my nails done (fingers <i>and </i>toes because, as mentioned above, I wear flip-flops).<br />
<br />
<b>This post is to share my happiness and to hope it is contagious, plus to remind us all to be grateful daily and to stop putting off doing enjoyable things for "later."</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Therefore, I urge you all to treat yourself to a minivacation at some point in each day.</b><br />

<br />I am LIVING THE DREAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08196539892257862445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986699207738450999.post-29688979085799336262019-03-28T03:58:00.000-07:002019-03-28T03:58:15.939-07:00Vote for Your Dream Life with Your Time and Your FocusWhat do I mean by that? Choose your top three areas where you need to do more, where you should focus more so that it leads to the creation of your dream life.<br />
<br />
Why three? It's more impactful than one, and it's not so overwhelming as seven. Plus, it only involves one hour of time total (if I just do the minimum time allotted). If I want to work longer on each, so be it.<br />
<br />
Here's my take on this:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Physical Goal: Start exercising again. I've set it up for fifteen minutes a day, as early in the day as I can, since I'm more likely to do it that way. Plus it sets me up for more successes throughout the day. Success begets success, right? This is both a short-term and long-term goal. I feel the benefits of exercise while I'm doing it, pushing my body, and afterward I feel renewed energy. Plus I can look forward to long-term benefits of added health and longevity and newly defined muscles and more flexibility.</li>
<li>Mental Goal: Decluttering for at least fifteen minutes a day. I'm a paper-gathering pack rat, what with all my writing-related info and my recipe collecting and my massive library of books (which will remain regardless). I've already cleared out one shelf. Totally empty. I smile every time I see it. Getting this done gives me mental head space as I clear out my physical space. One less thing to worry about, right? Even if I don't get through all my paper piles and boxes of research in one day (not possible), I'm making continuous progress. It's all good. Again I remind myself of both the short-term and long-term benefits of this.</li>
<li>Monetary Goal: Upload more of my own ebooks by setting aside thirty minutes each day to focus on this production. Granted, the money benefit is a long-term goal. But the satisfaction of getting this done and off my To Do list is a gratifying short-term goal. I'm currently working on a menu-planning series (my adaptation of a recipe book but presented in sections, like bread, chicken, desserts, etc.). Whether I'm doing the next book cover, researching some health element, sorting through my recipes for the ones to add to this current ebook, it all counts.</li>

<br />
Be honest to others, using tact as needed.<br />
<br />
I've said this before, and I'll probably keep saying it forever. I'm an author, a blogger, a copy editor. Communication is key. Honest communication is the best. How can we make an informed decision if we don't have all the details? How can we have a truly healthy and rewarding relationship (whether as friends or as coworkers or as parents or as spouses) if both parties are withholding key elements about themselves?<br />
<br />
Granted, even when our hearts are in the right place and even when we communicate honestly, our message can be totally distorted on both the giving end (wrong choice of words maybe?) and on the receiving end (hot buttons pushed maybe?). Hopefully further communication can clear up that disconnect. But also remember: their response is more telling about them and their beliefs than it is about you and what you said.<br />
<br />
Talk about a tell. That will give you further insight into that person. Use that information wisely.<br />

Communication is key in everything I do. I propose that it is vital in all that any of us do, if we are to meet with success, whether in our personal relationships or in our business interactions.<br />
<br />
So here is the art of true communication in a nutshell:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>With your heart and mind and body aligned with your higher purpose,</li>
<li>Speak honestly and truthfully about your emotions and your wants,</li>
<li>Using tact as needed,</li>
<li>Not presuming to know other people's feelings and desires,</li>
<li>As no one can fully realize your fears and hopes without your input.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Make the world a better place. Improve your relationships. Be honest. Be truthful. Be bold. Share your innermost self.</div>

I am LIVING THE DREAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08196539892257862445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986699207738450999.post-78096999103862057802019-01-04T08:15:00.002-08:002019-01-04T08:15:33.961-08:00Our IdentitiesThis will be a short post, just putting this thought out there, for you to contemplate and maybe for me to expound upon later.<br />
<br />
I watched a Hallmark movie recently, with a very intrusive mother trying to fix up her grown business-oriented daughter, getting her into a relationship. The mother was being pressured by the father into retiring from her real estate business just for six months this year so they could go to Italy. But the mother had problems with the word "retirement," even on a part-time basis. The movie is <i>Love by Chance </i>and stars Beau Garrett as the harassed daughter. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAYLXIS2-VY.<br />
<br />
Labels.<br />
<br />
Then the next day I watched a Hack Your Sleep video by Dr. Mark Hyman with Shawn Stevenson. Very interesting. If you have an hour, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LERJSdRdeB0. Shawn had been this promising young athlete who suffered a major injury early on. He had to reidentify himself.<br />
<br />
Labels.<br />
<br />
And thank goodness for that. His background as an athlete gave him a great insight into his later endeavors in researching medical advances and scientific data regarding sleep. It affects, ... well, everything. Our body is a miraculous system of systems.<br />
<br />
Plus Shawn touched on how active and vocal our brains are. Not like the other organs of our body. And how the placebo effect works 30 percent of the time. How to "decide" is to "cut off other possibilities."<br />
<br />
What I get from that is: Tell yourself what you need to hear to heal. To prosper. To be happy. Be your own cheerleader. Exhort, uplift and encourage yourself.<br />
<br />
Watch what labels you affix to your self-identity.<br />
<br />
To others' sense of self.<br />
<br />
Like that old saying, Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater, we must be careful not to label a person (us or anyone else) by one measuring stick. Like I'm an author, blogger and copy editor. However, I'm also this eternal student, sucking up myriad topics from various sources; a voracious reader; a lover of coffee, cats and antique cars; a movieholic; and a foodie. And that doesn't touch upon my hobbies.<br />
<br />
Don't box yourself in. Don't discount your gifts, whether because of a lack of monetization or even the current lack of time to indulge in them.<br />
<br />
Keep your options open.<br />
<br />
Be kind to yourself.<br />
<br />
Be kind to others.<br />
<br />
In closing, I ran across this Bible verse recently, and I find it applicable here:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He hath showed thee, O Man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth of thee: surely to do justly, and to love mercy, and to humble thyself, to walk with thy God. Micah 6:8 (Geneva Bible)</blockquote>
<br />
In other words, be nice to yourself as well as to others.<br />

That's too long in my opinion. While I want to release at least one book a year, I'm shooting for more like one per quarter. However, I do work as a copy editor, and those projects by other authors do take precedence over my own.<br />
<br />
While this blog shows my progress on two of my WIPs (both planned to be fiction series), it was my third WIP, another series, but in the nonfiction genre, that just went live.<br />
<br />
And, for the record, although Amazon stated it could be seventy-two hours for my book to appear online, it was only five hours and twenty minutes. Thank you, Amazon! The site is getting faster and faster. Amazing.<br />
<br />
So here's my cover of my newest series, a menu-planning guide with recipes:<br />
<br />
<img alt="A Freelancer's Almanac-Style Guide to Menu Planning (Month 1, the Basics): Even When Short on Time, Money or Ideas by [Barker, Denise]" height="200" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/411Tl4Rnx8L.jpg" width="154" /><br />
https://amzn.to/2PX2NwI<br />
<br />
And here's my description, showing my purpose behind this goal:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>Why I Wrote This Book</b></span><br />
<b><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I wrote this planned series of books for me first (to gather all my favorite recipes into one collection of various books in both ebook and paperback form to eliminate the paper clutter of loose sheets of recipes in my home), for my son second (to pass down my family’s heirloom recipes), and to share with my readers third (to make your job of menu planning hopefully easier than it was for me).</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>Why Is It So Hard to Menu Plan? Or at Least It Was for Me …</b></span><br />
<b><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As both an author and a copy editor, I find it is so much easier to tweak a written document than to create one from scratch. Since nobody’s menu plan will fit everyone’s tastes and lifestyles, it’s a given that any such offering should be personalized. And certainly other people were plagued with this menu-planning task, right?</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">So here is mine to help you out as you craft one better for you and yours.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">NOTE: I am not a medical professional, but I offer my own insights and some findings from various internet searches here in my menu-planning guide in an effort to provide a convenient launching point for others to create their own menu plans. I have also included thirty-five recipes in this book.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>Why a “Freelancer’s Guide” to Menu Planning, You May Ask?</b></span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">From a freelancer’s point of view, it’s all about dealing with the lack of time and/or money when attacking the what’s-for-dinner question. Since I have juggled this time/money issue for over a decade of freelancing, I thought I’d share how I handle this. Therefore, my particular meal planning is flexible, based on available funds.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>Why Almanac-Style?</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I consider this an almanac-style book because I’ve added in so much more than just a thirty-day menu plan: appropriate quotes, various Top 10 lists, assorted issues (like emotional eating, healthier substitutions, creating convenience foods at home), all of which lend to a sense of diversity in this book. Therefore, being almanac in style.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">***</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Just getting this first book done has been freeing, a step toward organizing all my recipes. I had a cookbook in me, but it was so daunting to cull through 7,500+ recipes. And those are just the paper copies I have at home. That doesn't begin to count the saved recipes I have on various online sites.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Baby steps. Who would imagine how freeing this is for me on this one project? And this bit of organizing is infiltrating into other areas of my home. Simply wonderful!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying the Christmas lights popping up everywhere. Have a great week, everyone.</span><br />

<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Fear and Anger:</b> Both are normally touted as "bad" emotions. But I propose that each have a good side as well. I know, for me, anger motivates me to plunge ahead with a goal, regardless of any perceived fears. Granted, if it pushed me to resort to violence, that would be bad anger at work. Just make sure of your motivation, your goal. And some fears need to be faced to find the silver lining inside. Same with procrastination. What are the top three things you are putting off? Those are the very things that should be the top three items on your To Do list. Once you accomplish them, you'll feel so rewarded, so free, so productive, so happy. Try it. I dare you to spend fifteen minutes on your biggest procrastination, whether decluttering, exercising again, taking a hard look at your finances, whatever. So, like carbs of late, look for the good fears. Look for the good anger. Both should urge you on to success, to finding your purpose in life, to living a fuller life, to experiencing true joy daily.</li>
<li><b>Baby Steps; You Can Do Anything for Fifteen Minutes:</b> These are both sayings oft repeated by FlyLady.net and others. While easily applied to reinstate daily exercise routines, I applied it to my big nonfiction project of assembling a cookbook from the paper copies of recipes in my home. I've got three banker's boxes full, unless I've forgotten/misplaced other such boxes (which is totally possible), with an estimated 2,500 individual recipes in each box x 3 boxes = 7,500 recipes. Not counting those I've saved on individual recipe sites online, like Pioneer Woman and Delish and Yummly and others. Not counting those in my email folder labeled Recipes. Yes, this is a growing addiction of mine, collecting recipes. But last night's insomnia from 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. yielded me twenty pages of the start of my favorite recipes book, ones I use often, limited to 100 max. Baby steps in motion here. Now I'm making some traction on this beloved work-in-progress project. Wish me luck.</li>
