PREVIEW: THE ULTIMATE FREELANCER'S GUIDEBOOK
Do you fight the urge to throw your alarm clock across the room each morning? Do you feel the most energized from 5:00 p.m. 'til midnight? Is morning your least favorite time of day? Do you have vacation time circled in the calendar in your cubicle?
Freelancing offers flexibility, ie, to work with your natural body clock instead of against it; to plan work around life (ie, vacation) instead of the other way around.
But how do you grasp the brass ring of freelancing? How do you go about it so that you don't fall flat on your face?
That's what you'll learn -- in comprehensive detail -- in "The Ultimate Freelancer's Guidebook." Nothing is left to chance. Everything you need to succeed is covered -- from how to secure your first clients, to how to brand your freelance business, to how to charge, to how to get paid.

TRAVELING FREELANCE WRITER
I'm American. In 2009, I started travelling frequently to Jamaica (Negril) . In 2014, I made the move permanent; one of my "bucket list" wishes was to live in another country full time. All I can say is, be careful what you wish for -- cuz you just may get it. And boy am I glad I did. :-)
ABOUT LIVING IN JAMAICA FULL-TIME
Since 2010, I've rented five places in Negril -- from studios with ocean views to a two-bedroom/two-bath house with a yard and access to an infinity pool (which overlooked the ocean; it was beyond gorgeous!) .
Now, I have a studio apartment with a balcony and an AMAZING ocean view (I'm talking a 270-degree view (it's one of the photos listed here) ) that is about a 20-minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes to bars and restaurants.
Note: See my YouTube videos to get an idea of some of the fun stuff there is to do in Jamaica -- and to see how beautiful it is. They detail one of the many trips I've taken to the mineral springs in the Blue Mountains. They can be found at on my YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/inkwellny.
I have the most amazing massages when I go here ... and talk about natural beauty -- this country is absolutely gorgeous!
