What Plans To Make

It is this point, having definite plans for the development of my freelancing business, that has much relevance. In the week since I last posted (I should be in the habit of posting more often), little has been accomplished for such purposes. I've accomplished small trifles; nothing more. Having fresh business cards printed exposes my want of tangible elements. Obviously, the real work is what I'm doing with the projects that are currently occupying my attention and the prospects for more and varied subjects to explore in writing. SCK Freelancing is still a newborn venture when considered in light of the new dimensions I desire to add. If I were to ennumerate them, I would do so in the following way:

1. Concentrate on the development of a comprehensive writer's portfolio
2. Finding ways to add relevant content to this webspace despite its clear restrictions
3. Pursuing avenues for promoting the blog and, in effect, my writing business
4. Pursue advantageous relationships with fellow practitioners of the writing craft

These four points are but a starting place and leave plenty of room for further ellaboration. There will be more to come as I progress in my current projects.

Looking Forward To Progress

With a new conduit of creativity comes the responsibility to make it something worthy of the time that will be invested in its development. This new webspace, in the form of a blog, is just such a pathway. As a writer, I've been developing my skills writing for dozens of clients, all of who have asked me to create something to fulfill their professional needs; an article here, an ebook there. I have come away with additional skills some improvements in my ability to convey information, and the hope for something more. Spending most of my time as an anonymous ghostwriter has been useful, but as any good writer believes, the opportunity to shine as a distinctive voice and have your name on a byline remains a form of vindication and contentment--at least for a moment until you decide that another article must see the light of day or another story must be birthed and sent away to be experienced by others.

I want SCK Freelancing to be my jumping off point into a new level of writing as well a new dimension of professionalism and good business. That can seem like a lofty goal at times when life's complexities intevene. (In my case, it is tending after two small boys that can thrown a wrench in my daily writing aspirations.)

This simple blog, as I have noted before, will be slow work in progress, but I hope I develop projects and relationships that will enrich my own adventure into the writer's life.

A Brief Step

Today, I made some changes to the blog template. I'm not sure If I will leave them as they are, but it is a start. My goal is to make regular updates and them begin developing this webspace in a number of ways that will be outlined in the coming weeks.

One of the first priorities is to get together more information about SCK Freelancing, my writing business. I believe there are some necessary steps to move this all forward in a positve and more professional direction and use the business as a tool to open up more writing opportunities and expand my areas of expertise. I would also say here that I want to make this a place to communicate with writers, editors, and other industry professionals, as well as those aspiring writers that I share much common ground.

Again, this is an important work in progress. I have many ideas I would like to try out here. That's all for now.

It's A Start...

I have wanted to establish a writer's webspace for some time now and figured that it is either now or never. This page will be developing slowly as I am busy with projects. My hopes is that I can make this a meeting place for fellow writers, a point of contact between myself and potential clients, and a launch pad for developing further writing projects both in the realm of freelancing as well as other areas of writing, both fiction and non-fiction. This webpage is about taking my writing work to a new level and also opening up new possibilities. That is my hope anyway.
