Happy New Year - 2024

This year is starting off super busy but it includes many things I've wanted to do for a long time. After announcing my retirement from UB, I picked up two new freelance clients and confirmed two continuing ones and am juggling deadlines between them. I admit that I forgot how busy it can get when you're the only person working on a project, but it has been exhilarating at the same time. If you need help, let me know. I'll be able to expand my availabilty in February after I finish a lot of content migration!

Future planning

Well, this post might show if people are actually reading my blog. I am starting to envision how my post-UB life will look. Timing is changing, but it should happen by the end of 2023. So, if you are looking for freelance help with web content, social media, WordPress, technical writing, proofreading or special events, let me know. I'd love to talk to you.

Curating Twitter to "shut down"

Concerned about deleting my business Twitter account fully, so instead I'm parking it. I deleted all of my followers and stopped following everyone, and turned the account private. The I discovered that they created an "interests" section where they checked everything I ever tweeted about along with the current owner's name and his personal interests. I'm now unchecking all those boxes. In the process of deleting some old tweets I was reminded of all the ways I worked to start this business again in 2009. I took a class and started a website at http://offpeak DOT comxa DOT com/. It no longer exists, but I did one. I also brainstormed lots of ideas and wrote a lot of pitch letters. And 14 years later I continue to have a side hustle. Perseverance does pay off.
