Why Copywriting is One of the Best Portable Careers
"My question is how much schooling or classes did you invest in or is this a path you self taught?" A reader sent in that question after receiving a recent email about portable careers. She was asking about my training as a writer. Writing is one of the most portable of careers, and as a writer you truly have a location independent business. JK Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book by hand on cafe napkins while her daughter slept. Most of us today use computers and need an internet …

Sea, Sun, and Local Color – I Found A Great Way to Start 2023
Saludos de Panama! I’m writing this newsletter looking out over the view above, listening to the waves. It’s a gorgeous day here in the Republic of Panama, with a fresh breeze keeping the heat at bay. Back home, temperatures are in the 60s during the day, 50s at night, and it’s cloudy. Not winter like I experienced in Vermont, but still winter and too cool for my liking. I come here to get away from all that. I arrived after an arduous two days of travel. I won’t bore you with the gory …
