December 6, 2020December 6, 2020 christammillerFeatured, Musings

In like a lion, out like….

Rethinking, refining, reworking

March 3, 2020March 3, 2020 christammillerFeatured, Musings

No matter how much I might like to brand myself as “consistently inconsistent,” I’d like to find a better way. I’m not a fan of either separate accounts or one social network per interest.

A child's hands hold a seedling in dirt

With October’s focus on pitching clients and editors, my attention in November shifted slightly: to build a sustainable freelance business by cultivating the stories to pitch editors with, and the sources to support them. In my past freelance life — […]

Finding the forest among the trees: August’s freelance update

September 8, 2019September 8, 2019 christammillerBusiness, Featured, Musings

August was a busy, but at the same time slow month. Even when I was full time, I remember not a lot ever got done in August; vacations made it difficult to arrange interviews and pre-publication reviews, so often the […]
