While we are already far beyond New Year’s resolutions, let me share one that’s never too late to start. I save five-dollar bills. And just today, April 7, my 2016 stash topped $300.
I don’t even recall where I first read about it – one woman’s personal savings plan to stash every $5 that came her way – but I decided to try it.
For me, the key to success in this profession has been flexibility. People tell me they want to write screenplays or speeches, or ghost-write books. My aim is simpler – I want to write. Of course, I have niches I prefer, but I’m willing to take on pretty much any type of assignment. The variety is what keeps it interesting! In fact, some of the projects I assumed would be humdrum have been the most fascinating, once I’ve waded in.
