Writers’ Roundup: March 1

Can you believe it’s already March? We’re working our way through 2013! Are you making progress towards your goals?

Here’s some weekend reading to inspire you:

• Fantastic resource from Tom Ewer: 100 blogs you need in your life. I love how you can sort the blogs by category. And thanks, Tom, for including this blog!

• Carol at Make a Living Writing reflects on why it’s so hard to be a freelance writer. I found this blog via Tom’s list (above) and it’s the newest addition to my Google Reader.

• At Problogger, Jeff Foster predicts that blogs allowing guest posts will be penalized by Google in 2013 — but the best part of this post is really the tips for guest blogging.

• Is email taking over your life? Natalie at The Suitcase Entrepreneur lists three tips for reducing email madness. (I’m a Canned Responses fan, too!)

• Seth Godin weighs in on a question faced by many solopreneurs: should you work for free?

• At Brazen Careerist, you’ll find four things you need to know about working in social media.

Enjoy your weekend!
