Writers’ Roundup: March 8

My blog redesign is almost ready for launch… Get ready for a new and improved site! Can’t wait to share it with you.

Here’s some reading for your weekend:

• What happens when you put uncertainty, leadership, and infinite possibility in a blender? Entrepreneurship. According to Peter Shallard, entrepreneurship is self-growth you can gain for free.

• Who’s excited to explore this list from Caleb Wojcik? Top 10 audio podcasts for online entrepreneurs.

• Scott Dinsmore at Live Your Legend discusses why your hobby will likely never make a dime. (And what you can do to change that.)

• From The New York Times, in the wake of Yahoo’s decision to ban telecommuting: in defense of working mostly from home.

• After reading this piece by Nate Thayer about the state of journalism (and how difficult it can be to get paid for your work), check out this crowd-sourced guide to who pays writers.

• If you read my recent post on failure (and next steps for my travel memoir), don’t miss my agent’s take.

Happy weekend!
