How’s 2010 so far? Still full from holiday eating? I am. Still stoked about the year ahead? I am. Still planning on getting healthier, more organised, finding more balance? Me, too. Feeling older? I am. The Boy turned 14 today. Sigh.
Anyway, here are a few great 2010 kickstart posts I’ve found, which could help you with your juggling act in the year ahead.
A Freelance Writer’s 2010 Resolutions
What I’ve Already Learned in 2010
Things You Should Stop Doing in 2010
Want to Start a Freelance Writing Career in 2010?
Hopefully in 2010, I’ll be able to dedicate more time to my various blogs, including some that I’d like to focus most on:
This one. Momphabet Soup — The ABC’s of Being a Freelance Writing WAHM
The WAH Blog - The Work at Home Blog
Health Niche, A Health Blog
and my SEO Writing Blog, which helps me promote my professional writing and web marketing services.
My writing business goals are to make more money this year AND find a way to take most weekends off. Happy New Year!

This isn’t really writing-related except that if you see anything from me online that has a typo on it, I can now blame the newest member of my family, who has an affinity for my keyboard.
Meet Tucker:

We have had a rough pet year. First, our 10 month old cat died mysteriously last June. She just lost her appetite, started having seizures and then died. Then, my 14 year old golden retriever had to be put down in September. I still cry almost daily missing him. He was always by my feet, whether I was working, sleeping, cooking, etc. I miss him.
Two weeks ago we adopted a rescue kitten and he was precious but very sick. Two vet trips later and he had to be put down. I was about ready to give up pets forever after so much heartache in a six month period but this new little guy has been here 5 days and is so far healthy, playful, cuddly, and fingers and toes crossed that he’ll be with us at least until my five year old goes off to college.
I keep catching him on the keyboard though so again, if you see anything online from me with a typo, Tucker probably did it

I gasped when The Boy told me Christmas was in 8 weeks. Of course I know it’s October but it really stung because I’m not ready — for many reasons!
I’ve started seeing Christmas commercial. Eek! So much for starting shopping in the summer like I said I’d do last year. Why do these boys’ lists get more pricey every year. The Wee Boy is asking for an iPod Touch. What? He’s 5!
So I decided to up my efforts for some passive income with affiliate marketing and article writing. I have regular clients but I need to make up extra cash. As I’ve gone on a quest to find more ways to make fast money online, I’ve written a few blog posts and articles about the topic. Here are some of those links, in case you’re on the same quest, and, because I like to give myself link love
Make Money at Bukisa (paid monthly)
Make Money with CloudCrowd (paid daily)
Make Money at Askables
(I’m helping Askables as their community mgr so I’m a bit biased in saying I think it offers great earning potential!)
Get Paid to Answer Questions
Make Money with Google Adsense (You probably won’t hit payout by christmas if you’re new to this but it could help you get out of debt next year, right?)
Choosing ClickBank products to promote
What do you do to make money at home fast at Christmas? As a Canadian freelance writer, I can’t work for some of the unlimited all-you-can-write buffet writing companies (Demand Studios, Textbroker) so would love some additional info if you can share any.
(p.s: That little boy is NOT getting an iPod touch before I get one!)
