Being tax time, I find myself working through the financial details of my writing business to ensure that everything is properly accounted for. This is one of those right brain things that simply has to get done on a regular basis. If you leave it too long....well, let's just say it's bound to come up and bite you from behind.
As much as writing is a creative pursuit, if you truly want to spend your time doing what you love you have to make sure your ducks are in a row. Take a look at your marketing strategy. Have you thought out where your next jobs are coming from? Review your budget items and see whether you are keeping your expenses in line with your forecasts. How do things stand with your invoicing? Are you billing customers promptly and making sure they pay in the agreed upon time frame? These are all simple strategies that, left unattended, can end your business quickly.
So take a few moments now and see about your financial affairs. Once they're put to rest, you can get on with your creative day.
