A good use of AI, and one I used one time, is when you have a rambling interview and you can't quite connect what the person is trying to say. Many of my sources get to review before publication, so I'm able to phrase it better, run it by them, and not lose my mind guessing. #FreelanceFriends

Monk in my meditation group is obsessed with using AI to create images for his presentations to our weekly group (about 12-15 people). I've already warned him about using AI images for any work where he earns money. Copyright infringement is nothing to play with. #FreelanceFriends

A2: Personally, I would not. AI-generated content could contain plenty of plagiarized phrases, copyrighted slogans, you name it. No way I'd stick my hand in that flame.

A1: I have a writer friend who was asked to train AI, and another of her clients "told" her she'd be editing their AI-generated content. She declined both. #FreelanceFriends

Late to the party! Hi, #FreelanceFriends!

Ah, kitchen questions and dilemmas. Nice chatting with you all today! #FreelanceFriends

When I was actively promoting my business, I would attend an annual trade show. I set up the meetings prior to the show, making sure to build in time to meet the exhibitors and attendees. It was a great way to become known in the industry. #FreelanceFriends

#Freelancewriters are you feeling stalled and wondering how to increase earnings? It could be as simple as switching these things up: tinyurl.com/yw68uvuw

Decided to clean up my Word folders and found long-lost stories and notes. What fun to see what I was plotting out way back when! #writingcommunity #writing

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

Oh, the mistakes we make. wordsonpageblog.com/2025/09/how-... #freelanceing #freelance

Not a question for Jen, but a question for #FreelanceFriends folks: I'm hosting next week, looking at community building, and would love to hear what questions folks have as I work on organizing next week's materials.

Q2: Marketing consistently. (Paula knew I'd say that.) Market. Every. Day. Even if it's touching base with a single client or meeting a new one on social media, marketing will keep your business alive. #freelancefriends

Wow, so many familiar faces! Hi, everyone! #freelancefriends

A1: #freelancefriends Tenacity. You need the drive and a smidgen of confidence to push yourself in the right direction. Also, a protective streak. You are protecting your business every day.

Hi #freelancefriends! Happy to see some familiar faces and meet new folks! I'm a freelance business writer from Valley Forge. Currently transitioning to retirement and writing what I want!

#freelancewriting With so many writers losing their 9-to-5s, now's a good time for a primer on building a better freelance writing career. shorturl.at/EtVot

Had a woman argue vehemently with me that she can "write about anything." Only trouble was that she used the most basic facts in my industry to show how she could rock it. Um... What do you think? Can you write about anything? In what context would that be true for you? #Freelancewriting

Ever get caught in the call-about-the-last-call loop of hell? I talked with a network contact recently on what I can only describe as the most unnecessary team call ever. Calls should solve issues, not add to the pile, right? #marketing #timemanagement

I love interacting with #authors across format and genre. I'm so excited to become mutuals with so many #playwrights in the past few days. It's been a long time since I had a bunch of other playwrights with whom to natter. I spent the bulk of my career so far in theatre. #WritingCommunity #Theatre
