[Linkage] J is for Job
Note: My A-Z theme is linkage. Every day (at 7:00 a.m. EST), I'm going to list three helpful industry links per letter, and then I'll ask for suggestions in the comments—that way, we can pool our resources! :)

I probably fall short on those seven habits.
Great links, sister!
I have always been a fan of goal setting.
Thanks for sharing the links!
I wanted to let you know that I tagged you for the Liebster Award here:http://tinyurl.com/3wbj8ll Hope you join the fun! :)
Not my best topic. I'm just trying to get a publishable book written. LOL (*marketing-genius-Carrie cringes* :P)
I guess my only tip is to enjoy the heck out of whatever process you have. I look at writing as my way to treat myself and see just how well I can set my story into motion.
I wish writing could be my main job, but I'm fewer than 7 years from retirement. Ugh
I'm falling short on every habit. I need to be more organized!!!
I think we all do. My problem is balance...
Thanks, sister! :D
I'll be checking these links out. Again, thank you!
Great links! It does help to treat writing like a job. It really is one, albeit unpaid for me right now, but then my volunteer work is unpaid and any good volunteer treats that type of work professionally.
I amaze myself by my dedication sometimes. Other times, I so lazy it's unimaginable. Like today, for instance. Stayed up too late last night watching Netflix. Bad.
Your post... good!
I'm bookmarking these for sure...Especially the first, on scheduling
Me too. :)
Sweet! Thank you, Yelena. :D
Pfft! I may be organized, but I'm terrible with structured schedules. I end up spinning around in my chair going, "ADD, ADD, ADD..."
That's a great way to look at it, Lee! :)
So close, Donna! You can make it. :D
Don't make me come over to WV and have an intervention! ;)
No problem, Mark! :)
Exactly! We should take pride in all work we do, not just the paid variety. :)
*Grins* Well, as long as it was a good show and/or movie...
Thanks, Joylene!
I'm glad to hear that, David! :)
Turning up every day is the key trick! You need consistency.
Susan Kaye Quinn has written great work. Definitely checking her post. Thanks for the links.
I agree. Consistency is the key to most things. :)
Yeah! No problem, Sheena-kay. :)
I've been slacking off a lot recently, so these links are the motivation I need to get myself re-focused.
Me too! :)
