Goodbye October, Hello November

It’s time to say goodbye to October and hello to November! My how time flies. One of my past co-workers shot me an email, giving me an update on his life. Since I left the corporate world about three months ago, he happily received a promotion. That got me thinking-what have I been up to since then?

Let’s see:

1. My “Bringing Spirit to the Spirit of Japantown Festival” made it to the front page of local newspaper NikkeiWest.
2. Three articles were published on everything from tea to green building in eco-friendly magazine Eucalyptus. (See Magazine samples for articles.)
3. Interviewed everyone from author Jordan Rosenfeld to Olympic winner Bonnie St. John on 2inspired.
4. Created new blogs like this one.
5. Featured a guest post by The Old Painted Cottage Blogger Jennifer Grey.
6. Reached 4,642 total views on Not2shabby with a fourth of those views from October alone. Guess October was a popular month.
7. We hit 80 views for Not2shabby on October 12th.
8. 2inspired has a total of 1,822 total views with the highest views seen in the past few weeks of October. Yay!
9. I created my 1st video on Not2shabby on Halloween pumpkin crafts.
10. I’ve posted a total of 125 posts with 76 comments from you on 2inspired.
11. Not2shabby’s got 126 posts and 130 comments. Most popular by far!
12. I’ve networked with other writers via social media and in person.
13. Happily added 3 more clients to my list.
14. I’ve reupholstered a chair, created my own Halloween costume and came up with inexpensive, DIY crafts under 20 minutes.

Overall, not a bad three months! What about you? What have you accomplished thus far as a freelance writer?
