Over the next few weeks I’ll be writing a series of mini-blog-posts (in no particular order) on what has, and hasn’t, worked for me over the last four years of being a freelance nature writer.

#1 Mondays are Money Days. One measure of success for me is whether I can make a living from nature writing and related activities, so it’s seems absolute right to focus on income generation on the first day of every week. This can mean a whole load of different things, from pitching feature ideas, to chasing invoices, to creative thinking about finding new sources of income, and so much more. This is my business after all.
