		<description>[...] So if you&#8217;re facing a slow time right now with your work &#8211;a hard time &#8211;I want to encourage you to think of it as a time of incubation, not a time of stagnation. If you&#8217;ve been too busy to think and you&#8217;ve suddenly got time on your hands, try to think of it as a gift. Re-focus. Set new goals.  Remember: nothing good ever came from a place of panic. If you have a &#8220;passion project&#8221; you&#8217;ve been putting off, here&#8217;s your chance. It&#8217;s better than watching House re-runs on TiVo, (or at least watching more than one!). If your workspace isn&#8217;t what you&#8217;d like, take this time to reorganize. Evaluate yourself as a writer: where are you weak? Make a plan to improve. More great ideas from Diana here and from Monica here. [...]</description>

		<description>I wanted to thank you for such an inspirational post.  The economy seems to just be getting worse by the day.  Although, I found some trends on freelance writing jobs (http://www.odesk.com/trends/Tech%20Writer) that show a steady increase, so I found that quite uplifting.  Especially with all the layoffs and downsizing going on.  Who would have thought, we&#039;d be the ones thriving.  :-)</description>
