Bark & BiteThe Yin Yang of Freelancing You can set your own hours…just so they are seven days a week. You get lots of exercise going to the mailbox…to look for checks that aren't there. Your mind-reading skills will blossom…figuring out what your clients want. You learn to live the simple life…endlessly examined. You know the IRS phone number…by heart. Your personal banker knows you…by name.

true stories by j true  THE SCRIBBLES STORYOne day, we were commiserating via work-avoiding emails about the state of the freelance design and writing business and decided this puppy needed to lighten up. The demeaning pittances offered on Craigs, the profane rejoinders when one pointed out to a lister the error of his or her cheesy ways, the lag times in payment from people who were getting a corporate check every two weeks like clockwork, the nits, the picks, the unanswered queries....We were getting a tad discouraged. Then, Scribbles came into our lives. Our faithful canine companion, our protector, our invoice collector, our unconditionally loving pal. We love dogs. We believe the outside of a dog is good for the inside of a person. Wouldn't other writers, designers and sensitive creatives also like to adopt Scribbles? And thus...Writer's Catablog was born. Now that we've created it, how can we change it? You know how fertile brains work. In the words of Tim, the Tool Man Taylor, "If it's not broke, you can still fix it."
