I know it’s been a hectic week when I check my Google Reader on a Friday morning and realize that I didn’t post today’s Cognitive Connection! Like many of my fellow freelancers, I found business drastically picking up just as children starting filling their backpacks with new school supplies. I’m creatively energized by several of my new projects—and I’m appreciating my free time on the weekends more than ever.
The links here should give you plenty of reading options for your weekend. Have a great one!
- Betsy Lerner. The One That Got Away
- FreelanceSwitch How to Decide What to Include in Your Portfolio
- New York Press Flavor of the Week: Lincoln Tunnel of Love. Don’t miss this great personal essay by fellow freelance writer Steph Auteri. Steph is a familiar name here because I’ve linked to some of her Freelancedom blog posts.
- Top 10 Blogs for Writers 2009 Announced. The honorees include some of my favorite blogs, including Urban Muse, Word Count, Quips and Tips for Successful Writers and Copyblogger. Be sure to check out the full list—you may find a new favorite (or two).
Did you read anything that particularly stuck with you this week? Share, please! The floor is yours.

Hey Steph, your essay is great storytelling. Of course I’d pick it! 🙂 Betsy Lerner’s blog should come with a warning: it’s highly addictive!
I love that you’ve randomly included my essay. 🙂 Thanks so much for the link love! And o.m.g. I can’t believe I didn’t know about Betsy Lerner’s blog. I loved The Forest for the Trees!
