In my opinion, the writing should be directed at creating an information product and/or e-Course series (refer KC's posts on the "Million Dollar Napkin") rather than as an end in itself ...

... unless you want your profession to be 'writer' rather than 'entrepreneur'.

Of course, Debbie is the rare exception who has managed to combine the two! :)

Ahh, thanks KC. I agree that if you've lost your job and have an entrepreneurial spirit it's like a blessing in disguise- but know that not everyone is a writer or would want to be.

Of course.. for those that do...

Your modesty prevented you from adding an eighth tip to the seven mentioned in that article. It should say:

"8) Consider working for yourself. One avenue to consider is being sub-contracted to write, and there's no better place to begin that journey than at Debbie Dragon's website at

At the very least, subscribe to her very helpful e-mails."

I'm not trying to make a joke - it would be very sound, sensible advice, as the 7 tips concentrate on trying to get back into the jobs market, when maybe, in a contracting economy, with thousands chasing the same few jobs, it might be an excellent time to use the misfortune of job loss to take a new, and maybe more lucrative, direction.

Just my 2 cents worth. You're doing a good job - thanks for being there.

The first sentence is an often published quote by Anon. that famous writer of quotes ... funny, I've never seen a picture of her! Very nice passage, though ....
