As 2016 comes to a close, the American Society of Journalists and Authors wishes its members a safe and happy holiday season. To allow our staff to spend time with friends and family during the holidays, The ASJA Weekly will contain limited new content until the new year.
We will resume regular publications on Friday, Jan. 6.

So you’re on the phone with a prospective client, and she asks a fantastic question that you know would make a great post for your company’s blog. You jot down the idea and spend eight hours over the next week outlining, writing, editing and polishing this great article.

While most of you guys are in front of your desk for a 9-to-5 job, only managing to squeeze in an hour or less of lunch, I spend my mornings doing house errands and even baking some banana muffins.
