Pitch Perfect: Nailing a Three Minute Chat!
Way back in post one of this series—we’re on post three now, if you’ve lost count—I said that my end goal was to take at least one, though currently considering one full-length feature film, and two TV series, to the London Scriptwriters Festival (LSF) next April. To be able to do that, I need a full script, but more importantly at this stage, I need a log line and a fully-fledged pitch. Those two must be absolutely perfect, even if the script itself is a bit raggedy.

Tips for Ride-Share Passengers
I'm a ride-share driver. Four years ago, this gig was lucrative for drivers. Now? Not so much. Both Uber and Lyft claim they take no more than 25% of the total fair the rider is charged. This isn't always true. Many times, they take upwards of more than 40% of the fee the rider pays. We put thousands of miles on our vehicles yearly and beat them up all in the name of providing a service to the community.

Is Medium Worth Using
Medium is a bunch of crap. You can’t get anyone who doesn’t already follow you to read your work. You can only get paid if the curators decide your stuff is worth selling. No one ever goes to Medium to find new articles or writers. I have never received a search engine result, which led me to an article from Medium.

How to Make Your Business Site Look Professional
Every business should have a website. As far as having a personal website, it is less important but can still be valuable for letting others know about you, and can even be helpful for potential employers when trying to find out about you. Most companies that are successful have a website. Without a website, a business is only as successful as the local influence it has. If you have a professional website, visitors will trust you more than if you one that looks unprofessional and haphazard. Websites can say a lot about you and or your company.

How to Pace Yourself in the Arts and How Deal with Rejection
STAY ACTIVE When you work freelance for a prolonged period of time, it is easy to pick up bad habits. You can munch when you want to and you don't have to wear pants. There is a kind of upkeep that happens when you go out daily to work that you don't have when you work at home, and it is easy to let yourself go. But this is actually less productive than being healthy.
