As you may know, my show will be changing gears — from Better Blogging to Better Freelancing.
In other words, we’ll be chatting about the best practices of successful freelancers… and you would definitely qualify for a re-appearance. 😉

Keep up the great (and prolific!) work in 2016!
Thanks, Matt. It was a busy year, for sure.

Sharon:
For some reason, I’m just now seeing this “wow” and “oh my goodness” roundup of some of your work. No wonder, you’re my hero! (and thanks sharing queen, Melanie:)
I do love your work, as you know (cited you more than once) but, I can’t tell you how impressive this body of work looks to those, like me, who aspire to write well and more.
I better get moving! That’s all there is to it. You are a superstar, Sharon.
P.S. Thanks for all you do and all the valuable information you share with readers. Better bookmark this…
You’re making me blush, Sue. 🙂 Thanks.
