I'm sitting outside in the cold at Starbucks browsing the net right now. I find that I am more likely to get stuff done if I leave my area of comfort and where there are soooo many distractions to be found!

I've been spending a lot of time haunting craigslist, emailing potential clients, contacting people I've worked with in the past and reading lots and lots of blogs!

The last month was a tight one for me. I didn't work all that much, and part of that was due to my lack of networking and pushing myself to find other work.

This has brought to my attention just how important it is not to rest on your laurels. I am confident that I will be able to make things work, but whew! It's been difficult.

I read a lot of blogs hosted by other photographers and people who are passionate about creativity. Some of these I found through searching different blog sites for photography related information, through twitter.com There are so many brilliant posts to twitter that if I didn't limit my time reading blogs, I'd be doing it all day long!

I'm currently working on my business marketing plan. I've been at a loss as to how to go about it, but a blog by http://rising.blackstar.com/ has been posting extremely informative blogs on how to go about it with terrific examples.

Another brilliant blog I've been following both on twitter and through my RSS is http://www.petapixel.com/

I'll post more on my information sources soon, as well as what else I'm up to, and how my marketing plan is coming along.

In the meantime, you should definitely check out my website www.SarynChristina.com I've been working on it a little.

And follow me on Twitter! http://twitter.com/SarynAngel
