Translation
*An interview with Corinne McKay – people who rock the industry
*A to-do list for translators by Konstantina at Wordyrama
*Thoughts on using ProZ in a guest post on Catherine Translates
Writing
*Less is more: pruning your copy by Clare Crossan at Word Play
Freelancing
*How do you make a clean break from work at the end of the week? Try this suggestion from writer Katie Anderson
*A guide to face-to-face networking for freelancers on Freelance Switch

Thanks for including a link to my little end of the week trick!
Looks like there are some other great links too – they’ll definitely give me something to do while avoiding the snow.
Thank you for posting these links, Megan! Lots of tips and food for thought.
I am snowed in at my parents’ in South Wales at the moment, but enjoying being nice and snug by a log fire
@Katie It was a pleasure to come across your blog (credit to Emma Cossey!). I’ve added it to my feed burner, so I’ll be checking back
@Bronwen That sounds lovely! We’re up in Herefordshire and staying with my parents, so I’m feeling much the same!
