Office Basics and Getting Your Office Set Up
Now that you’re ready to start making money as a writer, you’ll need a place to be a writer. Here are three steps to get you started.
1. Start with a desk. Actually you need more than a desk — you also need a place to work. While a separate room is ideal, I’ve seen people turn dining rooms, basements and even a corner of a master bedroom into an office (yours truly started out of her bedroom).
Wherever you decide to set up shop, you need enough room for both a computer and paper files (background information, magazines, client files, etc.) Let yourself spread out.
Don’t forget to make room for a bookshelf and file cabinets. You’ll need both.
What you DON’T want to do is share that space with something else. Believe me, it’s a real drag to put together and tear down an office every day because you need the kitchen table for dinner. It drains your energy and will keep you from being as productive as you could be.
2. Stock up on office supplies. Make sure you purchase the basics in advance so you won’t have to go running to Staples when you’re under deadline (talk about stress).
Here’s a list to get you started:
- Paper (buy it in bulk — you’ll save money plus it will last you awhile)
- Pens
- Extra printer cartridges (very important, always have a couple on hand)
- Highlighters
- Staples and staplers (get a good stapler, you’ll thank yourself)
- File folders (don’t forget accordion file folders)
- Paper clips
- Post-it notes
3. Make sure your technology is working. Although being a writer is one of the less expensive businesses to set-up and maintain, there still are some things you really need to invest in. After all, you want to make it as easy as possible for your clients or editors to conduct business with you. If you don’t, there are many other writers who will. Some basic items to consider:
- Computer with Internet access. High-speed is best (again, you don’t want to be wasting time with dial-up).
- Fax machine. Yes, e-mail has taken over many of the functions of a fax machine, but if you do any copywriting, I guarantee you still need it. Fax machines have come down in price, you can get a pretty decent one for under $300. Make sure you get one that doubles as a copy machine — you don’t want to be running to a shop every time you need a copy.
- Dedicated fax line. A second phone line to hook up your fax doesn’t cost you that much and makes you look even more professional. Plus there will be times where you need that second line (or you need to receive and/or send a fax while on the phone).
- Voice mail on your primary line. No, not an answering machine. Get voice mail. That way, your clients, potential clients, editors, interviewees, etc. will never get a busy signal. Remember, you want to make it easy for people to do business with you.
On your computer, here are some basic software packages to look into:
- Word processing (You’ll find many of your clients use Microsoft Word, so that’s probably the one to invest in)
- Accounting software (QuickBooks and MYOB are two good ones)
- A client-tracking software package (like ACT!)
- Tracking software for submissions (I’ve used Excel with success, but there are other dedicated ones out there if that’s more your style)
- Other packages to make you more compatible with your clients (I’ve found Excel and PowerPoint to be helpful).
One final tip — it’s best to get your office organized BEFORE the work starts rolling in. It can be very stressful to balance work with getting your office in order.

Is the goat in this picture really dancing to the accordion?or is it doing something else?
Here is the link.
http://adeedwithoutaname.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/wtf_pics-dancing-goat.jpg
Cute picture. That is a young Nubian goat. Goats are VERY playful animals. They are as playful as puppies at the age that goat is in that picture.
Since it's wearing a t-shirt, I'd venture to guess that is a bottle raised goat, and therefor really attached to humans. In the picture it could be excited by the music and human activity, and jumping up playfully. It might also be trying to reach the leaves on the tree above it.
My goats spent hours balancing for a few seconds on their hind legs, until they ate all the lower branches/leaves on trees in a new pasture we turned them out into. They looked just like the goat in that picture, only there were about 30 of them, and they were not wearing t-shirts.
The goat's owner is probably off camera jumping and dancing about, and the goat is joining in on the fun. Bottle baby goats love it when humans dance, and think it's an invitation to run, leap and play.
