    ! Ever wondered about the best way to legally protect your work? With the new Supreme Court decision, we know about as much as we're going to, and it's time to get serious. I am offering a simple flat-fee consultation on the subject. DM are open or email me.

    If you're starting a new company and you know the trademarks you plan to use, it's often better to form the entity before you apply to register the trademarks. Apply on behalf of the company instead of yourself.

  3. Are you a person who makes money being creative? Can you handle a few random curse words? (I can't imagine anyone saying 'yes" to the first one and 'no' to the second, but just in case.) You should watch this video.

  4. In any other business (well, almost any) I'd just pitch the thing, but if I generate an invoice for a client, I am ethically required to provide them a copy. So I do, with a cover letter that congratulates them on how shrewd they are to get a lawyer to send them bills for $0.

  5. If you're wondering, I enter ALL my time, including courtesy time, and it accumulates as unbilled time, and my system nags me about it until it gets billed, so if the client goes too long without any (actual) billed time, I send them a zero balance invoice to clear out the time.

  6. Doing the billing (normally do it on the first but it's a weekend, nobody's going to look at it until Monday anyway.) Sending several invoices for zero dollars. There's a perfectly good reason for it, but it still feels like something out of a Douglas Adams novel.

    Today’s date is a rare eight-digit palindrome (reads the same, forward and backward), 02/02/2020 — the only one of its kind this century: The previous eight-digit palindrome like this was 11/11/1111, 909 years ago. We’ll only have to wait another 101 years for 12/12/2121.

  8. that last one is a stretch but it’s supposed to be a joke about sofa wolves

    Also, worth noting that Mary Higgins Clark who was literally called "the Queen of Suspense" and has sold millions and millions of copies did not publish her first novel until she was 48. It is never too late to eventually end up Running This Shit.

  12. I have at least 2 clients who half the time I literally have no idea where on Earth they are when I talk to them, I mean, again literally, they could be almost anywhere on the globe, except I guarantee you it's very unlikely they're close enough to ME to care about office space.

  13. And this is why I just laugh when people ask me why I don't have a formal office and just rent space when I need it.

  14. ... so I guess I should a) feel good about doing it early and b) be grateful that they're 14 hours ahead of me so this counts as *nearly* "first thing Monday"

  15. In related news, I told myself, "I *need* to get this document in front of the client first thing Monday morning, they're waiting," and then I remembered that in their country, Sunday is Monday (because Friday and Saturday are the "weekend") and they're 14 hours ahead of me...

  16. Kidding. Enthusiasm is always nice. But *I* reserve the right to go to bed unless it's an emergency, in which case don't be surprised to see "Expenses: 2L Coca Cola, 1ea" on your invoice.

  17. It may not be very professional but I totally reserve the right to tell clients who keep messaging me to GO TO BED ALREADY.

    Wonderful true story of a constitutional amendment from someone using her voice to speak truth with intelligence, humor, and love. Thank you Charlotte.

    I'm starting a thread of drafting tips! This might help no one but me, but I need all the help I can get, so I'm gonna come back to this every time I feel like I'm being smothered by existential dread. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
