Good news and bad

Jan 30, 2012 22:23

The good news: I found a really good site for freelance writers, and I even got a small job already. It won't be much money, but it's fun and it's a start. And it's income, which I've been short on. God bless wendymr, though; she's been working with me on my resume, and I have high hopes I'll at least be able to find temp work soon ( Read more... )

Glad to hear your dad's improving :)

Congratulations on the writing gig! That's excellent news! Even if it's not a lot of money, it's worth a huge amount on the morale side :) I hope more comes along there soon, and that other work will follow :)

Good to see some really positive news about your dad, too :)

Sounds like congrats are due on multiple fronts. Glad to hear things are going well. All I can about your workout it is I would live in terror at the idea of having to try even one of them. It's obvious you could literally run circles around me in the gym, nonetheless I am very proud of your accomplishments and I know how hard it can be to keep up a regimen that demanding.

Freelance writing? Doing what? And I heard your mom mention taking you to teach ESL? Is that volunteer? Or is that a step toward doing what you want to do?

I found a site that posts jobs for freelance writers. The jobs don't pay much individually, but they add up if you keep getting them. I'm currently writing a short pamphlet on college admissions.

The ESL gig is volunteer work. I'm hoping it's a step closer to doing it professionally. What with Dad's illness, I dropped the ball on applying to grad school, but I might be able to get in for spring semester.

Glad to hear your dad's doing better and congrats on the writing gig! Would you mind sharing the link? I've been trying to find extra freelance writing work lately, and new avenues are always good.

Sure! I found them via Craigslist:

Jobs come in and go out very fast, so be prepared to check in numerous times a day. If you can catch one, though, you can start building clients.
