Working Writer
2008 May 31
I’ve called myself a working writer before, but that’s because I work at a full time job and write on the side. But now, I can call myself a working writer — someone who gets financially rewarded for writing. I’ve been hired for my very first paying freelance job! A good friend of mine from college hooked me up with a gig and I get to work at it over the summer. It’s perfect timing, because my job slows down in the summer (due to the students being done with school), so I’ll have energy to devote to other work. I am really excited to try something new, and of course, get paid for it. If it works out, I may try to actively seek out more freelancing later. Woo-hoo!

Very inspiring. I resigned from my day job over a year ago and have been a freelance writer since then. Now I work at home and more or less own my time. Indeed, it’s great being a writer!
Excellent! The timing seems perfect too!
(Hee hee, I love the category you assigned for this post).
Congrats!! !!
