I have been picked up as a part time free lancer. It’s not a lot of money, but I don’t spend a lot. One of the few silver linings in going through what I’ve gone through over the past few years is you learn to live cheap. The new gig, together with existing work, means I should have enough to get by. It’s work I’ve done in the past and the best part is it’s fun! It’s work I genuinely love to do. The big difference being it’s regular now, and I have some of what I guess you could call creative direction, much like I have here. My exec editor is giving me a lot of latitude in what topics and projects I take on, how it shake hands with the blogosphere and social media, and I’m just really looking forward to it. It’ll ramp up in January and I’ll be rocking and rolling by February.
It won’t interfere with FTB, in fact I’ll be able to write my brains out here. If it was not for you sweet, sweet skeptical guys and gals stuffing bills in my virtual stocking last month, my Internet might have been turned off. Thank you all so much, you made Christmas 2014 very special for me! And you made this New Year the first one I’ve looked forward with any kind of hope and excitement in a long, long time.
Congrats!!
Thanks. I am So. Fucking. Relieved.
Enjoy! I know that you love to write, and if the writing is coupled with using the computer, you are doubly happy.
I hope that this opens doors for you to even better jobs.
Freelance. Congrats.
Maybe you can write an article debunking the claim that two whales were released in the Great Salt Lake in 1875.
Excellent!
Keep on blogin’.
So happy to finally hear good news!! The best of all is that it’s something you love to do, and not just another daily grind to pay bills. Alright!
I’m seeing a lot more of your posts on the front page at Daily Kos…
