I've finally decided to change that. I briefly mentioned it last week and a couple of weeks back on twitter, but I am now writing freelance. It's actually for the company that offered me a job last month that I ultimately turned down because it didn't pay enough. It's not a ton, just a couple of posts a month on the company blog, but it is being paid to write again. One of the main reasons I don't love my job is because I don't get to write, like not even an email, and this allows me to do that. Hopefully I can use this experience to get more free lance writing positions to either add some additional income and experience until I find a full time job I'll love in a fun new city or maybe I'll be able to get enough of these that I can free lance full time.
So while this new venture doesn't totally solve my problem, it is a step in the right direction. And sometimes a step in the right direction is all you need.

I'm so proud of you, girl! Trust me, I know first hand that it's NOT easy to take a risk that will benefit you in the long run, but I really do think that it is worth it. <3
ReplyDeleteSometimes it just takes a little longer than we'd like to... I'm glad you're taking the initiative to take a step in the right direction!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just need to take baby steps, and there's nothing wrong with that!
