Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

I'm trying to get something in writing/editing that will allow me to get more writing experience. It seems like it shouldn't be so difficult to find, because many of the editing jobs here are changing to include writing duties. However, I'm at that lovely stage where I don't have enough writing experience to get the job but can't get enough writing experience without the job.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 9)

Put up a couple of diaries and point them at ET.

I got my first writing job with volunteer samples from a microzine with a readership which barely squeezed into double figures.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

I've thought about that (at least a LQD). I am getting pissed off enough by people who make $70,000 and complain they have to buy cheap, store-brand bread to rant for at least a couple of paragraphs.

The way things have been going, I suppose I could also write about how NOT to run a freelancing business. ;)
