Wahoo!

Part of my master plan, which I call "Operation: Work for No Man," is to build up a profitable freelance copywriting business. So far, it's been going...poorly. I attribute the slow growth and anemic income to no advertising or networking of any kind. Fortunately, this is just a temporary tactic until I can kick it into high gear (in other words, until I pick a font I like.)

However, I did manage to connect with an old boss of mine who, truth be told, made my life a living hell at an old job. (Long story). Since we're both no longer with that organization, however, she seems to think I have some skills. I don't know why this should be since she hasn't seen anything I've written in the three years since we went our separate ways, but whatever.

She now runs a consulting company and needs people to write some proposals for her on the side. I just completed the first project with time to spare, and what's this, she thinks it's "really good." Honestly, I thought she'd just spike it and never talk to me again. (That's my inner critic speaking). So, there's $500 for a couple of hours worth of work. Not bad!
