Will Write for Food
I’m getting tired of wanting to write, and needing to write, but not writing because writing is not my job. Anybody know anyone looking to hire a writer?

An Honor To Be Nominated

- Bah, Humbug. Here’s My iPhone 3G
November 29, 2011 | 12:18 pmOK. I plead guilty to this When I got my iPhone 4, I gave Parker my old iPhone 3G (with parental controls in place, phone service deactivated, everything restored to factory settings, history wiped clean, and internet access and the App Store on lockdown) to play games on, etc. But does that make me a “Scrooge”? Puh-leeze. An eight-year-old needs the latest iPhone?
- Feeling Bookish
September 9, 2011 | 12:04 pmIt’s happening again. I’m getting that “I’ve got a book in me, if I can make time to write it,” feeling. Of course, that “if” is the big, and the deciding, factor.
- There Is Too Such a Thing as Bisexuality
August 24, 2011 | 12:38 pmI was never one of those who claim “there’s no such thing as bisexuality.” I’ve known too many bisexuals to buy that the “don’t exist.” So, I’m not surprised that a study now indicates there is too such a thing as bisexuality. In men, that is.

- The POTUS To Tweet?
June 20, 2011 | 10:51 amIt’s not that I don’t trust the guy, and maybe the whole Weinergate thing has me a little gun shy, but am I the only who thinks Obama tweeting for himself may not be the best idea?

So, make it your job. Begin small with projects such as writing guest letters to the newspaper. If you have a company internal newsletter, offer to write for that. Volunteer for nonprofits that might need writing done.
You need to get yourself, your work, your name out there. People looking for writers aren’t going to come knocking on your door.
Grow up and get real. It’s a competitive world out there. And,
unfortunately, everyone thinks he/she is a writer. Or wants to be.
Ha ha. Trust me: Truly GOOD writers are born, not made. They are gifted, just as truly good artists in any genre are born. And even though getting a degree won’t make you a writer if you have no innate talent, in today’s world, you just about need one. Or else a lot of experience in your field…..
Good luck!
