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
Asides
- Wear A Hoodie, Get Removed From House Floor
March 28, 2012 | 1:29 pmApparently, a Black man can’t wear a hoodie in Congress either. At least he didn’t get shot.
- No John Edwards Sex Tape
February 24, 2012 | 10:57 amThank goodness! The John Edwards sex tape — the one he made with his mistress and campaign videographer — will suffer the same fate as Edwards’ political career. It will be destroyed. Let’s hope no copies were made, and that one less of these things will be making the rounds online.
- Whitney Traffic
February 15, 2012 | 2:07 pmWeird. I haven’t posted anything about Whitney Houston’s death. I have an unfinished post that may go up soon, but that’s it. Still, I just peeked at my stats and discovered this 2008 post about Whitney House and Amy Winehouse got over 2,000 visits this weekend.
- Two CPAC Disappointments
February 10, 2012 | 5:00 amI came away from CPAC a little disappointed yesterday, for two reasons:
- I missed the dating seminar, which would have been entertaining, if nothing else.
- With GOProud gone, I couldn’t find any gay people to hang out with — even gay right-wingers would have been bright spot.
On the up side, it looks like I may be partying with gay, Republican presidential candidate Fred Karger tonight.
- 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?

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!
