Apparently posting about how I am amazing and want a job writing was all that was standing between me and a gig.
I got a second job.
Actually I got quite a few jobs, including a two month contract, WRITING!
Oh yes, I am getting PAID TO WRITE! I am writer again!
Just thought I would share the news!
I am stoked!
Happy Dance!

I posted a cover letter on my blog. Then Carla emailed me a bunch of local magazines and papers who would take freelance writers. So I emailed them all my cover letter and some clips.
One of the the magazine’s Editor’s contacted me, but then a few days later emailed and said she was leaving the company and if I had any questions to contact the Publisher who would be acting as editor. So I emailed the publisher and he said the editor was supposed to cover a new bar opening in Minneapolis and gave me the job and the number of the owner do set up an interview.
Another paper asked me to do another interview.
Then my friend Janelle, who also saw my post, emailed me a job she saw on craigslist for someone to write reviews on hotspots in the Twin Cities. I sent my resume, my cover letter, and some clips, and they contacted me and asked me to send them three sample reviews. I did and then they offered me a two month, 15 hour a week job writing reviews for the Twin Cities.
Adam was making fun of me because I am so the girl who goes “I think i will go out on a date” and then men give me their numbers. Now I am also the girl who says “I think I will freelance” and then I get jobs.
The end.
