Things have been extremely crazy this week, but as things are settling out (albeit in a much stranger way than I thought) I'll be able to update more often and get up some posts that I'm passionate about. The fear with freelancing is very real and while I love the many benefits of being a freelance writer, the uncertainty can be very hard to overcome. It's really good that you already have some writing skills to fall back on. If you don't have a "writer's resume," definitely look at putting one together. The grant writing specifically could be very lucrative, and the resume writing is good to advertise, especially in a college town. Over the next couple weeks I'll brain storm and see if I can come up with a blog post on freelance writing that directly addresses some of the things you brought up in your comment.<br /><br />And many thanks for the service you've put in to your country with military service. Always an honor to be talking with a service person.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Master DMaster Daytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12474000076679558912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832086699025401540.post-76769784955940482152009-06-09T12:53:04.163-05:002009-06-09T12:53:04.163-05:00Master D!

I have questions and fears to face about becoming a Freelance Writer and I'm hoping you'll be my guide sort of. I am in the military about to transition home to chase my dream of writing again. Looking for some guidance through Google I found your site, the information you've written is invaluable. However, given that I do have some resume writing, grant writing, document review/editing experience and other writing experience (non-article types)I need to know how to evaluate the writing skills I do have and translate them into a new career and fast! <br /><br />Just the thought of re-creating the dream job you described in Austin, TX, the freedom and diversity of projects forced me to write before you move. I'm hoping to connect before you move. I hoping you will be able to help me to re-create myself. Thanks so much!
