This blog really was made for you and me. I swear.
My first week of being a freelance writer is drawing to a close and this is what I have learned: [Please wait 6-8 weeks to hear what I have learned]. That's it. Nothing is quick in this business.
Lot's of waiting, lots of standing around. I wanted to see one of those messenger kids on a bike come pedaling up to my house like Kevin Bacon in Quicksilver, all out of breath like, "Website....got your article....lots of money.... come quick!!"
Whatever happened to those guys? You don't see them much anymore, I guess their job was replaced by email. A bicycle messenger can't be expected to compete with an instant messenger. It's a shame too, because you never hear about them. Everyone always wants to talk about snail mail and how the USPS is going under. No one cares about Kevin Bacon. Poor Kevin Bacon.
