Who let the Blogs out?

I still haven't figured out what the deal is with spacing on this thing. Sometimes it's single, sometimes it's 1.5. You never know. I just roll the dice and hope for the best. As for the color change, meh. You figure it out.

So it turns out being a freelance writer is kind of boring. When you start out you can write a bit to submit stuff and hope for the best but what you really want is an assignment so you know you will get paid if you write it rather than groveling. Regardless, whether you apply for an assignment job or submit a piece unsolicited you are going to be waiting around for a response for a while. No response = No motivation. Even a rejection would be nice. I'd be all like, "Oh, you want to reject me? I'll show you. I'll write an even better piece and submit it to someone else so they profit from my brilliance, how would you like that?!" But with all this waiting I don't even know. Everything might get accepted and I'll make bank and go on vacation for the rest of the month, or everything might be rejected and I'll make nothing and go to the shelter for the rest of the month, it's just too soon to say. For now, I guess I'll go back to work on my latest submission, which if accepted, will score me a free t-shirt in addition to my very own by-line!
Now if I could just find a job that paid me in pants I'd be all set.

By the way, I have also made a grand total of 19 cents so far from my articles on Helium.com, so I'm not a complete failure. The wheels are in motion, baby, and the money train is coming to my town. Will you be on board?
