beginnings
how I got started | I had a blog on journalspace.com (a site that
doesn't exist anymore) called "The Meanest Girl On Earth" It was really
silly and I didn't take it too seriously, but I wrote everyday,
sometimes several times a day. My friend forwarded the link to my blog
to an editor at aol.com and she asked me to write a few articles. I've
been writing for her and other sites ever since.
inspiration
why this job?| I started my first diary when I was literally 6
years old and I've been writing ever since. I'm passionate about
writing. I love it. I would write everyday, weather I got paid to do it
or not. I write because I have to. It's in my soul.
love
why I love this job!| I love writing. I love going to coffee
shops and diners and just sitting and writing and looking at people and
listening to their conversations. I find a lot of inspiration in the
mundane.
work
my typical day| I get up around 7am and watch Good Morning
America and CNN and make coffee, check Facebook and Twitter, and write.
Then I basically repeat those actions obsessively until the sun goes
down.
challenges
what they are | It doesn't pay a lot and you have to really
hustle to get as many writing gigs as you can to make ends meet. If you
have a better idea, let me know.
upside
all about growth | I'm not sure what the growth is other than I
want to write more and more and get paid to write. I haven't figured it
out yet. If you have advice I'd love to hear it.
