Papa’s got a brand new bag..

So, several weeks ago I put out some feelers to see if I could extend my random musings into a paying gig. No, not with advertising here, though I suppose that’s a viable option. Nah, who wants to sell out this early in the game, well, unless they offered me oodles of money. Rather, I used my trusty Google capabilities and found several online and offline publications that were looking for writers. Funnily enough, to be a freelance writer for offline magazines you have to first have a portfolio of experience, sigh, how I hate catch-22’s. Still, the wonderful world wide web is not always so picky, so long story short I’ve heard back from two of them, one is still considering (whether my random ways fit their publication no doubt), the other picked me up and now, hmm, I have even less time in my day.

Isn’t life grand, you get what you want and sometimes have that “why did I want this” moment, especially if I’m picked up by several more sites. Nevertheless, I do enjoy writing and it IS truly something I want, so, woohoo! One step closer to possibly someday writing my own column and a bit of pay along the way never hurts. Life is grand.

♦ Does God tweet?, and to Digg it.
♦ Haiti: our neighbor in the midst of hardship

That is all.
