Photo Of The Day
I made pancakes for breakfast a few days ago and this is what it looked like after being cut then having syrup added. The picture makes it look burnt and it actually wasn’t. They came out yummy ‘n fluffy. I’ll have to make some for breakfast this weekend.
A Little Break
I am taking a break from work right now. I still have my fair share of work to get done but I am having a hard time concentrating between Monkey asking me about something every 2 minutes and things on my mind. My head wants to explode!
Okay, so what is on my mind…?
The first would be my email to American Chronicle applying to be a contributor with them.
Yeah, it is an unpaid position. I’m not applying for more work, I am applying because I am interested in contributing articles that I will retain my rights to and offer a link back to my website. Those are just 2 of the things I liked about applying for a position. They have a series of websites these articles go on. They get picked up by news sites such as Google News. The potential for exposure spreads out pretty far and I like that idea.
If accepted I fully intend to have it link to Write To Press. After all, I am a freelance writer and by contributing articles I am hoping to pick up interest in my services. I am especially hoping to bring in people interested in having me write press releases for them.
So why am I so nervous?
Anytime I put myself out there by sending one of my personal articles as an example, as I did when I sent my email, it makes me nervous. More so now because it has been a little bit since I sent it and I can’t resist staring at Windows Mail waiting for that one email that would let me know whether or not I made it as a contributor.
Another bonus is that I would be able to use the articles published to show potential clients. What is a better motivator than to realize the person you intend to hire to write for you has been published by an online network of magazines.
I am much more stressed about this opportunity than the average person should be. I can’t help it! It’s how I am. It just feels like that extra boost I need to help get my career going.
My sole income is from working for myself. Right now 99% of my work is for Dane. As much as I love working for him I am interested in receiving clients interested in my press release services. I would like to expand and this might be my chance to do so.
I guess you could say it’s stupid of me to worry about something like this, but I don’t think so.
Time Sure Flies…
… when I am ranting, then realizing I need to change something on another website, then come back to finish the rant.
I forgot to edit Write To Press earlier. I am offering press release submission services now and needed to edit my services page accordingly. In the process I have been on break for almost an hour.
I am going to go ahead and get back to my tasks for the day. Have a great Thursday everyone!
