Open up the dictionary to "freelance" and you'll notice that one definition is "a medieval solder who sold his services to any state or military leader."
In other words, a mercenary. Like me. Writer for hire, with sharpened pencil standing in for the lance.
I've just had my first freelance copywriting assignment published, a story of approximately 2,000 words on trends in kitchen and bath design. If you want to see it, head for Central Market or a Barnes & Noble in Fort Worth and buy a copy of 360 West magazine. Turn to page 73 for The Kitchen & Bath Guide.
Or, just visit this handy link to a digital copy of the September issue of the entire magazine, which is celebrating its biggest issue ever.
The best part of the experience was working with some former colleagues from the publishing industry who now work to put together this exceptional magazine every month.
It's beneficial to have a fresh writing credit, as I forge the new direction of my post-layoff career.
