100

Last night I had the chance to test for a freelance job.

So while my kids had their worst psychotic freak out in years I had to pound out 2000 words in an hour.

I did ok, and I have the job, at least to the tune of 12 articles tomorrow.

So that is a little bit of a burden off of my shoulders.  I just keep putting myself out there in the hope that someone one will pick me up at least on a semi permanent basis.  That has been difficult so far.  Even my best gig is for a month right now, and then they will see at the end of the month weather they want to renew that or not.  It is tense and scary, but I really want to do this for a living.  I've been saying it for a while and now is the time to do it.

On that note, I have accomplished something, at least in my own mind.  This is the 100th post here.  And for me that is kind of a big deal.  I took a break for a couple of other writing projects, but I keep coming back to this.  I keep writing here.  And for me that is a great step in the right direction.  I know that before I talked a lot of game about being a writer, but I was never really dedicated to being a writer in a real way.  In the way where I actually force myself to write everyday whether I want to or not.  This is one of those places where I know that I'm getting it done.  That makes me feel pretty good.

So with that said, I'm going to do some more writing today, and I know I have a job doing it tomorrow, and this is the 100th post.

That is a good thing.
