Response to Holley Schmeck

After reading everyone's posts about freelance writing, it seemed like you could categorize them into four groups. Some people did not address the idea of actually performing freelance writing and stayed focused on what it involves. A few people were not considering freelance writing at all. There were people who did not normally think of themselves as writers, but were now considering the possibilities of freelance writing. Then there were the people who were excited about the opportunity to begin submitting their writing right away.

I was interested to see Holley is part of the last group. I mostly want to say, "Go for it!" I am not sure what it is you do or what you and your boss discussed as possible topics, but I envy your ambition. As my blog depicts, I am not considering freelance writing (or any kind of public writing). I have no desire to see my name in print...or experience rejection! I want to wish you luck, and I hope it is a fulfilling experience for you.
