Many of you know that I spent a good chunk of my early twenties struggling to find a decent writing job. I’d just graduated from college (Uni for non-Stateside peeps) smack dab in the middle of that financial crisis we so gently called a ‘Recession’. I remember the exact moment that I realised I… Continue reading Why I Stopped Hating Freelance
As I stare at this pile of books (you’re only seeing a fraction), I have to repeat one mantra: You are doing this in the name of creative writing. Okay, sure. I’m aggrandising this a bit.
