Take an interest, whether it is child care, money management, hot rod restoration, or wild game butchering and turn it into a freelance writing business. This is not like 8^th grade English composition class. Selling ideas and writing articles for web-based and print magazines, trades, and specialty newspapers is a highly charged free fall into developing writing skills, honing ability to project plan and best of all getting paid. It is also a journey rife with heartbreak, crushing disappointment, and needless despair. So where do I sign? Bring a fresh notebook, sharp pencil and an open mind. Leave your doubts and your Strunk and White’s at home.
