Just had to do the unthinkable: send an email to collegues begging for work this winter.

Wince.

This is the one true disadvantage of living in Olympia: there is a huge dearth of editing/writing jobs here. After learning that Lotus will only be paying half as much a month for the Reader’s Write issue, and that Amazon won’t have nearly as much work for me either, I find myself quite nervous.

I’ve hooked many of my friends up with jobs in both Seattle and SF, and now I guess I just have to trust that that will come back to me. Soon. Before I have to stop eating. So, out went the email to friends at Amazon, Real, Creative Assets, The Write Stuff, begging for work. I hate begging. Hate it. But if it means I can pay rent, I’ll do it.

And as much as I hate begging, at least it’s better than working a job I hate.

….er, I think. At least a job I hated would pay regularly.
