The Tide Turns

Finally, after close to 3 months in business, the $ is starting to come in. It's not a lot, but that's not the point. It's the fact that people are actually paying me to write (something I love to do) that's worth celebrating.

I received $400 for 2 brochures which were outsourced to me by a phenomenally busy fellow writer; $30 for copyediting a company's mission/vision statement; $165 for a 1,000+ word article for a magazine.

Also in the pipeline: $250 for writing a CEO profile and corporate profile for a company.

More exciting news: I wrote my first book!! I don't know many things more worthy of being shouted from the rooftops. Do you? :)

Based on the agreement with the publishers, I should get 20% of sales plus spin-offs in the form of speaking engagements; the audiences will be secured by the publishers. All I need to do is literally stand and deliver.
