Today I started looking for writing work in new ways. I’m abandoning Upwork (which I call Upchuck) and other freelance platforms for greener pastures, starting with LinkedIn and other avenues. The clients on the business platforms understand the value of good writers and are more amenable to paying what we’re worth, and I’m all for that.
This morning I threw my hat into the ring for six possible part-time jobs and even a fulltime job or two. We’ll see what comes of these efforts. All of them intrigue me, so getting one or more of them (if they’re part-time) would be terrific.
I need to get more revenue coming in. My SS and pension are barely enough to keep my head above water, and if the new administration does what it plans to do to SS and Medicare, I can’t even rely on what I have now as baselines, so I need to get something else going, or move to another country where the cost of living is less expensive.
Those are my choices, since I’m not JK Rowling (perish the thought!) or Stephen King and can’t rely on book sales (even though I have written seventeen of them!) for enough passive income to help much.
Wish me luck!
And please send book lovers my way, or buy additional copies of the books you’ve loved best in the list below and give them to another kindred spirit! I think the upcoming So Freaking Fortunate Gratitude Journal would be a welcome stocking stuffer or small gift. It should be out momentarily, if the spine is approved this time. (As soon as it goes live, I will create a link to it below in the placeholder.)
