My Writing So Far

So I've been a freelance writer now for 4 months. It hasn't been easy, and the pay has...well, it sucks, but I'm really starting to think I'm making some headway. I say that because I recently accumulated enough jobs to create a writing resume. I guess I could've made a resume before, but it would've had a lot of white text.

Here's my accomplishments in the last 4 months, and how I able to landed them.


6rounds: This was a huge moment opportunity for me. It was my first professional writing job. It was the first time I got paid for writing. For anyone in any arts, your first paying gig is the most important one there is, no matter what the pay or the exposure.

DebbieHartzman.com: I landed this job shortly after 6rounds. Once you get the experience, the other jobs start coming. Thankfully, this allowed me to start supporting myself financially without flipping burgers. I had to learn more about web design and financial planning than I imagined, but it was well worth it.


Thiszine.com: An up and coming literary magazine that recently accepted one of my creative short stories. No pay, unfortunately, but it's nice for someone to go "This is good enough to attach our name too."

So...that was the first four months. I hoping the next eight will bring even more opportunities.
