Freelance Writing!

So I am one of those people who conveys the thoughts in their mind much clearer on paper than out of my mouth. When I stumbled upon freelance writing, it was like a match made in Heaven. I loved being able to write about topics that were right up my alley of interest, and be able to do it on my free time. And let’s be honest...when I say “free time”, I mean the times when my kids were otherwise occupied and not needing Mommy.

I eventually adopted a writing after they went to bed or writing before they woke up schedule and that worked great until they were school age and I could write during the day. Over the years I have migrated back to the “before they wake up” schedule.  The kids don’t need me as they did before, but I have found that early mornings are my most productive time.

So where do I find freelance opportunities and publications needing articles? I subscribe to a site called Writer’s Weekly. Not only does the site provide great info, hold writing contests for prizes, and offer  book publishing, they provide a free newsletter with paying markets that provides great links to the publications in need of articles.
