New Freelance Job

[prosodic]

It took me well over an hour to do the first entry, since I had to play around with the database and figure out how it worked.

But by gosh...I think I've got it! I've been sitting here happily working away for nearly 2 hours. Reece finally got fed up with being shut out of the bedroom and scratched and cried at the door. I let her in and she's now lying on the bed next to me while I work. She's quite peaceful, so she's not bothering me at all.

Hello again, writing. I've missed you.

it took me a long time at the beginning too but now, I average about 20 mins/title. Once you get a hang of all the drop down menus and everything, it goes by quickly.

Yeah...the second title went much faster than the first.

Oooh...this is cool! I can do the maximum of 80 each week in under 40 hours. So it would be even less than full-time and I would make more per hour than I do now, if I can do 20 minutes a title like you do. How sweet would that be?

And it sounds like this is going to be long-term work. I was told there should be more work available in June.

oh yeah, this is definitely long-term. I started end of January and then they said about 6 months, but in the email I got recently about changes and pretty much begging for more writers, they seem to be a bit behind deadline so I imagine it might even go through the summer.

I hope for longer, since I plan to leave my job. I guess I should ask the editors how long they think this work is going to last.

Yay! I'm happy for you. I hope it continues to work out!

Is it something you can share? I'd love to read what you're writing!

[prosodic.livejournal.com]

I can't share this. I think the book database is private for now. Not sure if it'll be made public at some point or not.

I'm just writing short book summaries though...nothing terribly creative.

Yay!!
