I love this work

I have an exciting new gig courtesy of the Writing Center at UNT. I get a lot of clients from them, students who want papers edited or occasionally written (not really, although with all the work it takes to edit them I might as well have written them). The latest student is a communication arts major, and she's good. This isn't an editing job, it is a job helping her with her ad campaign, coming up with headlines, maybe helping with some copy if it gets that far. I don't think she will need much help, her work is brilliant. She is probably just nervous and has a bit of writer's block due to the importance of this campaign. Her client is cool, too, an urban zen ikea kind of minimalist furniture store. I meet with her tomorrow night.

Should be fun.


addendum: it's all I thought it would be. :D

Alicia, I'm so pleased. There is nothing in the world like being paid for work that is also entertaining, satisfying and just plain fun. Can I get a "woo-hoo!" from the house? :) Do keep us posted.

Thanks, guys! It isn't going to be an extended job, but it does remind me there *is* work I love to do. That's important when you are feeling useless at a dead end job you ought to quit today but no one's around and you don't know how you would pay bills...

was that out loud? :)

Hey, I hope you can get into doing work you love full-time. There's nothing like it.
