Back when I published work only occasionally, for little pay, in places no one had ever heard of, a friend ‘shared” a story assignment she was too busy to handle herself. In doing so, she introduced me to the wide publication possibilities that food-writing can open for writers.
My brother arrived home safely last week after being stranded while doing missionary work. You can read his blog here: https://www.sevenapples.blogspot.com/
Looks like he’ll be returning next Spring…and our mother is NOT happy about that.
This Week:
I’m not supposed to work for free. I know that. I’ve been freelancing for five years and know my worth. And yet, a few times each year, one friend or another will ask me for a favor.
