Time to hit the mail bag!

Yes Dear Readers, once again it is time to dig deep into the piles of fan mail which accumulate here daily. Lets see what our Dear Readers have to say today!

Dear Lance, I’ve been a huge fan of yours since day one! Which was 2 weeks ago. I never miss a post! But I’m wondering, how does your wife feel about your freelance career? Thanks, Just Curious.
Well J.C., I am really glad you asked that, because I don’t praise my wife often enough. True, I buy flowers once in a while and I will even occasionally take the garbage out, but nothing says ‘I love you” like bragging about her on your blog. So here it goes: I have the best wife ever! She is incredibly supportive of my freelance writing career (and yes, soon we will be doing some re-modeling around here and fixing the “unemployed” sign out front). She just wants me to be happy, and boy am I happy! She is the Best! So again, thanks for asking J.C.! Lets see what else the mail bag has in store for us…

Dear Lance, I have hated your blog since day one. What’s the point? Seriously. From You Really Suck.
That is an interesting point you make YRS. And while it may be a valid one, I must say that I fundamentally disagree. There is no Agreeing to Disagree on this question YRS. Tell me, what have YOU done today? Hmm? Have YOU made a real difference in the world? I didn’t think so. Well I have. I have made a real contribution to society. And maybe I’ll even tell you about it some time.


Dear Lance, Do you actually enjoy being unemployed? Or funemployed or whatever you call it. Sincerely, You Must Be Super Bored.
You know YMBSB, I really do enjoy being a FREELANCE WRITER. It allows me the flexibility of making my own hours, working as much as I want to, and screwing off pretty much all day long. It allows me to spend real quality time with the family. But you have to be very disciplined YMBSB! You have to be able to meet deadlines, create a great deal of content, and not screw around all day long. But if you are serious about freelance writing, I can give you all kinds of links and resources I have found recently. I never knew how much the internet has really opened up writing from home as a viable career! There are paying jobs by the tens of thousands! Any interest you have, from gardening, to music, to cars or BDS&M, you can write about for any one of dozens of websites, magazines, or online-communities. And many of them pay actual money! Check out http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2010/01/40-more-freelance-writing-markets-paying-100-or-more/ as a starting point. You can make a real go of it if you put the time in. So I hope this helps YMBSB! And good luck to you.


Okay folks, that’s all for today! Until next time, cheers!
