July 7th, 2008 — Copywriting, Getting paid, Getting ripped off, Writing
Freelance writer needed, no pay.
What! How the $%*@ do you expect to get something for mother-&%$#ing free. And then you want quality? Oh, hell no!
Whoa, sorry, took on another personality for a minute. Really, I never talk like that. But my point is still valid.
Why writers shouldn’t make money?
Well, I can’t rightfully say since people peddling their you know what on the street make more than most writers. Musicians make money, construction workers make money, shit those dudes that clean out the Sani-Huts make good money.
Hey, we got mouths to feed too!
So tell me how someone who cleans poop for a living makes money, but writers don’t.
Well, everyone can write, right? So maybe I should see if there’s a job opening scrapin’ pooh off the inside of the local construction site’s Cooks.

Just kidding
I’ve finally arrived and I think it’s time to get this baby going. I’ve had this domain, oh, for about, well, ten months. Ouch. I guess I should have got on this a little earlier, but hey I’m busy right?
What’s this all about?
Well if you couldn’t get an idea from the blog title, it’s about bitching. Yep, you heard me. I plan to bitch all the time on this blog so if bitching isn’t your thing, get outta here.
As a freelance copywriter, well as a writer period, we tend to deal with people who well, suck. For some reason people don’t tend to take writers serious. I guess it goes that way for artists too, but at least if you’re good you get recognition, even if it is after you die… ok that’s a downer.
Nevertheless, I plan to share my experiences with you (hoping not to piss anyone off too bad). Maybe you’ll get a writing tip in here once in a while and maybe some job listings, but mostly you get to see that you are not alone.
All writers struggle alike.
The reality is people don’t like to think that someone can do something so elementary as writing better than them. The fact of the matter is, we (writers that is) do!
Pat yourself on the back and…
join in the fun of exhaling. It’s healthy to bitch. Get it off your chest, clear the air, and remember life is far bigger than this.
