My short stint as a Freelance Writer

I was never educated as a writer. However, I found it easier to express myself through writing rather than spoken words. This was further validated when my English highschool teacher read a short story I composed during class. After which she told me that I have an innate ability in writing. I never made anything about it. I thought that I just picked up words when watching the tube or movies.

One day, I found myself unable to physically show up for work. With nothing to keep my mind occupied, my sister suggested for me to do some freelance writing. She was herself a writer and in fact maintained a site which enables her to earn even while at home.


I decided that I had nothing to lose so I decided to apply as a content writer for an online site. I was quite surprised when my first article was approved. I was even paid for it!

In the months that followed, I wrote a few simple articles (typos and all) that made me enough money to buy some parts for my pc. It was just a short stint. But if you really devoted time to it, it can be a good source of additional income. Anyone interested?
