Where the River Runs Dry

My way of venting out my exhaustions, confusions, excitements, and aggrevations in my world & those in and around it.

Just Another Day

Well so far today I have searched for jobs online. Not any luck really. Last night I sent out a few inquiries and received on back (with hopes). She said that if I was picked out of a trillion other writers then the job was mine along with about 4 others. That’s fine by me. The pay is pretty decent as well. Today is Sunday, so nothing much to do really other than search high and low for work.

I may put some stuff on ebay for sale. I do have a book to sell. “Make a Real Living as a Freelance Writer”. I just bought the book, read it twice and it really didn’t help me out at all. I’ve read so many that say the same thing, so why not sell it and maybe it’ll help out someone else. I don’t really have much to sell on ebay, but maybe I can find something. I was thinking about some photographs, pictures I take around the area, but still I can’t see why anyone would purchase such a thing on ebay when they could get it from their local Micheal’s Store or A.C. Moore. I guess I really should search for a forum where people are selling their photographs and if they’re actually making an income from it. Hmmm… I’m gonna add that to my to do list today. Along with learning Photoshop Elements 6.0.

You can purchase some of my prints here. <— Link prob. does not work. I will be checking that out. So far the page says “SERVER ERROR” on their website.

Saturday & It’s Raining!

Well, it’s finally Saturday and it’s raining outside. Seems to be the overflow of Hurricane Hanna, but I don’t mind it. We need the rain. Today, there’s really not much planned, just the norm. I will search the internet high and low for an online writing gig – find a few, apply for them and then move onto my photography portfolio. Yesterday I stayed in my office all day. Today however I think I may sit in my Saturday workstation. I usually sit in the living room, but lately I’ve kinda tried to keep my living room for living and my office for working, not that much work really gets done in there anyway. So maybe out here in the living room today (yeah right) some stuff will get done.

Well, even if nothing gets done today, it’s the weekend. No harm done, right! Today, I may just search photography guidelines for magazines. Every magazine has photographs in it, although many magazines have their own personal photographers, I may be able to sneak in there somehow with a photograph or two.

Okay – Today’s plans:

1. Laundry
2. Update Photography Portfolio
3. Clean out the Fridge
4. Update Netflix
5. Search Craigslist for writing jobs
6. Twitter – enough said
7. Update Facebook

This entry will be continued!
