Freelance Writing - Is it a feasible second job?

So this week, I am revisiting an old idea that I want to get involved with freelance writing work. And why not? I spent four years in college honing my research and writing skills so I consider myself to be a fairly strong writer with a good sense of what it takes to write something that people will want to read. So I am working on building up my limited portfolio, submitting articles to some of my favorite women's print magazines, e-zines, blogs and web forums all in the hopes that my work will get noticed and I may even get paid for some of it.

This week I am researching and hope to add some of my work to this blog and to myspace so wish me luck!

I've also been accepted to participate in a PAID web panel about computer buying habits of consumers next week. I am really looking forward to that and hope it leads to more work for the marketing research firm that hired me. (name left out for privacy)

On the upside, I am starting to get the hang of my new job as a Staffing Consultant ,albiet it has it's challenges. I enjoy the people I help find good jobs for and my boss is just a wonderful support and mentor.

Blessings to you and yours during the "Dog Days of Summer" !
