Getting A Life

[Lamplighter]

A Master program is a very good thing, BUT...
... for a freelance writer, is it necessary right NOW

Do you know yet what area of writing you want to pursue ?
Do you need more mentoring on the technical skills of writing ?
Is a Master's what you need, or what you want, or is it a hide-out ?


As a freelancer or consultant just out of college, the climb can be steep.

Where do you fit into this sequence right now ?
...advertising=>new clients=>your reputation=>
...new contracts=>contract completion=>$ payment=>
...job satisfaction=>life contentment

A part-time job that puts you in contact with people has several benefits:
... a regular $ income just to meet essentials
... a reason to get up and out of the house on the days you work
... an interaction with new people - not family, not friends, not Dwellars
... a line on your resume

... most of all, for a young writer it can give more "world experience"
... a possible meeting of new clients or subjects for your writing
... a breathing space while you get your "business" going
... an opportunity to build credibility/reputation as a writer

... a sense of independence
