It would be a vast understatement that I….don’t do stress well. That’s one of the reasons why I probably will never make it as a full time journalist in the traditional sense. But I am a good writer — or at least like to think so — and I could do a great job as a freelancer if necessary.
Not that the transition from where I am now to being a freelancer wouldn’t be…uuhhhhh…bumpy.
But if I was going to do it — or was forced to do it — I would try to freelance for media based out of NYC. And, yet, I dunno. I think that’s my ego talking. I probably should try to start off in Richmond. But, I dunno. I have no idea how to go about such things.
What would I write about?
Technology
Media
Pop Culture
Being Blue In The Red Part of a Purple State.
The big issue issue would be, of course, the due diligence that any editor in NYC would do on me would cause them to see what a fucking kook I am. Though it would be fun to see the poke around this blog before they told me that I suck and why did I bother them with this or that pitch?
Anyway. I don’t know yet that I have to go back into freelancing. But it’s at least *possible* at the moment.
