A Little Good News

I have some really good news to share. I did a little in a post yesterday, but I want to go a little more into it. The thing is, it’s something that I would normally write on my other blog- the place I write about my soon-to-be-born grandson and such things as term life insurance. But a good friend of mine reads that blog and she’s going through a rough time. I don’t want to make it seem like so many good things are happening for me right now when she’s really hurting.

I applied for a writing job. I did it only because I wanted to “put myself out there” and take some chances. I actually didn’t expect anything to come of it. I’ve had two offers in the past that I was really excited about, but neither of them proved fruitful. I didn’t want to get my hopes up. But I didn’t do a half-assed job on the application. I was asked for a writing sample and did my best work (in my opinion) and then offered them ideas for topics that I could cover (were I to be selected). I am tired of “almost” and am willing to accept a lot of rejections to reach my goals.

I received an email yesterday. I was accepted! The best part is that there isn’t going to be any writing an article, sending it in and not getting payment for it. I’ve already received my password and am to start training on site policies. I’ll be posting to that site, but will retain full ownership of all my content. So, if it’s especially good stuff, I can repost excerpts on my own sites. At any rate, the PR for this particular site is pretty high and it’s a reputable organization (according to the research I’ve done already). This will be excellent experience and exposure for me. I’m incredibly excited.

I feel a little blessed right now. I see good things coming.
