Sonya 1Back on the Querying Track
September 29th 2008 15:37
I lost a job as of yesterday, so I’m back on the query trail. This was not a writing-related gig. It was a job I worked outside the home as a favor to someone special to me, but the “employer” of this person didn’t like that she wasn’t the actual person doing the job. I did all the same things as she did, but she’s been unable to do the job for various reasons. It’s been a secret (I’ve been working this job once per week for eleven months) and I guess they finally caught on to what was going on when they repeatedly saw my handwriting on the bills each month.
I couldn’t stand the job, so it’s kind of a good thing. The bad thing, though, is I need to find replacement for that income fast. That’s my goal this week. I know I can accomplish this goal, but it’s difficult to achieve during an already busy week.
I’ll be visiting my old haunts:
· Really Long Link
· http://www.journalismjobs.com
· http://www.mediabistro.com
· http://www.sunoasis.com
· http://www.poewar.com
I’m sure I’ll be visiting forums where paying gigs are listed as well. I’ve got my “Organized Writer’s Side-Tracked Planner” ready to set ablaze with query notes, leads, and place to follow-up. Something I just realized . . . which is kind of odd . . . I’m subscribed to a large number of newsletters and it just now occurred to me that I haven’t been receiving them for quite some time. Weird. I need to fix that right now! There’s leads in those newsletters!
How is your Monday going?
