All the training manuals I’d written, PowerPoint presentations I had developed, sales brochures I created and business plans I wrote were, in fact, writing and proved that I had a talent–even if I had no college degree to back me up." Amazing how so many of us just don't realize that while stuck in the corporate world! wow what a great post – i can relate to literally EVERY single word in here, especially this part:

I have my own writing specialty that makes me a decent living, so I'm not personally looking for new writing markets. However, many people ask me how to get started in freelance writing. My niece just finished her first college textbook supplement (my specialty) and also her first article for ehow.com. She made 7 times more per hour on the textbook supplement, but she enjoyed writing the ehow article and thinks she can get faster. Yolanda, I’m looking forward to following this series.
