Throwing up on Chapter 5

Dear Blog,

Where have you been?

My new career as a freelance writer has been coming along swimmingly. Not only have I come to terms with my awkward love of puns, but I've also put it into action by deciding to name my company (can one person be a company?) Basic Human Writes. This has also caused me to own my first domain name (basichumanwrites.com). Currently, it is a generic "This domain has been registered" page. But one day, it will be a real website. If any of you also wants to own a domain, I happen to know for a fact that reproductivewrites.com is still available.

I also have a phone interview with my first-ever prospective client tomorrow. This is not nearly as glamorous as it sounds, and frankly makes me want to vomit. Perhaps this was a bad idea.

I can't wait to see what happens when I get past Chapter 5 in my "I want to be a freelance writer" book. Hopefully less nausea.

Haha Tom, this is all great! Well, minus your potentially uncontrollable barfing impulses...but hey, what's life without a little vom? Ew. Anywho, glad to see this is coming along so quickly. I'd love to hear about all the steps you took (aside from picking up that infamous 'how to be a freelance writer' book), and whether or not you are turning this into a full-time career. And yes, I agree...I would love to get the blog up and running again. Do you think if we maybe sent out a group email of sorts to remind everyone in an overtly-guilt-ridden sort of way it would help?
Hope all is well and congrats again!
