The girls are with their dad this weekend which means an empty, but quiet house for me. I don’t have any plans as of now. My mom just bought a new house so I may go visit her. Other than I just want to send out as many emails as possible and look for jobs. I am bound and determined to make this work!

Freelance Jobs
I have had a terrible week at work. This is motivating me to work extra hard on finding more freelance gigs. Luckily, I have locked down one new weekly job and I am working on another one. The second one looks promising and I am hoping it will pull through as well!
This entire month I am going to be looking for jobs hardcore.
I started checking on and applying to the writing agencies. As I started applying I noticed there was one thing you need to have prepared beforehand. I’ll be talking about that in my email update. The first one will go out Monday and we’ll talk about what you need for the writing agencies and I’ll give you an example you can work off of to get yours prepared.
I have also made more money this week than I normally do. That will be included in my email update as well!
