As one freelance writer to another, I hope you do well, La Shawn. It’s not easy work, but God’s blessed you in many ways. I know that I would chew off a limb to get the TV exposure that you’ve received.

Laboring in obscurity,

Well, my “cubicle” is out in the forest and streams.

Nice going La Shawn. Who won the award anyway? Somebody who came from Columbia University? (*whistle*)

Working without a net is thrilling, La Shawn! I broke out of the cubicle culture 30 years ago, and I’ve never looked back. Best of luck to you in everything you do.

On a friendship note, La Shawn Barber will be working at BlogNashville. Although I do not know her personally, I consider her to be of fine caliber. A true patriot with a mind of her own. I am sure you will enjoy reading her articles.

LaShawn, I’m absolutely thrilled to hear about your new successes in self-employment. The future is yours. I’m sure God has wonderful things in store for you. And you deserve it.

Congratulations! Living a bit of the American dream, huh? What a big step and a huge leap of faith.

Keep the faith LaShawn. We know YOU can do it. My father was “runner up” to a Rhodes Scholarship and “runner up” for a position on the Olympic Team…but “hung in there” and had a wonderful fullfilling life. …. and ME.

LaShawn,

I found a wonderful site with wonderful insights into the career path that you (and I) am seeking.

Terry Whalin:
His blog – http://terrywhalin.blogspot.com/
His site – http://www.right-writing.com/

Unlike most other sites, this guy actually gives so much useful information about the industry for free.

I think you have an excellent opportunity especially with the name recognition you are getting from being on MSNBC. Let me know if you need help writing a marketing plan.

Congratulations!

The hardest part about setting up a business is getting started, and you’re on your way already–you go girl!

BTW, have you checked out the Society for Technical Communicators (www.stc.org)? I’m a member (my office pays for it, and you can count it as a business expense) and I highly recommend membership to anyone in technical communication.

YGG!
All that travel and meeting new folks will make you forget all about that ol 9-5! Best of luck to you! I’m not sure that this is the correct place to ask….but I have a prayer request. My lovely wife of 17 years is donating the left lobe of her liver to (Michael) an infant neighbor next Monday 5/2 at Hopkins. Please pray for Michael and Kelly.
Thanks
