New writing job is here

So, after a dry spell of having no paid writing jobs, a fun one with decent pay has come along.

I did the usual post ad on Gumtree thing a couple of weeks ago and received little interest until Wednesday when I received a call from a man called Mike (also from Chelmsford) who runs a site called Apple Uncovered (www.appleuncovered.com) which is a blog focusing on new news (double word intentional) on Apple products.

After a second chat on the phone yesterday, Mike sent me an email with the details: I will be writing about new products on a frequent basis at £3 per article on a long-term basis. There were 8 links about things I was to write about and so I got to it.

The first article was about the new Apple HQ in CA which I knocked out in a couple of hours and was told is excellent and went straight online. 2 more have been written since.

Following on from the well-written article, I was told that if they continue to be of such a good standard, I'll be able to upload them myself. Not bad for my first article about something I know very little about.

So, hopefully this job will continue and I'll actually have something to do over the summer.

Pete is a happy man.

PS - all writing will be done better than this lazy blog post.

PPS - I'm 23 tomorrow. Happiness has suddenly gone :(

Good news re. previous post

As you may have read in my previous post (if you did read it,that is), I'd written a review for my current living area of Beckton/UEL. This article was sent off and, after waiting a few days I got a nice reply of:

"Thank you for submitting to London Impact. We have looked at your work and we will be using it in our debut online publication".

So it looks like my journey as an article writer is beginning.

I have also applied and will be appearing in another article site due to appear on Friday. I'll keep the name secret until my article appears. Saying that, it won't be mentioned on this blog so you'll just have to find it yourself. Think of it as a treasure hunt, if you'd consider a book review to be treasurable.

If I write an article to appear on one of the sites it won't be appearing on here and vice versa. Best to keep things fresh and different, wouldn't you say? Rather than clicking on a link just to find yourself reading the same thing which you read two minutes ago.

Keep an eye out for the next posts :)

Pete
