Janel’s Writing, 1/29

With the economy the way that it is, I’m hurting for assignments. There are some bright spots (I’ve been writing people’s resumes), but overall, it’s rough to be a freelancer right now. Several of the magazines I write for regularly don’t have money to pay freelancers and are doing everything in house.

Here’s are some topics that I’m working on right now:

1. Dramatic Play
2. Creative Date Nights
3. How to redecorate for cheap
4. Summary of “The Great Depression Ahead”
5. Sustainable Small-Scale Vegetable Production
6. Vintage Base Ball

So, there it is. Stay tuned for posts about recently published articles for you to read!
