Welcome back, friends. It's Wednesday morning and I have news. Yesterday, one of my friends, who is quite the influencer, posted these blog posts into a Facebook group and it led to me getting in touch with someone from an academic publishing company. Long story short, I'm sending him an email this morning to see if we can do some business together. THAT, is how freelancers get work. It's all who you know and who knows you. (Side note: I was chatting with a friend yesterday who said she had given my name to another publisher about a freelance project recently. Nothing came of it but weird timing to say the least.)
Around 9:30 I received an email reply from a government official who I had taught a couple of weeks ago. He asked me to help him find a full-time English editor (it has to be a Korean) for his ministry in Osong. I suggested that while he was looking I could do some urgent proofreading jobs. We'll see what happens.
In the middle of the morning I messaged a client about a big proofreading job that I was expecting this week. It got pushed back to next week and she wanted to make sure that it was ok. That's the good thing about proofreading jobs; they can be done any time and any place.
I ate an apple. The Thunder and Spurs are tied with about seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
A bigger editing request came in from a regular client just after 11. (11:32 and the Thunder rolled...) Another small editing job came in just before lunch. All the editing was done by 1:45 and I needed some sunlight so I went out for a while.
Later in the afternoon I had a FB chat with a friend teaching in the Middle East. He's putting me in touch with his school's PD person about coming there to do a workshop. I'm be pretty stoked if that worked out.
It's 5:45 and I'm off to meet a former coworker who is visiting from Saudi Arabia. We'll see if it's everything he hoped it would be. Check in tomorrow to see.
