Krista, as Robin Williams once said, it's like saying overweight people are in shape because they're considering exercise. LOL

Anonymous, great one to add to the list!

Devon, at least she didn't argue back about how "overpriced" you are. I get that and I shake my head thinking what clueless fools these people are. I won't return the argument. They'd be wasting my billable hours. ;)

Oh Kimberly, that's a great one! I hate that one, too.

PS, completely agree. I posted exactly two ads for help. The directions for application were simple, yet only one person out of 12 bothered to pay attention. And they wonder why they can't make it in freelancing?

I totally agree with you. What makes me sick?

When my poetry ezine specifies email submissions only and I receive a snail mail submission with 5 or 6 stapled copies of poems which have been xeroxed and no SASE. Drives me nuts.

Related to what Paula said, I recently attended a marketing seminar for small business owners. I went with another freelance writer, and actually heard the person putting on the seminar say something along the lines of, "Wow, freelance writing would be great. All you need is a computer and the Internet."

No, for the love of God, that is NOT all you need. That's like saying all you need to become the next Michael Phelps is a pool membership, or that all you need to become a classical pianist is a piano.

Those job posts on that say, "If we like your work and feel you'd be a good fit, it could mean many more projects for you in the future." Not.

What makes me sick are millions of people who think just because they passed high school English they know what good writing is, and that any one of them could do a decent job as a writer.

Ha!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I agree with everything in your list and everyting said by Anonymous.

I got an email from a "potential emplooyer" who said I could make "up to " $500/month. I wrote back politely explaining that wasn't even my day rate. She wrote back, congratulating me on my success and said she'd take me off the list. Go ahead and do that, sweetie. Cause you can't afford me.

Oh, by the way, my word for verification is "sores" -- pretty funny.

Bloggers who share their "writing expertise" with others, but write exclusively for Suite 101 and similar crap-paying sites. Also, people bragging about making $5 an article and not knowing why it's soooo wrong.
