Actually, there's no real secret. ...Hi, Frank:<br /><br />Actually, there's no real secret. I've just been visiting certain job sites -- Freelancewritinggigs.com being one of them -- and Craigslist and applying for a lot of jobs. Maybe that's the secret: I try to apply to at least two writing jobs every weekday. Sometimes I fall short, and I don't even hear back from most of them, but every once in a while you hit paydirt.<br /><br />This month, for instance, I'll start writing for an anthology book of odd facts that I found through a Craigslist posting. And last month I wrote my first story for a solid-paying medical trade magazine, from an ad I found at craigslist. I try to write fresh query letters when applying for jobs. Fortunately, I've gotten pretty adept at writing these letters, so it doesn't take me long. I'd estimate that I spend about 20 minutes on each query. <br /><br />Thanks for writing. <br /><br />And how's the Wraith going these days? We've spoken in the past about possibly working together on some stories for any future Wraith comics you write. Unfortunately, with the fallout in the economy, I haven't had the time to really work on a story for you. (Wasn't sure if you knew this was the same Dan who writes comics at times.)<br /><br />DanDan Rafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15652481958743932768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773342638519952873.post-6176755486446722052009-06-30T18:15:53.401-07:002009-06-30T18:15:53.401-07:00Hey Dan
