I don’t like the Thanksgiving holiday. I don’t even like turkey. But I do like any excuse to reflect on what I’m grateful for. Of course, these are things I’m grateful for year round, but now seems like a good time to make a list. I could have included “No smallpox infested blankets” but that didn’t seem very freelance writing related.
- I have more than enough work to keep me busy and financially stable.
- I work for really nice people, for the most part.
- I enjoy what I do.
- As of this year, I officially make more money freelancing than I did as a paralegal.
- I can work from my bed and wear comfy clothes.
- I don’t have to endure a one-hour train commute seated alongside stinky, sneezing people anymore.
- I no longer waste half my pay check on ‘business casual’ clothing or expensive downtown meals.
- I no longer have to deal with office politics or gossip.
- Every day is Bring My Bunny To Work Day.
- I have met some very nice people through this blog, and I am grateful for all of you who visit here to read my posts.
What are you grateful for?

Happy Turkey Day, Amy!!
I’m thankful that I’ve just started this blogging adventure, and with sites like this, I am working towards starting to submit some work.
Thank you for all you do!!

Hello, this is J. Mousseau, can you remind me what day my article will be up on write-from-home.com?
EMAIL ME: j.mousseau@hotmail.com

Thanks to all of you. You’re very sweet. Hope you all had a good holiday.
Jessica, I just emailed you, but in case you read this first, your article will be up in December.
Please do comment and discuss.
We love a good conversation!
Please use a name when commenting. Does not have to be your real name or full name. But responding to folks calling themselves "Make Money Writing Online" and such kinda sucks. Calling yourself keywords will likely get you thrown into my spam filter.
