Well, folks, I’ve finally reached a milestone I can be proud of.

That’s right — I’ve landed my first, paid writing gig.  (Besides this, of course, for which I earned $7.88 in one year.)

Here she blows:

What Your T-Shirt Says About You — Part 1:  The Lovable Geek

 

Well, I hope she doesn’t blow, because that would… blow.

Anyway.

Feel free to leave a comment on that post saying how awesome the writer is.  There are a couple of writers for that blog, and unfortunately our names don’t go on the posts, so there’s no solid way for readers to tell who wrote what.  Except that mine are awesome.  (Okay, the others aren’t too shabby, either.)

Did I mention I’m getting paid?  Not substantially, mind you –and I’m probably putting more effort into each than is required by what I’m getting paid, but hey — money is money.  I’m hoping my work and portfolio-buildage will pay off eventually.

Aside from short t-shirt and costume related articles, we also get to concoct lists.  Here’s my first list:

Costumes Guaranteed to Humiliate Your Dog

It’s kind of cool that I’m getting paid for that.  Of course, I won’t actually believe I’m getting paid until I have that check in my fat little fingers, but here’s hoping.

Anyway, I have some projects I’m working on and some recipes to share, so don’t worry — I’m not dropping that part of the blog.  I just haven’t had time to go through the photos yet.  I know — can you believe it?  I’m actually busy.

I’m kind of shocked myself.

I still haven’t heard back from the real-life job, but they told me to expect a call on Monday.  I won’t hold my breath that long, but if you could do it for me, that would be great.

Anyone have any exciting weekend plans?
