I somehow managed to snag a summer job before my search officially commenced.
I will be writing travel collateral, which I am fortunate enough to be able to do out of the comfort of my own home. This is perfect for me; it gives me the opportunity to work at my own hours, sleep in as late as I desire and wear my pyjamas at my leisure. The pay is also better than I would receive working at minimum wage.
And the flexibility is a bonus. If the opportunity presents itself for me to go to Ohio for a weekend with my father and his replacement family, I will be able to go guilt-free.
This is my first experience with professional writing, and I’m sure that this will be invaluable for my future career as a journalist.

I’m basically contributing to publications of the best restaurants, stores, hotels, etc. in different cities. Not overly exciting to most people, but I’m stoked.

Do you actually get to go there? Otherwise how in gods name will you write it?

I essentially summarize things that are already written. I wish I got to go to the places!
