I started out on Medium in 2014. About three months after officially starting out as an online freelance writer. I guess I heard about Medium and how this might be a great tool to build your portfolio to show prospects you can write. But for the next year all I…

It seems impossible, but it’s not if you have a plan — I’ve been writing online for six years now. Well, that’s a lie. I dabbled in some blogging over ten years ago when I was newly married. The internet back then was the wild wild west. …

When you write as a freelancer do you turn into a robot writer? — I’ve been writing online since 2014. I know my writing has changed over the years. I’m assuming it’s changed for the better.
