Hi Wilson

Finding a critical friend can be difficult, I agree, but there are also writing groups where you can make friends with fellow writers who will critique your work.

There are plenty of other opportunities that don't require up front fees. Kenny, I wouldn’t sign up for any of those. There are plenty of other opportunities that don’t require up front fees.

I want to try freelance and the more I search for how to start the more I am bombarded with what my BS detector believes to be SCAM. "Send my $$ and we'll send you work" are any of those real? Somebody, please give me the scoop. I spend an average of 4+ hours a day on my computer, probably alot more and I'd love to find a way to make a career of it....but, I hate SCAMS.

Community, comments and cash earned are just three of the possible measures. Hmmm, I can feel another post coming on.

I wanted to write, but didn't know how to get started. Plus, fear of failure held me back. My first paid assignment was a major confidence booster - and I haven't looked back. As my writing improved, I was able to find better assignments. I was a dreamer for about three years. I wanted to write, but didn’t know how to get started. Plus, fear of failure held me back.
