SpikeTheLobster Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hidely hodely! I'm Spike. I'm older than I feel and like to think I'm a freelance writer. For the last couple of months, though, I've been promoting a book and working on a network of new sites, so I haven't done much writing. Instead, I've been pulling my hair out a lot. That must be why I'm going bald. I've been learning (or re-learning) site management, design, various tweaking languages (I don't dare say programming since I've done that in the past and I don't consider fiddling with php and/or templates to be programming), process design and lots of other fun techie-business stuff. On top of that, I've been doing more marketing than I'm comfortable with (since I don't really enjoy that). Looking forward to learning some new tricks, sharing some ideas and meeting lots of lovely folks here. But right now, I'm going to chuck a DVD on, eat some fish and chips and make all the work go away for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nathan Posted February 21, 2012 Administrators Share Posted February 21, 2012 Welcome to the board Spike! Freelance writer huh? What topics are you proficient at writing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeTheLobster Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Just about anything. I've written software reviews for online magazines, technical docs, press releases, training courses, user guides and articles on so many different subjects I can't even remember them all. These days I usually focus on freelance writing (as a subject) and real estate (since I got roped into writing tons of stuff about that for a couple of years). But if the client's interesting, I'll cover anything: the last two biggies were alternative energy and animal breed encyclopaediae (writing and editing for both).

Administrators Nathan Posted February 21, 2012 Administrators Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well if you are looking for some work PM me your rates for software reviews. I've been trying to find someone to write a few a week for me. But haven't been happy with anyone yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeTheLobster Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks for the offer but I'll pass for now: I'm right in the middle of a (hopefully) major site development, then the launch, as well as handling book promo and several lesser sites I need to manage and produce stuff for!
