Word mercenary available
It takes courage and a soft spot for craziness. It takes time and a few bucks in your bank account. It takes a gift for organizing yourself and not becoming a couch potato. It takes all of this to say goodbye to stability and hello to freelance journalism.

As of today, although i'm still waiting on some bureaucracy to fall through, i am an Official Word Mercenary. I do everything, boys and girls, from cell phone comparatives to movie premieres, anti-Royal Wedding chronicles or fashion reviews. Anything with words, you can count me in.

After making this terrible self-publicity, i'll tell you about the process. All this decision making has been hard and scary. But the idea of returning to the same old shit at the newspaper website was too raw for me. After this 12 month hiatus i felt i needed to cook my own stuff. I don't really know my options yet, but i think i'll be all right. I need this time. And i certainly need this freedom.

Now, editors of the world, if you could please hire me...
