Fingers and Toes Crossed

I have a new client meeting tomorrow morning. I made it to the second round of interviews and have to drive to Greensboro (about 90 minutes away) to meet in person. This would be contract copywriting work and I can do it all out of my house (with an occasional meeting in the office). If things worked out it would be for several projects.

My business cards came in the mail over the weekend. Could it be a sign? Maybe... Wish me luck! I need it.

Fingers Crossed

Tomorrow is the big day! It's the preschool lottery. Keep your fingers crossed for us. Sam really wants to go to school next year. Look at how prepared she is already!

Wish Me Luck

For those who may not know, I am a freelance writer/public relation consultant out of my home. I worked two years at a PR firm and then have been doing project work on my own for the past 6 years. Some days I have alot of work, others I have nothing. I work on anywhere from magazine articles (I have even won an award for one) to press releases, product manuals, media kits and web writing. Basically if it needs written, I do it. Someday I hope to make a transition to writing a book. Matt keeps telling me that when Sam goes to kindergarten in 2 years (sob!) it would be the perfect time to start writing it. Anyways, enough about my boring work.

I got a call yesterday afternoon from where I am a contractor asking if I could do a quick turnaround on a project for them. Basically it is rewriting and editing a project entry for a company-wide contest. Since this is a multibillion dollar company, this is a pretty big deal. Sure no problem, I can help. After all, how big of a project could it be? So the client emailed it to me late last night and after talking with him today I learn the "little project" that needs to be to him by mid-Monday, is to be 25,000 (yes, that is 25 THOUSAND) words. Oh and can I write up a quick 1,500 work executive summary?

I'm going to die. Please wish me luck. I'm going to need it.
