I finished my first freelance article.

I had my first assignment last night with my new freelance job. I had to write an article around the words daily calorie requirements. It had to be 500 words. I think it was actually 523 when I got done. Since I am constantly worried about my weight, this article was fairly easy for me to complete. This was my test article. If it is approved, I will be assigned long term work. I haven't heard anything yet. The company said that I should hear something within 24 hours. I have at least another 2 hours to wait.

goodluck! it is great to know that you finished an article for your freelance job. if you find it easy, then most likely it will be accepted. they say that when we write close to our heart, we will be surprised of the outcome. of course, it will be very good. the hardest thing now is to wait for the result.

yes, that is the hardest part. I think it has been just at 24 hours since I sent them the article. They said that I should hear something within 24 hours. I hope I get that email soon.

Thanks! I got an email this morning or sometime overnight that said they could not open the article when I emailed it. I have vista on my laptop. I don't know what is different about it that would prevent you from opening an attachment.

Thanks. And no copy & paste. That is against the rules so it was all original.

Thanks. You could do this I am sure. All you do is write an informative article around a few key words or a phrase. It's pretty easy.

hey! way to go! I've been writing for 20 years now, but I only started freelanceing 2 years ago. It was a scary move for me, because I was writing fiction all the time and I was not sure I'd be any good at non-fiction. Good luck!
