I like publishing. I write for a living.  I love to write. I am currently freelancing as an editor. I am trying to sell my own writing. I like to go to museums.
My wife use to be a teacher but is now in publishing. My wife now is employed with a decent income. My hobbies include painting pictures. Pizza is my favorite food. I live near the Smithsonian. I like dinosaurs. I am starting a job selling cars yesterday. I was previously unemployed for some time. I had a side job writing for Barclaycard travel, but lost it in January 2021 when the site closed down. I attempted to apply for other jobs besides selling cars. I love cars. My new job pays me on commission. I have not been paid for my new job yet. I am interested in discussing writing side jobs.
I just heard back from my writing agent about the work I'm trying to sell. Great! Did you get the green light? Yes! My agent says I've got about 6 months to give them my work. I'm looking forward to getting it done so I can be paid. As you know, it's difficult to wait for payment. Do you know when you'll be paid for your new job? That's good news! Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly for you. I get paid a small base salary fortnightly with next week Friday being my first payday. The biggest possible part of my compensation is the commission. What topics do you focus on in writing? I like to review the museums I've visited to give people ideas on what exhibits are the best to spend more time on. I also enjoy writing about travel in general. Will you buy anything special with your first commission check? I will use it to buy a plane ticket to Europe. It's been some time I haven't travelled as I couldn't afford it while I was unemployed. Do you have any trips planned for the near future? I think I'd like to visit France again soon, but I haven't made it official yet. It's been a while since I went to the Louvre and the new exhibits sound interesting.  Ah, I'm sure one of them you are referring to is the Leonardo da Vinci exhibit. I will be going to the Louvre again on my next Eurotrip mainly to see the largest ever Leonardo exhibit.  That will be a fantastic trip! It will be a nice departure from visiting the Smithsonian, I bet, since you are able to go there much more often. Yes, but unfortunately, when I'm employed, I will be time poor -- that's life, we can't have everything. When I'm unemployed, I'm time rich but cash poor.  Very true. It's all about balance. Working all of the time is nice for the wallet but not so nice for leisure. I'll be working very hard for the next several months to meet my deadlines, then I can relax for a while. Cool, if there are other writing opportunities with your employer, please let me know. I might be able to be a freelance contributor.
