Side Projects
Posted by chatfielda on September 1st, 2007
As my eyes continue to water from staring much too deeply into this computer screen all day, trying to complete a deadline early so I can enjoy my Labor Day weekend, I’m going to take a short break and (while still staring at the screen) at least stop working for a few minutes.
I have a couple of new projects in the works that will likely prove to be too much work for me in the long run, but are at least keeping me entertained at the moment. The first I have mentioned before and is my freelancing website at SeattleFreelance.com. The site has been live since early July and does not quite work yet, but the cogs are still turning and it will hopefully be operational in the coming weeks (as the work load lightens). My hope is to create a situation in which I am free of the grips of sites like Elance to garner myself work. We’ll see how it works out.
Second, I’ve started a blog novel at BrutusWeaver.blogspot.com. It’s a new project that sprouted up when I was working on an Elance project (there’s that name again). I basically thought it would be interesting to try and write a novel while people watched, commenting on my new additions every day. My goal is to write 300-500 words every day and have a few people share their thoughts. It’s been done before, but I’m not really aiming to be original, just entertained. So, if you read this (what few of you there are), please stop by and read the first few pages of my newest endeavor and leave some comments to let me know what you think.
Well, that’s it for now I suppose. I have 2500 words left and a massive proofread to undergo before I’m “officially” done for tonight. The sooner, the better.
