Sure, I write books, newsletters, and blogs. These days, who doesn't?

But like me, you know that in the ever-evolving landscape of content creation, the figure of the modern freelancer has transformed significantly.

We're business owners, copyright holders, part-time workers, and income architects for ourselves and our clients. Sometimes, on top of full-time jobs, just to have a shot at building the dream.

And while we're all used to side gigs as a lifestyle, the need to be too much at all times to have half a chance of earning a living has gone ballistic in the economic chaos of recent years.

Add a randomly-implemented technology revolution to the mix, and everyone from novelists to marketing firms, social media stars to recent grads just trying to start seem to be running full-speed in a ghost job market of bots barfing algorithms while too many wonder where it's all headed or how to handle it at all.

That's okay. You're human. You can take a breath here. I'll be the one to rant and chat, test and report back, to give a bird's-eye view while doing one more interview.

Pinch Hitting for Your Team

Like many people, I wrote and published my first book during the pandemic, taking a dark comedy turn through the personal and global impacts. Through a mix of policy analysis, social commentary, and creative storytelling, fact meets fiction in purpose-crafted characters and questions for our challenging times.

I'm self-published. How about you? Where in your book production journey has you stuck, bummed, or stumped? I might be able to help.

Joining forces with a fellow freelancer, we explored tech old and new for podcast creation. Methods of recording, editing, and distributing battered us with both hope and despair. Casting a wide net in time- and knowledge-intensive tests as total newbies prepped us with fresh skill sets, setting the stage for further iterations.

When you need nerdy rando to tackle the extra to-dos on your list that is too dang long, you wouldn't believe the list of past projects I've tackled. From decluttering to moving countries, waxing poetic on "head's up" aspects of industry risks in side-gig life, to undergoing batteries of A.I. testing, the world has kicked my tires but good in a landscape where economic survival and meaningful career achievement seem like a pipe dream for far too many working people. It all factors in to the random things I know and how I can help you achieve your goals.

What's the next destination, job, business, or side hustle, that's currently on your mind?
