I got skills that pay the bills.

If you follow me on Twitter you might already know this but it’s worthy of its own blog post:

I GOT A JOB!

Not just a job, people. A REAL job. A REAL WRITING job.

That’s right. I have landed a stable, full-time, bad ass position as a copywriter. I am so excited about this opportunity that I almost don’t even know what to say.

Also, I wrote all afternoon and I’m kind of drained.

I work for a company who owns several auction sites. We list designer brand watches, jewelry, sports memorabilia, and we even sell coral (our owner is kind of eccentric but so far it’s kind of cool). I work on the jewelry team which means that I write a couple of sentences describing each item and making it sound amazing. In addition to that I measure the stones on the jewelry and write the specs for the listing.

Basically I get to look at fine jewelry all day and write about it.

Life? It’s good.

I feel at home there. It was refreshing to be around other creative people and be a part of creating brands and doing what I do best which is to write and share my opinions.

This is HUGE for me because I don’t have a college degree and you pretty much can’t get a job as a writer without one.

Anyway, I am so happy that I could explode.
