A Desperate Act of a New Writer
Choosing to pursue writing as my main source of income was difficult and the risks are many. Luckily, I have a wonderful support system that allows me to finally take my dream of being a writer seriously and focus all my efforts in this area. However, in my haste to acquire some modicum of financial success, I have leaped before I looked and created an account with hirewriters.com. This is a bit of a cautionary tale that I'm sure other writers may have experienced when they were trying to begin their careers and I thought I would share my experience with those that are interested.

Make It Close and Personal
Millennials have a very particular approach to what they like to buy and how they do so. We're talking about a generation shaped by the rise of the Internet and the economic crisis: as saving money becomes a decisive factor in decision-making, a one-size-fits-all approach is not perceived as acceptable. Tiered pricing is only the tip of the iceberg, a good start, when it comes to addressing the need and desire for personalization.

Classroom Management and Substitute Teaching
This is something they never teach you when you’re getting your license. When I went in for my first classroom observation and I saw the horrors of a poorly managed classroom, I wondered why it wasn’t a topic of serious conversation prior to getting my license. Why don’t we get taught this? How does such an important element of education get left out? When do you push and when do you pull back?
