Getting paid to write articles…
Afternoon everyone.
Well, we have survived the family getaway to Scotland – although it was certainly not without it’s mishaps! First and foremost our caravan was right out in the wilds (18.5 miles away from the nearest town – in spite of the brochure saying it was just 3 miles – I will be saying something about that!)
Then when we did finally find it, we discovered that there was no phone or internet access – a pain in the backside for my 15.5 year old son – but more worryingly a headache for us seeing as we had my mam who as most of you will know has been very ill with us! To be fair upon learning about mam’s situation the manager of the site did tell us we were welcome to knock them up out of bed at any time of the night should we need any assistance
On a positive note, we have toured the Border region of Scotland, the rain managed to hold off until everyone was tucked up safely in bed, my mam got to visit her beloved Scotland, my son discovered the genius that is Stephen King, the dog only leapt out of the caravan window in search of rabbits once, and the midgies saved their attack on on us until we were packing up this morning.
I also got a solitary walk and found some inspiration during a rare moment of reflection in the absolutely beautiful Ettrick Valley, a place that I have never previously thought to visit but will most definitely visit again (although maybe next time it will be just me and my husband!!) I have long since been drawn to Scotland and I will definitely be using the Border Region as a setting for some of my future works…
Back home now and have a busy week ahead of me in terms of catching up on the blog and doing some work on The Tunnel of Love – I also need your help! I have been looking at some freelance writing sites
1. As a means of earning some extra money myself
2. To build up a guide of the best and the worst freelance sites
There are however hundreds of them, so if any of you have any suggestions as to where I should start, or which ones I should avoid then please shout up!!!
LOVE
