Random dispatches from the front line of Working Mother Monthly
I took the plunge last month and began my most excellent adventure as a Freelance Copywriter. It's something I've done on and off ever since leaving GWR way back nearly 5 years ago but I now have a name for the business - Poppy Copy and I am officially no longer one of those statistics the Daily Mail loves to quote. You know, unemployed mother. Not that I ever claimed benefits - more's the pity - so I guess I might be off the hook. At any rate, I'm a bona fide tax payer now. If you think you know someone who might want copy feel free to pass my details on. My work name (ha ha) is Cheryl Annett-Baker (if you didn't know or hadn't worked it out, my parents didn't christen me Relly: it's just a pet name from school/university) so please pass on my real name and my email, copy@poppycopy.co.uk
Other projects in the pipeline are Ummy Mummy: The smart mummy's personal shopper site, Effective Girl: The stylish chick's effective productivity tools and tips, and my scrapbooking blog, Stash Size Zero is going to get a bit of an overhaul and update too.
Also, in that mysterious space known as Real Life, I'm going to have a stall selling my scrapbooking and altered book handicrafts at The All Things Christmas Show in Hove Town Hall on the December 2nd. Also there will be my friend Steph selling her really rather gorgeous Softies and hand crocheted scarves. (I'm still battling making my own right now).
With that all in mind I should really wrap up this post and go and make some stock. If you live in or around Brighton and you want to be my very best friend, download this pdf, print it out and place it somewhere prominent to encourage people to come and buy our stuff.
December 2nd - put it in your diaries!
Have shown this to Steve, and he's going to be happily passing you on to people. He said that on his Brighton mailing list thing people are often asking for copywriters.
Also showed him your Pauls website and he got all excited about seeing clearleft - apparently thats one of the places he'd like to work in Brighton he says.
also - again, I'm feeling all inspired that it is possible to get on with things like this after having a baby! I keep trying to pull ideas together at the moment, but I get distracted so easily.
