Freelance writing

I’m currently doing some freelance writing in a desperate attempt to make extra cash.

I spent a lot of today researching the real estate market in Blaine, Minnesota.

Y’know…it was kinda fun. It’s not super high pay, but it’s something to do…and always a challenge to figure out what to say about something I know next to nothing about.

Last week, I wrote short travel articles on Vermont, Rhode Island, and New York State. Weird facts:

— In Vermont, public nudity is legal but public disrobing is not.

— New York State is the home of the oldest working cattle ranch in the US. It’s on Long Island.

— Rhode Island (this shouldn’t be a surprise to the locals, esp. the goth crew) has the grave of Mercy Brown, who was dug up and staked as a vampire in 1892. Her story may have inspired the character of Lucy Westerna in Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”.

Gotta love it.
