Happy Sunday to 8,393 motivated writers 👋🏼 

How’s everyone doing? I’m doing great!

I’ve been a busy bee at work this week 🐝 Getting the last bit of work in before everyone is off for the holidays!

Hope you all are staying warm and healthy these days! Feels like there’s that end of year bug going around 🤧 … but I am determined not to catch it this year 🫡

Pitch calls and freelance jobs are definitely getting a bit lighter as publications are ramping down at the end of the year.. but still got a few for you all to sift through! 👇👇
