How would you like a job that pays absolutely nothing?

Obviously I'd like it very much, or else I'd be studying something useful.

Hey, you already have a wife. Your mormon nature betrays you.

He's just looking for another wife, give the guy a break.

I need somebody to make my attempts to be a whack job right wing colomnist not suck grammatically while maintaining my voice.

Don't listen to him. I just lost half an hour of the best years of my life. And his stuff is only 200-300 words. =\

You could have spent that time getting drunk or starting to watch 40 year old virgin for the 17th time

That'll be hard to do. Right wing columnists are notable for their lack of clarity and their want for proper grammar.

Kidding.

Use commas to seperate words, phrases, and clauses written in a series.

So I went to turn in my conservative columnist application. Some fat girl came out and asked me if I needed something I handed her the application and said, "I just need to give this to someone." She had a smile on her face until she looked down and saw what I was applying for. Then through gritted teath she said "I'll give it to them."

So begins my exciting new career.

Being a columnist isn't nearly as fun as you might imagine. Heh.

I'll read whatever BeFell writes--
And I think they have editors to fix grammatical mistakes, btw...

I need as many people to take this as possible.

Social/Economic Poll

As I said, how do you define economic liberal as opposed to economic conservative?

I've always enjoyed it. I've had to take some time off for school and avie has been very understanding towards that. Untill the site becomes a paying job some things have to come first. But summer's coming, my load is lightening and I'm looking forword to figuring out fake people with a clarity real people shun me for.

Writing sucks ass. Journalism writing doubly so. I don't understand why anyone would do it, unless they're either;
• getting paid, or
• going to use this writing to get paid in the future.

I mean for an actual newspaper, Staff.

Or going to use it to help get into college (or if they just like to write)...

Going to college falls under my category of "getting yo pay on," foo.

Ah, well, then. College grads DO make more money.

Uh, foo?

We have diffrent venues but it's the same task. The internet, when used properly, can be a respectable news and commentary source. It's been suggested I market my columns to paying venues but that feel disshonest.

It feels dishonest to make a profit?

No, merely that I didn't write those pieces for them

Yes.

Very.

I think journalism and column writing has to be gimmicky to work out well.
So, BeFell, you either need to be a Micheal Moore or Ann Coulter to pay off as a writer. Meaning: obnoxious and far sided...

But whatever...

Fli's right. All the highly paid people have a drastic take on things or are controversial.

I wouldn't say that. I'd say that's the high profile people. But any of the national publications pay good money. Be a staff writer at $2+ a word? Not bad, not bad.

Holy shit. $2 a word?

You writer hobos aren't so poor after all.

Charles Dickens got paid for the word.

Thats why all his stuff usually sucks because of it being to drawn out.

I think Dickens is one of the great American authors, but I really don't like the fact that he allowed money to influence his style. ZOMG SELL OUT!
