    Starting a typing business

    Monday, March 30, 2009, 12:12 PM EST [General]

    I am starting a new typing business for anyone who is interested.  I type 100 words a minute and my rate is $15 an hour (which comes out to $15 for each 6,000 words).  I also proofread and spellcheck every project at no additional charge.  You can contact me here, at my email address ecrowe@crowesfeet.com, or by calling me at (513) 254-3199.  Also, if you see a way that I could improve my service and you offer a suggestion that I use, I will give you a $1 off your project so that I will do the same job at the rate of $14 an hour or 6,000 words.

    I've been a secretary for 20 years for many different kinds of companies (for example, advertising, publishing, law firms, entertainment, construction, real estate, restaurant development, insurance, sales, banks, psychology clinics, even a candy factory).  I'm reliable, accurate, fast, and ALWAYS keep your work confidential.  (The only way anyone will ever get me to spill the beans is with a court warrant or if it seems absolutely necessary to protect you or someone else from you from harm.)

    I also write and have published a few articles, am an associate editor for "Dark Discoveries Magazine," and enjoy working with writers.  I hope to hear from you!

    Also, if you have a small business yourself including as a freelancer, I'd love to hear how your experience has been.

    Ack! I'm running out of time and I haven't started yet!

    I am a deranged person!  I quit my job at the end of July 2008 to write full-time thinking it would be a breeze since everyone in my life has told me I needed to write.  So now that I am versed at playing Myst and every game on Pogo, I came on here today for the first time thinking maybe if I found a group to write with, things would be different.  I would be motivated, take control of my life, get out of this non-writing rut that I'm in.  I have always wanted to do this 50,000 word thing, but had no idea what it was or where to go or the time to leave Myst to find out about it.  And now here it is, November 2nd and I'm already running out of time.  So I have about 5 seconds to find something to write about and I just saw 3,000 words are due by the end of today.  I just now figured out how to post here.  I'm glad that at least, if I am crazy, I have company!  I look forward to getting to know you over the next month!  -- Liz
