First paid writing gig

I've never done freelancer work. I stick to poetry and the occasional short story, but when I saw the post about writing for NaturallyCurly.com, I jumped at it.

Here's a link to the first article I wrote for them: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/author/evelyn-alfred

Congratulations. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. Encourage a friend to buy a copy. It's a great summer read, take it out to the pool, but don't let it get to close to the water.

:-)

More contests to come.
