Hey! I'm new to this group. I'm a journalist by heart and by trade until the July Indy Star lay-off. I am currently a public relations and marketing intern at Roundpeg, a research assistant for Dr. David Sumner at Ball State University and a nanny. For now, I am living life day-by-day and looking for work.

Bethany Harris Comment by Bethany Harris on October 18, 2009 at 1:17pm
Hello everyone! I'm new to the group after seeing Smaller Indiana online for the first time. In a former life I was a benefits consultant and staffing manager, but my independent thinking and love for writing have encouraged me to branch out on my own. Originally from Northern Indiana, I'm a freelance writer and blogger producing web content in various niches. Though I have a diploma in human relations and public speaking, I have returned to school to complete my degree in Communications. My website has information, news and an international job portal for all freelancers at www.freedomlance.net . I am looking to do freelance projects locally and meeting fellow writers.

Cheers to your success!

If there is such a group, I want in! Too funny.
Betty Malone Comment by Betty Malone on October 2, 2009 at 8:33am
Is there a good forum discussion for beginning writer's here. Something along the line of, Late blooming baby boomer jumpstarting a long neglected freelance writing career after 30 years of raising five indpendent functioning children turned adults? In other words, a forum discussion for old lady writers who still have their brain cells functioning..?
