What makes the blog worth visiting?
Here’s the deal: By quietly rebelling against some freelancing lore, I’m making my career work. By quietly rebelling against the old status quo in the outside world, including my relationships, my identity as a woman, my general conduct, and more, I’m making a unique and infinitely happier life. Perhaps by writing about this, I’ll provide an interesting and irreverent take for readers on ways to make their lives their own, and to get moving on that whole “pursuit of happiness” thing.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Writers have to be rebels. We have to take the idea of normal and turn it on its head. We have to examine the status quo and the world that exists around us, analyze it, question it, and present it to our readers in ways that make them think and see and feel. Writers have to be a little weird, perhaps even annoying or troublesome or inexplicable. We subject the world inside and outside to tremendous scrutiny, and it can leave us a little touched in the noggin. Writers also have to build immunity to levels of rejection and criticism that far exceed that for sanity. So why do it? At Quiet Rebel Writer, I try to figure it out.
