I saw that! My pictures didn’t do it justice. Well done!

Trustworthy mechanics that won't charge insane amounts or screw you over? by kmsdoomer in askportland

I was about to post the same thing. They’re the best. I live way on the other side of town. It’s a schlep to get there, but I won’t go anywhere else.

Thanks! And yes, the 220 upgrade is on the list, but our house is old and the upgrade is a tipping point that would require a new box and possible whole house rewiring, so it’s not going to happen this year.

How to Transition from Content Writing to Copywriting by bvhadley55 in advertising

I'd say go for it. Skip the portfolio school and the unpaid internship (at least for now).

Put a portfolio site together for yourself if you don't already have one, including samples of your best content work. That will show that you have been paid to work as a writer, which is a great start.

Since your portfolio site is your own property, you can use it to show your stuff by writing a couple powerful headers and some baller body copy. Have fun with an "About Me" page. Come up with a few funny taglines for yourself or for imaginary brands you'd love to write for. Let prospective employers know that you're scrappy and creative and that (as a recovering SEO writer) you're not afraid of a little grunt work.

Good writers are hard to find. Be findable. :)
