Who you know

Realized that there's a large-ish pool of good-enough writers in the world, of which I am a member.

After that, it's a matter of who you know and who likes you that determines who gives you what work.

There's a whole other stratum of high quality writers who get work according to merit and notoriety and making their own damn luck. But guys like me, it's about who you know.

I've been using this principle for a while to get the work I do get, but my network is small. Feels a little deflating it took me this long to come to that conclusion consciously. Maybe I need to start caring more about Media Bistro.

Update: Media Bistro kind of sucks for Philadelphia residents.
