Okay, I am now back from my vacation. Trumbull was a nice visit as always, and Boston was cool (although I have to admit I think I liked Salem more than the latter). This also means that I will now begin looking for a new job more suited to my abilities. I've got a lead on an online freelancing site which looks somewhat promising, but it doesn't pay very well, so I'll have to find some additional means. I may also start up some kind of online tutorial on getting work published or start doing some freelance editing. I'm not sure what my rates will be yet though.

Good luck, Patrick. Freelance work has always been my favorite kind of work. But it's inconsistent, which can be a problem. Most of my gigs have come from contacts back at the university I attended (book editing) and through relationships I've built with professionals in related fields, like graphic and web design (copy for ads, brochures and web). They get a design project that needs some copy, and they toss that part of the job over to me. Not always the most exciting work, but developing similar sources might work for you, too, in terms of creating steady workflow.
I absolutely ADORE Salem. It's one of my favorite places ever. And congrats on your Miskatonic Falls acceptances! It'll be a pleasure sharing a TOC with you. :)
