I need to make myself a business card. They were exchanging cards this afternoon after the interview and I was the only one without THE TOOL. If I am to pursue a full-time career in freelance writing by next year, I should be building my client base as early as now. It never occured to me before how important such cards were, but seeing what happened about 30 minutes ago, it became apparent that a business card would somehow propel you into the freelancing business. I cannot just expect people to remember me because I have a very interesting surname. There has to be something tangible so they won't easily forget. Darn. I knew I should have pushed for the creation of a card months ago. I used to get projects from referrals. But what about those people who have never seen my work? How would they place me in their pool of choices? Yes, a card is definitely in order.

I welcome myself to the real world of professional writing.
