I'll definitely be persistent, then!
Long story short: I freelanced as a copywriter for online publications during the 90's. For years, all I needed to do was mention to someone that I was available to be picked up for a gig! Suddenly in 2000, the gigs became fewer and fewer. I had grown very irritated with corporate America by this point, so I decided to go back to school for a teaching certificate. I have not had any luck finding a job in either field yet.

I guess that I was spoiled by the Clinton era.

Enough forlorn lamenting! I need to approach this like I approached getting gigs at the good rock clubs in town! Persistence!
