Fellow #freelancewriter people: I'm reworking my fee structure (ahem...creating a fee structure) and I have questions for those of you who work off of retainers. If you're willing to chat, please drop a reply!!

@ecainwrites I did a couple of small pieces for a client nearly two years ago and it still bothers me that I haven’t seen them go live. 😂

Come along for a trip to my favoritest bar ever.

@cpdanforth Fucking witch hunt.

[Carolyn Rousch @carodynamics]

@cpdanforth PS - for a self-proclaimed “writer” my original reply above is a hot mess, and I feel compelled to acknowledge it. Haha. 🤪 #notenoughcoffee #dontjudgeme #blameautocorrect

[Carolyn Rousch @carodynamics]

@cpdanforth Also, not just dumb, but I’m really poor taste consider to whom “Shifty Kelly” is married: https://t.co/jFFuGpoha0

@cpdanforth My love hate relationship with this state and its leaders (elected and wannabe) is real.

[Carolyn Rousch @carodynamics]

@cpdanforth Well I know who I’m voting for in our next election.

“Thickset and pugnacious, starlings are the bruisers of the avian world.” This article about some dude’s dumb idea to release the birds of Shakespeare into the US is pure poetry. https://t.co/IhHCZmfcH9

So. Now that This Is Us is ending, when do we get to talk about a @OfficialPITCHTV reboot? I have a few ideas if you need them @Dan_Fogelman.

A summary of my writing process in five easy steps:
1) Ugly first draft.
2) Uglier second draft.
3) It’s all crap. All of it.
4) Give up and walk away.
5) Magic.

@VerizonSupport If I had a dollar for every minute I spent with your agents trying to fix these things, you'd be paying me to use your phones. Currently, I've been on chat with this agent for an hour, only to be told that there isn't a discount on my account. Duh. That's the issue.

[Carolyn Rousch @carodynamics]

Dear @Verizon: Why is it that I always have to chase you down to actually apply the "offers" you send me? I'm chatting with one of your reps to get a discount from August applied. The last time, it took five contacts (FIVE!) with your people to get the credits applied correctly.

[Carolyn Rousch @carodynamics]

@VerizonSupport At best, this is an oversight. At worst, it's a shady business practice because you know that not everyone will have the time/energy/patience to chase you down. Please do not dismiss this as "your rep will fix it." When it happens every time, it's on YOU.

[Carolyn Rousch @carodynamics]

@VerizonSupport Hey Danielle! Thanks for the reply. This is a problem with your system that VZW needs to address. This is not the first time I've had to chase down a deal you offered. I've been a customer for 10+ years, and it's EVERY TIME.

[Carolyn Rousch @carodynamics]

@VerizonSupport Why does your computer system not accurately record and apply those credits? Why am I having to provide confirmation of the discount months later? Why do I have to save every conversation I have with you all because I KNOW I'll need to prove the discount you offered me?

[Carolyn Rousch @carodynamics]

@CorrieOberdin CUUUUUUUTE. I'm also guilty of doing that too much, and I love that you're actively working on not lingering at the desk!

My day will be primarily spent writing reviews of pet products. Have I mentioned lately that I love my job? Also, have I mentioned that my furry crew loves my job?
