I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.

Karla may well have more to say on the subject, but that's the view from thesite's freelancer. Don't tell them I posted, though. She'll beat me with sticks.

Nice to be back at work. And don't worry about DaBrainz, he enjoys it.
Seriously though, get some work experience. Ring up and write to editors of magazines, newspapers, websites etc. And get yourself a portfolio together - start out doing a few things for free to get into print. For example small articles, opinions, reviews, letters to letters pages in magazines etc.
