First real job and ANOTHER dog

So anyways, I got my first real job: writing for the newspaper.

I can write as many stories as I want, a minimum of 12 a year and a minimum of two of those stories being spotlights on other people.

HERE IS THE BEST THING.

Articles can be anything from stories, opinions, to REVIEWS. And I have been ENCOURAGED to do reviews of games, movies and other stuff for now.

I get $25 per article, even if it's not printed.

I am also refunded any expenses I had in writing the article. So if I rented a game or went to see a movie, ticket/rental cost refunded :D

So yeah, I will be getting PAID to write about PLAYING GAMES AND WATCHING MOVIES. YUSH.

Also, got a new dog, but NOT the one I was talking about. My mom adopted a new dog, and I see her for about 3 days a week. The dog is a Yorkshire Terrier, and His name is Oz. I don't have a picture of him, but he looks a lot like this:

I'll probably get my dog once school's out.

Add that to all the behind-the-scenes work I've been doing on the temp steam and stuff related to it with DY, the sonic short I'm working on, the Temp anthem I plan to record this week AND schoolwork, I've got a pretty full plate.

Yet, still, life is awesome. :D

as i said congrats you could never go wrong with them they are lovable little shits(and i mean it affectionately)
 
Sounds like an awesome job! Are the articles like, copyrighted for them? Or may you use them as you wish? Cause you should post them on the temp too!
 
I'm looking for a similar job myself. God knows I need to get out of retail before I go crazy and kill everyone with a label gun. So if there are any similar positions for a fellow writer like me, gimme a shout :)
 
The articles are only licensed for the paper and for their website, though I could probably link you all to the articles I write there.

As for positions, they're a local paper still looking for writers and are in desperate need of a teenage cartoonist. So, if you live near Lancaster PA feel free to apply to the "freestlyle" section of the lancaster intelligencer journal. http://freestyle.lancasteronline.com/

It's okay for me to advertise the paper itself here, though, heck, they're essentially begging us to talk to anyone and everyone to try and find more writers and a cartoonist. You have to be a teen as well though.
