Starbucks has WiFi! Yay! I mean, Boo!

Published by Tamsen Butler at 7:15 pm under Other Musings Edit This

I’ve already revealed to you that I like writing at Starbucks because I can’t get access to the Internet.  No Internet equals a more productive writing session. 

The other day I got a Starbucks card and registered it online.  Guess what? Now I have Internet access through the AT&T WiFi.  A part of me is like, “Thank you!” and the other part of me is like, “How dare you?” The one place I could go and enjoy some coffee while not having any hopes of connecting to the Internet has betrayed me.  Or, they’ve blessed me.  I’m so conflicted.

By the way, I’m writing this at Starbucks right now.

I would like to think that I could just stay off the Internet, but if I know it’s there I’ll access it.  After all, there are jobs to apply for, websites to peruse, and blogs to read. 

What’s a gal to do?

    Where can someone find writing jobs online? I admit I don’t know where to look, but I’d love to get into online writing

    I have a few different wesbites that I check in on every couple of days to look for new work, but my two favorites are AboutFreelanceWriting.com and DemandStudios.com. You have to apply in order to get access to the job listing on the Demand Studios website, but if your application is accepted you’re automatically approved for all the jobs…you just have to choose them.
