This past week has been amazingly different from my old days of blogging. I’ve started redirecting urgent pitches to tips[at]readwriteweb.com, I am no longer on the RWW payroll, and I no longer have the authority to publish at will. The reality is, I just write and they take it or leave it.

I’ve written one guest post on Labor-as-a-Service being applied to Haitian disaster relief. No one read it, but I enjoyed writing it and I’m tickled pink that I didn’t feel the need to write about Twitter or Facebook. I am beginning to understand that I no longer have to ignore my bladder or skip lunch in order to do well at my new job at NetShelter. I still have an enormous amount of respect for full time bloggers and while I love writing, I personally am so much better when I’m not under the gun.
