I think it's because I'm too excited to find out the results of a job application that I put in online for freelance writing. If I'm accepted, I basically get my pick of jobs in certain niches and can write whatever I want, within reason. Hopefully my 500 word essay was good enough. I was able to pick whatever I wanted to write about within the 100+ categories and I chose "Family" with the sub category of "Single Parenthood" and I wrote about how it affects a family's economics and stature within the community, plus a whole bunch of other stuff that I can't remember I wrote. I should have saved a copy of it.
I'm crossing my fingers that this works. If not, back to the drawing board for me!
