Writing Next Steps & Shingle Hanging

Sometimes you have to say things out loud, put them out in the world to test out how the words feel when you say them, and also to hold yourself accountable.

I can still remember two years ago, I was at Oktoberfest and chatting with an acquaintance. She asked me what I was up to, and I told her, “I’m thinking about writing a book. A book about moving with kids.”

I was just dipping my toe in the water to see how it felt. It felt pretty good. I wrote the book and now people can buy it. Pretty cool how that works.

Now I’m dipping my toe again. This writing journey that I have been on has been so mind boggling.. I’ve tried so many different things, been published in places I could have never imagined, heck, I never imagined that I would be published anywhere besides my own blog.

I started writing about personal growth and awareness and that lead me to humor and to parenting. I’ve tried a lot of different things. Some with more success than others. Some that felt better than others. But every day, I’ve been writing and challenging myself to keep at it. I’m constantly recalibrating trying to make my way and figure out what’s next.

Now I’ve come to a juncture. I’ve decided to officially re-hanging my shingle as a freelance writer. Over the last few months it’s become clear to me, that what I really love doing, what I am really good at doing, is telling stories. What I really love doing, what I am really good at doing is taking something complicated and making it relatable and accessible. And I love to do that with writing.

You’ll notice here on my web site I’ve added a Hire Me page, and I’m actively seeking freelance projects that allow me to contribute to businesses by helping them tell their story.

If you use freelance writers in your business or know someone who does, go ahead and connect with me over email. I can be reached at kalysullivan@mac.com. I double dog dare you.

Thanks for continuing to read my posts after these numerous variations.

You’re the best.

Consider my shingle officially hung.
