My Ego

This week my ego got some feeding, because i got paid for some travel writing, making me an official freelance travel journalist.

I made an internal agreement with myself, that when i get paid for writing i have to spend part of it on celebratory beer, like a really nice boutique beer that i can sit and savour and ponder my meagre achievements at pretending to be a writer.

How much did i get paid, you ask?

....

$25

Ha.

So this is enough for maybe a six pack of xxxx, if i don't want to spend ALL my hard earned earnings on alcohol. Ah... the dilemma's of the freelance travel journalist.....

Here is my article.

I hate your ego. You freak.
Was the $25 in Aust, or American dorrah?
And good story. I feel for Kyja, the poor, vegan thing.

A rip-roaring tale of misadventure! I loved it. You have certainly earned a good dose of ale, and might I say a job well done.
