RRD#@>     I think that when people find out you have a computer and that you'r
RRD#@>writer, they start looking for ways to rope you into doing a newsletter!

I think you're right!  I always have folks who want me to do newsletters
or campaign brochures...and don't quite understand when I tell them I
don't do a lot of free work any more (the Chamber newsletter is kind of
a part of my day job...we choose to be active in our Chamber, and that's
how I chose to be active--figuring it would do me more good personally
to produce a nice newsletter than to organize golf outings <G>...but
it's a "volunteer job".  The campaign stuff I've done for friends has
been just a favor for friends, but I "retired" once I found a paying job
writing for the newspaper).
Doing any sort of newsletter can be a very frustrating job...and I've
refused to take on any other newsletters at this point.
OTOH, if someone makes me an offer (a paying offer, that is)... <g>

RRD#@>There's a conspiracy I tell you!  :-)  But then again, doing WWR and the
RRD#@>newsletter for the club has gotten me an offer from a new company to do
RRD#@>newsletters for businesses for $20 an hour so I guess all that practice c
RRD#@>in handy if you like DTP.

You remember the story of how I parlayed my newsletter experience into a
job with the newspaper, right?  Guess you just have to make sure you
weigh the advantages of doing a newsletter and exploit that experience
when you can!
