E-mail Website Back Carrie Pepper The words "for hire" bring to mind many thoughts.  I spent many a year as an "employee," working for others, loathing the structure, the breaks at precisely 9:00 and 3:00, lunch always at high noon.  At each and every opportunity, I would leave the building in which I worked and quickly make my way to the courtyard.  There, I would sit in the sun for my allowed time, among huge planters of sweet, blooming jasmine, continually formulating plans.  Plans of how I would escape and create income on my own time, with my own rules.  Little did I know, I had that opportunity at my fingertips - literally - all the time.  So, to me, "for hire" means I am here to create wonderful things with words.  I will put all my energies into creating the perfect piece, ferret out ideas and photos, dig, network, research, until I get just the right piece of information to make a piece of writing the best I can make it. I put no boundaries on my abilities, but prefer to stay away from highly technical writing.  I can, however turn technical jargon into more easily understandable language. These are some of the projects I have done, and some I am working on currently.  They are only what I have done.  What I am capable of, is, I believe, limitless:     * Freelance articles     * Business letters     * Testimonials (for web content)     * Short stories (non-fiction)     * Short stories (fiction)     * Resumes     * Memoirs     * Editing     * Other (open to new projects)  All articles by Carrie Pepper A Declining Economy Tastes Better with a Little Gravy
