I made my first blog guest appearance last week over at Piotr’s tech-money-Linux-life-win blog. If you’re interested in reading my ramblings on taking the first steps to freelance writing, you can click right here and read the post. It’s accompanied by an interesting graphic, which I’m having a hard time deciphering. It’s either a spotted praying mantis or an out of focus fountain pen.
What prompted this philanthropic content for Piotr’s wayward blog, you might ask. It wasn’t exactly philanthropic. As you can see at the end of the post, there’s a nice little link to my new project, Write Translation. I wasn’t exactly sure how to go about getting traffic, until I remembered the obvious. Piotr’s blog is a) cool, b) trafficked and c) relevant.
He was kind enough to write up a guest post for Write Translation, which you can also read (and simultaneously increase my Google Analytics hit count) by clicking here.
In case you’re curious, Write Translation is a little project dedicated to all those non-native (English) writers. Those people who are legitimately skilled at stringing together words, just…in a different language. There’s a problem among writers, native and non, that ends up with clients expecting a 5,000 word article for two bucks. Honestly, it hasn’t gotten that bad yet, but it’s getting there.
So, Write Translation is made for all those wordsmiths that just can’t English. With luck, it will help them English gooder. At the very least, it’ll be fun.
As a final plus, I have learned to spell – but not yet pronounce – Piotr’s last name.

Thanks for the post Becky! We’ll get to work on pronunciation soon.
The article is pretty good and performing rather well! Thanks!
