[Ipg-smz] Not the greeting I was expecting ...

[Matt Heusser]

I see the content bubble as huge for people with writing skills. I /am/
asked to metaphorically sell my soul more often than I was when I was doing
pure journalism work, but I have not had to in order to pay the rent yet --
but I do occasionally ghostwrite and say "do what you will with my position
here." :-)

Thanks to the bubble, demand is, what? 10x? And there may be 10x as many
writers, but how many have the skills? 2x? How many have the subject matter
expertise? Another 2x? What is the overlap with those two? It's back to the
professionalish, I thought ...

That's not a typo. I'm probably still more of a consultant-subject matter
expert slash writer than a writer slash consultant. Which I am okay with.
