Congratulations, Kristen!
Have you ever wondered what it was like for friends of insanely talented people to watch their friends climb up that ladder of success? I’m one of the fortunate ones, folks. I get to witness Kristen King, one amazingly talented young woman, achieve more in one year than most of us could hope for in a lifetime! Kristen has successfully started her freelance business after leaping headfirst into it from a secure, full-time job that was equally impressive (medical editor for a major medical journal, no less!). She’s juggling full-time freelancing AND working toward her master’s. It’s an insane amount of work (judging only from my own stint as a FT editor and FT undergrad), but she’s pulling it off beautifully. And she’s finding time to create a name for herself at a national level – Kristen was just named finalist in the Writer’s Digest Best Writer’s Website Contest!!
To those of us who know Kristen, we’re not surprised. This red-haired dynamo has no end of talent, and luckily she has an energy level to match. I for one am happy to play cheerleader to such a terrific person! Not only is she a skilled writer/editor, but also she shares her talents with others. Kristen epitomizes the community spirit that all freelance writers and editors should espouse. Please visit her website, InkThinker.
Congratulations, Kristen!! We love you!
She’s such an inspiration, isn’t she?
Lori, your post seriously made me cry. Thank you so much. Love, sister, love.
Kristen
Oh, c’mon, you think she’s a natural redhead??
I’m only kidding, of course. We think you’re awesome Kristen, and couldn’t be more pleased by your success.
Only my hairdresser knows for sure… ;]
Am I the ONLY one here with real red hair? Sheesh! I feel like the minority! LOL!
