Description

Hi, I’m Laurie and I’m one-half of LM2 Freelance. My business partner, LJ, and I are embarking on the journey to becoming successful freelance writers. Officially we are hoping to launch at the beginning of 2009 but I’m starting our blog now, because we really want to cover all of this experience here. The blog will be for our business and in one aspect it will hopefully help us market our services, but it is also here to share the roller coaster on the path to self-employment and to hopefully provide inspiration to other would-be writers or entrepreneurs.

We live in Canada and have been friends for over 15 years. While we share a passion for writing and words, we both have our own reasons for starting this business. I’ll let LJ share her story with you in her own post whenever she finds time, but for now I’ll just tell you a little about myself.

I’m a stay at home mom of 3 lovely children and while I love being home, I am driven to do MORE. I have always felt a need to have a career and make something of myself. I also am a huge reader, I go through so many books it’s crazy! Thankfully I mostly get them at the library, or I’d need to win the lottery to support my habit. Being a voracious reader has given me a wonderful appreciation for the skills and talent needed to succeed as a writer. Thankfully it has also given me a pretty great vocabulary and a virtually unlimited knowledge base (I read everything from romance, to historical novels, to non-fiction books!) I’m positive that this will help me write articles, blog posts or whatever you need, in a manner and with the right information to really grab your audience.

I can’t wait to get started!
