Deb Ng’s post on her frustrations about writing for search engine optimization (SEO) made a shiver run down my spine. I am so happy that I don’t have to do that kind of writing to pay the bills. It was yet another reminder to me to be thankful that I work as a full-time freelancer doing the kind of writing I truly enjoy. Sure, there are some assignments from nonprofit clients that I slog through, but for the most part, I really do like writing newsletter articles, web content, annual reports, etc. I love helping nonprofits tell their stories. I think I’d rather quit freelancing than be forced to write nothing but SEO articles on cheap refrigerators and pallet racks!
