the hunt

I'm sure there's an "Eye of the Tiger"
reference I could make here if I'd ever
seen the movie "Rocky."
(Taken in Chiang Mai, Thailand. October 2010.)

So, I'm back to that old problem of tackling my "To Do" list (always capitalized... so annoying).

Luckily, this time I'm not in a winter-in-Tokyo-induced funk, so everything is definitely more manageable and, at the end of the day, even when it seems kind of overwhelming, I remember that I'm only a hop, skip, and a jump (a.k.a., a short 30 mins on the train) to the City (always capitalized... very cool).

Next up on my things to do is "FIND A JOB!!!" (in ALL CAPS and with punctuation... frustrating, but good motivation).

First things first, if you're out there, reading this (Hello! Welcome to my blog!), and you are looking for an editor (especially one specializing in development economics research with international managing editor experience), please contact me!

Second, I'm looking for all kinds of editing work, including in fields that I've actually had more writing than editing experience. I like writing, I really enjoy it, but I LOVE reading. Now how cool would it be to find a job reading topics that I love too? Not that development economics isn't the cat's (er, tiger's?) pajamas, but, let's be honest with ourselves, it isn't exactly a topic that shows up on the New York Times' Bestsellers List very often.

Third, I'm looking for writing work. I've written for women's lifestyle magazines, Tokyo lifestyle magazines, food blogs, photo blogs, and my personal blog (Hey again, how you doin'?).

Fourth... oooh, gotta run! I'm networking all the time now and the train waits for no (wo)man!
