At first I thought it was a bright idea. Then I realized, I was ignorantly immature. While ignorance is indeed bliss, that doesn’t stop it from being a big pain in the rear at the wrong times.

He loved the poem (or so I gathered, though he didn’t say it), and wanted me to start working on the articles he had chosen for me to work on, immediately!

Which shows that if you want a freelancing project, don’t give your prospective employer any of that cut and paste junk. Invest time in making a quality, creative, well thought out (or just really creative) peice of work, and then submit it. It’s like blogging. Quality, over quantity.
