    I am imaginative with a felicity for finding the right words for the right occasions/texts/ideas. I have a fairly good vocabulary in English and like to express my ideas, imaginations, thoughts, or opinions in writing. I am a voracious reader and fairly well read. I have heavily been into the public speaking field, debates, discussions, and dramatics, though not lately.

    I know copywriting with visuals is the backbone of advertising industry, and I feel I could do well in this field sitting at home, thinking things, and coming up with the right words and ideas with words to match.

    However, I have no experience whatsoever in this field but definitely would like to get into it and given the opportunity, I am game for it. Please tell me how. I know nothing of bids and such things and kindly do let me about it, though I will make use of ‘discussion board’ and ‘How much should I charge for my freelance writing services’

    I am 53 years of age and know quite a bit of life and times. I have and could use all of this in imaginative writing/write ups.

    Thanks a lot!
