I would have to sit down and actually write this site up, but that could be a good exercise.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
As a tech writer, I had trouble for my first two jobs because the stuff I'd worked on was confidential. Couldn't take any samples with me.
I had a similar situation when I applied for this job. I ended up sending an article I'd written for a freelance job 10 years earlier. I think the hiring manager had to check a box marked "writing sample sent in," and that got it done.

Great link, Jesse. Thanks!
I've been using Writer's Market 2010; it's nice to have a comparison.

GRRRRRRRR.....I lost a day's worth of writing when I lost power Thursday night, and didn't know it until a few minutes ago.
It's gone...no autorecover or anything.
FABULOUS. I so have time to rewrite a day's worth of work!

Have you tried searching for words you know are in the article, Erin? Sometimes things lurk as temporary files.

Ginger is wise. I have definitely benefited from this strategy in the past. More times than I like to admit.
Sometimes the formatting is wonky, but having the words back was a great comfort.

Yeah, I combed through it, but I lost power Thursday night while and they got et but good.
I've got some handwritten notes, so it's ok, and my editor isn't in a hurry. It's just a Monday morning PITA...

It is a total bummer. May the reconstruction be peppered with fresh inspiration that makes the finished product even happier-making than the original piece.
