After writing copy today about “food-grade silicone molds made without peroxide” I realized how freelance writing can be like acting – it’s about wearing different hats with confidence. I mean, I’m almost like Sarah Chalke (obviously on the left).
Okokok, not. But this epiphany came while watching Scrubs. I thought, wow, the actors are unrealistically believable and they’re not even doctors! An oxymoron! Just like me! I don’t have practical knowledge about the topics I write about sometimes, I just educate myself enough to act like it.
Career similarities aside, I think is clear who is more glamorous at work.

You are so right on about acting the part! As a registered nurse I “act” the part everyday of my job! When I “act” with a sweet amount of wisdom and confidence with a splash of fresh humor my patients become more accepting of the situation they find themselves in at the endoscopy unit!
