I am a noob. I have played other mmorpg's before. I know that I'm not really everyones first choice because I'm new.

I would be willing to do almost anything. I would readily do any unskilled work (dancing, cashier, etc...).

Irl I am a student. I like to write stories a lot. I have a 3.8-3.9 gpa, I don't know if that would help with anything. I know some latin, incase anyone needs a motto or something like that for their buisness. I like to draw, maybe I could draw a design to be used for a shirt or something of the sort (I may be getting GIMP so maybe I could make the shirts). I would be devoted. I am willing to work, and to put the time in.

so anything. I am fairly creative, I would be willing to work, and put in a good amount of time. I would be very devoted. I would work fairly cheap too.

You might want to enable forum PMs.

When advertising writing skills, it is wise to proofread your ad.

"Incase" should read "in case".

"Buisness" should be "business".

"I like to draw," should be "I like to draw;". The comma should be a semi-colon.

The first word of the sentence that starts with "so" should be capitalized. Well, actually it's a sentence fragment, not a sentence.

"I am willing to work," should have a period, not a comma.

Also, folks that want to hire people are often more concerned with what you can do for them than they are with what you need. "I need work" might be better replaced with "Jack of all trades seeks work" or "Eager worker looking for employer" or something that focuses on your prospective employer's desires rather than your needs.

You say you can write and draw. Why not provide some samples of your writing and drawing in the ad?

I apologize. I did not believe that it was necessary to proofread. I assumed that this was informal. I did not expect that someone would comb over my ad. I suppose that you were just trying to help. Maybe next time you should PM me, or ask me to enable PM's for you. I understand that you were trying to help. By posting that, you have doomed my thread. Warn the next guy.

You can edit your post, and I have deleted mine, although you quoted the whole thing for no really good reason.

Your talent is only good as your confidence =) Keep your chin up!

Do you know Scripting at all, or would be willing to try? Or are you looking for mostly 'writting' jobs such as with a Magazine?

Have you held other jobs on SL, or do you mean 'new' for noob? (The word can mean a few things, so I ask for clarification) I still consider myself new though I've been around for several months, lol.
