Writing For A Living

It's looking to me like I'd be lucky to get $0.25 a word around these parts. Let's presume that I am fortunate enough to get this rate... in order to live at my desired comfort level, I have to make $1000.00 a week.
So... 4000 words. That's four big pieces a week, sixteen a month. That's cake, I can do that no problem... but where to get the work? And who'll pay?

Once you work with the editor, if they like you, they'll throw more work your way.

There's more online, of course, but these two are a start.
Good luck!
