Project Brainstorming

I am considering working on a project for a travel agency in Greenville. Last year during the homecoming festivities, I met the owner of this company, and he suggested that I contact him about possibly writing a grant for him. Although I have neither seen nor spoken to him since last October, I would like to take him up on his offer. Moreover, he mentioned that he knew several people around Greenville who he could possibly introduce to me. I see this prospect as a great way to start on my project while also networking within the technical writing community.

Another idea I have considered is doing some volunteer writing/work for local non-profit organizations around Virginia. Since I plan to move back there after I graduate, it would be a great idea for me to start meeting people in that area and get experience to build my resume.

Lastly, I randomly met this older gentleman at my parents' church who said he may be interested in hiring me for some contract work. It would be wonderful if I could contact him about my project and get paid for working at the same time.
