I'm Rusty Shackleford and I'm a beginning freelance author.
I was laid off from my job in August of 2022. After this happened I had a choice to make. I could find another dead end job that I hated, or I could create my own job that emboldened my creativity.
I started writing on Medium in September of 2022 so I could build a portfolio to show clients that I am capable of writing. What I didn't know what that I would love the Medium platform and continue writing here. I plan on writing a fictional novel very soon. I look forward to sharing it with you.
I live in southwestern Michigan and I have three dogs that I love to death. When I'm not writing, I'm doing farm work or enjoying a classic video game. I also love reading articles written by my fellow Medium authors as well.
