'Waiting' Status on 04/09 sale?

I have an article that shows a status of 'waiting' in my articles. Could you please tell me what this means and why it has taken so long to resolve? Thanks.

Re: Work for hire - requests

[quote="BarryDavidson"]Bill, Here, writing has become fun again. I love to write, but when it starts to feel like a job I don't want to do it anymore. On CC I can write about almost anything I want.... So, my biggest piece of advice is to have fun. When you can wake up in the morning and l...

Re: Pricing of articles - Who is selling for $1 - $5?

JoHunley, Thanks for the advice! I had left the computer and logged but had decided (after a very short nap) to try writing on his system anyway. I'll give Wordpad a shot...I used to use it back in the day....*sheepish grin*...got spoiled with better programs. Maybe someone is telling me to get back...

Re: Pricing of articles - Who is selling for $1 - $5?

I sold one full-rights and one use. I'm not happy about what isn't selling but I don't have a large portfolio and, very recently, my PC crashed. I'm using the b/f's 'puter for now and he has MS Works which is a step back for me...LOL I guess I'm going to have to use his system to write and submit un...

Re: Some Questions

I agree with both of the two directly previous posts. I try to price most of my work at about six cents per word unless it's extremely specific. Also, if I have longer pieces that are not fluff I charge a bit more but never more than 10 cents per word. I still have a way to go before I reach the sta...

Re: Review Times Increased?

I hope it is an indication of things to come!! I would love to have more clients find CC and see the quality that it offers. Translation = more money for all parties. :)

Re: Off to a Good Start

Ed, I hope things went alright regarding the unexpected thing you had to take care of. We all have that happen to varying degrees and I know we can all understand! Thanks for letting us all know that you are ok and you hadn't been abducted by aliens. :)

When is the Editors' vacation over?

Just wondering how long the editors will be on vacation. I've had one article waiting for review since Dec. 18.

Re: Stolen Content Update

I set mine up a couple of weeks ago and, just like the rest of you, am hoping to NOT get any alerts. I'll google some of the text from my pieces just to be sure that nobody has gotten any of my work 'illegally'. Thanks for all the work CC does to help us earn an honest buck or two and to keep it safe!

Re: Payment Changes?

I was very surprised and extremely happy to see that I had gotten a payment! Now I know why. :)
Thank you for this change as it makes it a bit easier, believe it or not, to push for the sales. Knowing you'll see the money every month is a great incentive (at least for me!). Thanks again!!!!!

Re: Are There Any Poets in the Crowd?

LOLOL I understand. I have enough written for a medium-size anthology. I'll always write when the mood strikes but that seems to be less and less these days. Maybe I should get back into it (ie force myself) as you never know what is lying in wait in the darkness of the corners of one's mind.... *gr...

Re: Are There Any Poets in the Crowd?

I can't believe nobody has posted all this time!!! I am a poet and I love the old-fashioned, metered work. It has to have the right rhythm and rhyme at the ends of the right lines. I've written a few off-beat pieces but I seem to find something soothing about the steady rhythm of traditional work. I...

Re: Do You Stay at Home to Write?

I stay home as I have a hard time working. I have mood swings that affect co-workers (no, I'm not bi-polar) and I have a hard time dealing with the increasing lack of work ethic that is emerging today. I have a lot of problems with staying home and writing as I have an issue with always being tired;...
