Re: Taking a break = 3 sales

Oh Celeste, I too feel old. I go back to college next Monday. However, I'm a writing instructor.

Therefore, I wish several o...

Re: review

When submitting for requests, I have found that articles can be accepted in as little time as 30 minutes. It certainly depends on the number of public and private requests in the hopper.

Just a Brief Introduction

Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself as a new member of CC. I’m slowly building a portfolio and enjoying the brief time I've been involved with CC. The submission process here is tough, but it is also satisfying. As a writing instructor, every other word out of my mouth is revise, so I’m glad to...
