Use It - Or Lose It...

I'd like to offer a suggestion to writers. If it's at all possible, try to write something EVERY day. Unfortunately, my (seasonal) job has kept me from submitting anything for the past month or two (we're in the busiest part of the season) and now that I've finally taken the time to start writing ar...

Re: "And" in a Series - Help?

To me, the fact that Ed can come to us and ask for suggestions is one of the things that sets CC apart from any other company on the internet. We're damned lucky to have someone like him working FOR US!!! (and when I say working "FOR" us - that's meant as a compliment that can't be stresse...

Re: Getting older articles sold...

Thanks for the all the suggestions! Somewhere back a few months ago I thought I saw a post that said the keywords didn't really do anything - that they were for some other purpose, so I've not been doing much with keywords (which didn't make a lot of sense, but what can I say?) Anyway, I'll obviousl...

Getting older articles sold...

Celeste (or anyone else who can answer), You've been around long enough that you've probably had articles that were written some time ago that are no longer getting any hits (views) When that's the case, is there any way to get them "back in the saddle"??? I don't think changing a price or...

Re: Title Change

I have to agree on this one - being able to change the title is something that's really important. I really hope TPTB will consider making this something we can change on our own - I know Ed doesn't seem to mind making the change for us, but I think some of us are "reluctant" to ask - we a...

Re: Waiting

You might want to think about sending in another article. Public requests move through the review process pretty fast - and who knows what might "pop-out" about the same time...

Another "Top Gun" Graduate...

After 3 months with CC, I've finally graduated from the "Top Gun" of school of writing! Over the last 3 months I've had 5 articles approved and this morning I sold the first (of what will hopefully be many more!) At times it's been a little "disconcerting" watching people come in...

Re: Google elected me as a Bionic!

Okay - I guess I need to come out of my cave a little more often... (what's a "Bionic"?) (that was whispered so I don't look like a total idiot) - (and while yer at it - what's a Nexus One? - sounds like something out of Star Trek...)

Re: Question on a Public Request

Thank you Debbi (and the others who replied),

I'll go ahead and start writing - I'm actually looking forward to writing this one - even if it doesn't sell...

Thanx again,

Re: Question on a Public Request

That answers half the question - I still wonder as to the "Fiction"

Does anyone know if we are allowed to use fiction for a public request when it's suggested?

Thanx,

Question on a Public Request

There's a public request that states "Explain a time when you perservered in spite of your fear of the unknown" - the request also states that fiction or non-fiction are acceptable. I thought that writing anything that is either a personal story OR fiction was not allowed here on CC - is t...
