Constant Content

Thank you, guys! I'm so amazed at how supportive you all are. :oops: I've used a bit of everyone's suggestions, like the hot water that iamyownboss mentioned or the timer to get up every now and then that mnicol said. Physical therapy has done wonders and I haven't taken any pain medication in four ...

I'm a visual person too. I tried the recording method once and it didn't work for me. It was a very disorganized train of thought and all I focused on while hearing it was how awful my own voice sounded. I actually think better while writing, because it helps me focus more. I'm very glad it works fo...

June has been, so far, a great month for me. I've already sold 5 articles which is almost half of my total sales! Yay! Not only do I appreciate the money, but I feel really motivated. It seems that things are improving after all. It also feels like the movie, Field of dreams: "If you build it, ...

I'm glad to hear things have been improving for all of us since this thread started. My happy experience was last night, when I received two wonderful "Constant Content article sold!" messages. *does a happy dance* Since the thread started, I've sold 3 articles. That may seem little, but i...

Hello fellow writers. I'd like to invite you to join me in Clarion's 2012 Write-a-thon . I'll copy the message from the site: "What is a write-a-thon, anyway? It's just like a walk-a-thon. But instead of walking, we're writing, and instead of making pledges per mile, we're making pledges per wo...

I'm impressed, Jacob. 10 articles in a day! That seems way out of my reach (here I was celebrating that I finished 2 on the same day). Thanks for your advice, Jacob. Maybe you're new here, but you're very prolific and that's the kind of thing I need to learn. BTW, has anyone heard again from MegTheW...

Hi Joy! I think this support group is for everyone who needs reassuring. Well, it seems times are tough for everyone around. I suggest we all keep encouraging each other, even if we don't believe it ourselves. Let's have each other's back so we can move forward, together. I try to diversify as well,...

Hi guys! I love this newbie non-US support group. LOL Iammyownboss, I had a similar experience when starting here in CC. The first article I submitted was sold within 30 minutes and for a big amount! The second one, sold fairly quickly and the third one too. Then, things started to slow down. I thin...

Hello again! I did in fact write an article for public requests and submitted previous ones, but they weren't bought. Regarding writer's pools, I applied over a week ago and I'm still in waiting period, don't know for how long. Do you know how long it takes to be approved? I write my articles usuall...

Hi Meg! I completely understand your frustration. It seems to me that either the writing Gods are upset or it's a very slow time for CC. I don't write as much as you do, but I'm amazed to see that my articles have only a few views. Maybe times are tough and we just need to weather the storm. I have ...

What's your article's target? People in rich countries or people in poor countries? I live in a "third world country" and I don't like the term, because it has been used in derogative ways. I would avoid the term if possible and would opt for "developing countries". It seems like...

Thanks for the answer! Guess I was too late

Hello everyone! I have a quick question here. There was a public request that didn't expire until April 30th, so I submitted an article for it. When my article was accepted (about 4 days later), the request was closed. My question is, why do customers close requests before the expiration dates? Is i...

Hi there! Sure Evelyn! Where do I sign up? I don't log in the forums everyday, but I'd be more than glad to help you smite the spammers! Fleas sound great too, but I think that might be a bit more complicated, LOL. :D I'll send an email ASAP, but will they take a newbie? Might as well try, right? I'...

Thanks again jadedragon! It seems I'm getting the hang of it, hehe.

I feel very hopeful and I'm still trying to organize my writing time with my other job. Writing will slowly become my first job, and then the only one! Can you tell I'm in a good mood today?

Take care, guys.
