Constant Content

Yes, yes, default be gone! Ed, the requests lately have been very specialized and I personally didn't think I could do a good job - or resell them if they were rejected by the customer. I do like the "Called" price point though. I know that LifeScript is getting ready to gear back up again...

I guess the bad taste in my mouth from this type of request is that it is simply fishing for hungry writers which feels slightly insulting. Because the topics are so specific, you won't sell the articles to anyone else, so there are many hours wasted all around. I suppose that's why we get to pick a...

I would agree, EXCEPT this is the third time in as many weeks that this has happened with this requestor. Twice I have written to his large requests only to have them disappear hours later. I don't think I'm going to waste my time writing his topics unless the requests stay up for more than one day....

Yay!

Is anyone else experiencing painfully slow CC? I can't really use the site right now because each page takes forever to load, and often crashes. Is it just me?

This happened to me with the same website. Constant support gave me a google website where you can write a letter and have them do a "take down". It really feels like a violation, I agree. It is a pain to write the letter, but I think we have to make the effort. I just finished writing mine.

Gee, thanks Celeste (blushing). You're well on your way to big things there too - your stories are amazing! I did just read about the Stephanie Meyers sales in Publishers Weekly. Because my first book is for a younger audience, I haven't done a lot of exploring there yet. You have to be really caref...

Seven words for you: Ben and Jerry's New York Superfudge Chunk.

Congratulations! Everyone says it's not a big deal...but it was for me, so

I almost feel bad subbing stuff right now! I picture Ed hunched over his computer, eyes bloodshot, 23 empty coffee cups littering the desk...

I hope you get help soon. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Hi Audra, Are you replying to requests? This seems to be a good way to get sales. Write to the public requests that can also appeal to other websites if the requesting website ends up buying another article. As far as YA goes, I started the old fashioned way - writing picture books (under another na...

Thanks Mary, that's a lot to think about. I think we're all finding it difficult. Summer is particularly hard for me, because like Celeste, my kids (7 & 10) are home all day. Next month when they start school, I'll have 9:30-3pm to work, as well as evenings as long as my hubby doesn't complain. ...

Somebody else did in fact buy my private request. Unfortunately, this article involved a lot of research and had many keywords specific to the client, which makes the extra money almost a moot point as I don't think it can be rewritten with the same information. I think we need to find a solution qu...

This may have just happened to me on an article that will be very difficult to rewrite. This was before Celeste's suggestion, so I didn't have a chance to put her header on my article.

Thanks,
Kat
