I haven't checked in for a few days and it's been much longer since I submitted or had something to say. If adding a list helps encourage new writers, CC should probably do it, even though I think it may sway some buyers away from those of us who don't submit regularly. I think the morale benefit to...

This is entirely different from plagiarism. See, I'm caught in a paradox because my existing article is written for the mortgage industry and the request is for the boating industry. The *subject* is credit, which is virtually the same in both industries. The buyer can't purchase my article and chan...

lol I'm frustrated enough that the Internet has changed our profession from one where clients paid hundreds or more for advertorials to one where they get them for pennies on the dollar -- and the writers feel lucky. I draw the line where writers whine when they are held to a higher standard. Here's...

I never mind you weighing in, C. :) The article in question already sold on CC for usage. It's written for a different industry than what the requester needs. This is a public request, by the way. What I want to do, is rework the article to suit the new request. I'm concerned CC's guidelines won't a...

Hi, Ed.

I've got an article that I could rework a bit for a current request. Since it's only eligible for usage sale anyway, would it pass CC's criteria if I submit a derivative for usage only with full disclosure to the new client?

Rebecca, I hope you're around long enough to read this: From reading your Web sites, you seem to be a talented writer. Hey, I'm a talented guitarist but there's a reason I don't make money doing it -- I don't have the patience to learn the mechanics of the craft. Anyone can self-publish an ebook or ...

I couldn't remember where you posted it in the forum, Ed, but the game made NBC network news today. Apparently, the site has raised enough to feed 1 million people for 1 day. Hey, it's a good start!

Could you repost the link?

Welcome, Lora and Roberta. Don't forget to read Ed's blog.

In my opinion, you shouldn't commit yourself to a fixed price for all future projects when there are so many variables. Sometimes buyers hold "long term" projects in front of us like a carrot. That's okay if both parties benefit but, more often, buyers get the message that it is okay to ex...

Haha! A brain drain for grain. Thanks for the link, Ed.

Once you reach the threshold, you'll get paid automatically in the next pay cycle. Make sure your payment info is correct under 'My Account.'

I just read through some of the recent threads to find an answer for you.

It seems you might find the reason in your rejection email. If you didn't get an email, it's probably delayed -- it happens sometimes. And, I guess you need to save as text if you're using Works.

Hope that helps.

Hi, Beelissa. Welcome to CC.

Check out the blog, the guidelines and the forum. Lots of good info! Enjoy the ride.

Ok, who's the party planner in the bunch? Fall is a great time to visit Sedona. Not too hot; not too cold. The leaves are spectacular.

If someone will coordinate so I know how many wanted to come, I'll look for some group rates.

Sedona would be great!! Just say the word and I'll find some deals on rooms and tours for everyone.
