Greetings, all 
So I've wandered around a few other sites like CC, and after getting pretty annoyed with most of them, I thought to myself, "Hey, that Constant Content thing is getting some good reviews, how about that?" And the rest, as they say, is history.
I signed up last week, and my first article sold for $100 after being rejected once because I forgot to turn on Spellcheck. That will probably not be my only noob mistake. I sold another to a public request, and I have another two longer ones in that'll hopefully get approved and sold. That makes CC my highest earning site to date - and yes, I realise that makes me sound pathetic, but I have a fulltime job too doing stuff that I hate like nothing else on earth, and I can't devote as much time as I'd like to doing articles.
I want to write for a living. This is where I'm starting out.
Okay, so, things I know about - I'm a colossal nerd, so I know all kinds of stuff about computing, gadgets, games and the Internet. I'm into history, and art, and I can read superhumanly fast - like, the complete Lord of the Rings trilogy in seven or eight hours fast. I know a lot about feminism, of all things, and I love cars but I have no idea what makes them go.
I'm into amateur photography, and I just got my first DSLR. My photos are still crap, though.
I started a new blog called I'm Not Buying That, which is all about bad advertising. I'm a graphic designer by trade, and seeing as my main job deals a lot with advertising, this kinda lets me let off some steam.
Yeah, I think that's everything. Hi, my name is Christopher James Garrett. You can call me CJ.
