Lurking Grouchy

Grouchy, I see you lurking over there. Come in and say hello. I haven't seen your snarky comments round here lately.

I swear that's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me.

I am taking a break for a week or so - honestly I was so stressed after putting so much time & work into the Vienna articles and not selling even one, and on top of that not having ANY sales for a while, that I need an attitude adjustment.

I'm doing lots of self-coaching.

And I'm a CC junkie - I'm always interested in what's going on in the forum. Who knows, I might learn something -- it's probably still possible. I haven't taken part in any discussions because I'm sure my attitude would show, and I would earn my nickname. I still love y'all though.

They may sell yet. If I recall correctly, this purchaser is one who doesn't wish to purchase all articles at once. So there's still hope.

I'm sure things will turn around for you soon. It's often feast or famine here.

Don't be a stranger!

Geez Grouchy, those Vienna articles were great, they should have sold! But Ed's right. Forget about'm for a bit, then things'll happen while you're not looking.

When I get down, I write something for me. I just submitted an article on MLM's because I got into a heated disagreement with my sister who is joining one. I've been burned twice before, so I was trying to impart older sister wisdom, but no dice. Still seething, I decided "Hey, I"m a writer.... If my sister won't listen, then I'll tell everyone else's little sisters...."

I doubt it will sell, since it is the antithesis sadly of many "online opportunities" but it made me feel better...

Write an article on the importance of being grouchy!!! (people don't take advantage of you, the cable company comes out to fix your stuff when you first call and doesn't make you try to fix it yourself with a technician on the phone......)

We all love ya Grouchy!
