Hello everyone - I found this site from a message that was posted on the Writeforcash message board - very glad I did. The writing bug bit me about 2 years ago and it seems to be getting more potent with each passing month. Look forward to writing more, and hopefully learn a whole heck of a lot more - seems there's quite a few outstanding writers here.
Best,

Welcome Bill
Hi Bill,
Welcome aboard. I just joined myself yesterday and am finding this to be a great community of writers.
I submitted two articles yesterday that were accepted and I am looking forward to seeing how they might sell.
I have been writing for BellaOnline as the sewing editor for a year now. So, I guess the natural progression was to continue to develope a freelance writing career. Can't quit my "day job" yet...but one day maybe.

Welcome Bill
Find yourself a chair and make yourself at home! CC is a friendly place so if you've got any questions, feel free to ask - there's always someone with the answer.

Thank you everyone. I have a question - do you post articles here based primarily on customer requests, or do you write things that interest you and hope for the best?
Best,

Articles
I do both Bill. I have articles here that are reprints published elsewhere, I have articles that I've written and never got around to finding a place for, and I've articles produced in response to requests.
I'm a freelance writer, and currently quite busy so I don't get to address as many of the new requests as I'd like. When the requests come in, it depends what my workload is that day whether or not I can take time out to research to write an article on spec. If it's something I can write without much research, or something I already know about, I'll give it a go. It's always another article in my file, even if it doesn't sell.

Thank you Katie-Ann. Is anyone here pursuing book deals or does article writing encompass most of the freelance workload? I was curious since that is one area I'd love to explore but wonder about the potential.

ah, books
I have a book halfway done... and would love to be doing more fiction... but unfortunately most of my writing time these days is devoted to projects that return revenue in the short term. 
The best I've done fiction-wise lately has been to sell a short erotic piece.

Hello, everyone! I'm new to the feature article writing arena. I must say, although I've only written 6 artcles for CC, I'm having a great time.
I'm a psychological suspense thriller novelist currently seeking agent representation for my second completed manuscript. I'm also a published short story writer.
As you can imagine, the literary arena can be costly with inkjet replacement, paper, postage and supplies.
The sell of the articles I write for CC will help off-set these expenses a bit.
It's amazing to me that a writer can be paid for their TIME and KNOWLEDGE without having to scour the market in search of a home for our offerings. The folks as CC seem to gift us everyday with the possibility of a sale.
Kudos to them--and to all of you.
