Re: Why so low?

The customer offering the low prices was Georged. Most authors who have been here for any length of time know better than to write for his requests or to accept the ubiquitous lowball offers. He's not actually breaking any rules so I don't think CC will ban him anytime soon....it's up to the authors...

Re: I'm new...how do I get started writing?

Charlie, I'm wondering if you accidentally signed up & logged in as a customer. It is possible to have both a customer and an author account. If you don't see the options April mentioned, you are probably in the wrong account.

Re: Question regarding list indentation

They don't have to be one way or the other. Just be consistent within an article.

Re: Yay! A Baby!

Thanks for all the well-wishing and wise advice, everyone! Evelyn - we are using a baby wrap and a sling, and you're right, the baby sleeps beautifully in them. Only problem is he doesn't sleep so well at night :) I've even managed to get some writing done while wearing him and gently bouncing on an...

Yay! A Baby!

Hi dear CC friends, I've been off the forums & not writing so much lately because I was working on another project: a baby :) Baby Sebu was born May 30, healthy, happy and weirdly strong...I didn't know newborns could lift their heads and roll onto their sides! He is a funny & loving little ...

Re: Hello fellow writers

Congrats on your first sale and welcome. Yes, the forums are an amazing resource that many new CCers don't take advantage of!

Re: No previously published works for usage rights?

Are you using your real name as your byline on CC as well, or do you have a different pen name? If both names are the same I'm not sure why they would reject it...unless someone else stole your content and published it elsewhere under a third name. :( Try doing a search for your article and see what...

Re: Usage License - Plagiarism - Kindle Publication

Yes.

The only problem people sometimes run into is if they're writing under 2 different pen names and CC can't verify that the work is theirs. In your case, that won't be an issue.

Re: Hello from Lynn

Lynn, in addition to writing, I do have a savings buffer that enables me to take some time off when I need to. I try not to dip into it too much though as it is quickly dwindling! Also, I do some editing for a poet in Nepal, and a few other random little jobs like that as they come along. Then I als...

Re: Hello from Lynn

Welcome Lynn! I use my CC income to help me afford a nomadic lifestyle. I travel back and forth between Australia, the US, India and Nepal. I haven't been writing as much lately but the nice thing about CC is you can pick it up whenever you like. Nice to see a fellow traveling spirit on here. Where'...

Re: new and confused

That's right - once you've accepted an offer, the customer still has to come back and pay for it (it doesn't happen automatically). Occasionally they change their minds :( but I'm keeping my fingers crossed yours will follow through!
