The $3 bandit is back. Got 2 offers today. Anyone else?

Yikes! I honestly apologize if my comments came across as too blunt. I like your ideas and want you to find all the issues the editors might flag, so it gets accepted and sells! You obviously have a lot of ideas and I really think you're well on your way here. Please don't be discouraged.

My paragraph: Processing grief is important and healthy, and part of processing it includes sharing our feelings and thoughts with others. If those grieving are privileged enough to have a close friend or family member with which to share, they are set on a pathway to healing. EDITOR'S NOTE: *** If...

My very first submission here got kicked back to me for "Human Resources." Now it's one of those mistakes I will never make again. On your issue, I agree with the editors on "internet" and with Celeste that it's not a closed subject quite yet. Anyone want to chime in on "ema...

Thanks all. She is a unique kid. I don't want to mislead anyone, though: she's no Cindy Lu Who. After everyone getting a little spoiled with too many toys and being stuck inside a few too many days after 27 inches of snow, and mommy is having a hard time remembering what made both kids seem so cute ...

Oh, and Happy New Year to all! Stay safe if you'll be out on the roads tonight.

While thinking about my hoped-for progress in the coming year here at C-C, I got this fortune in my fortune cookie the other night: "Apply yourself to the basics and progress will follow." I couldn't help laughing. Sure, fortune cookies are usually just broad statements and platitudes, but...

Happy Holidays everyone! I'd like to add my good wishes for everyone's well-being and good sales in the new year. (or is it "in the New Year"?) The best quote of Christmas in my home was when my three-year-old asked on Christmas Eve, "is our chimney unlocked?" I assured her it wa...

Oops . . . I'm so sorry I forgot they only take U.S. writers! My apologies to anyone who was interested who isn't in the U.S. I just started with them a month or two ago, and the process is still the same. Alas, no referral programs, but thanks for asking. You go to the site, sign up and enter your ...

For financial transparency, Textbroker is also good because it pays exactly what it says. It doesn't pay that well compared to C-C, but you get paid for exactly what you write, which is comforting and dependable. Now that I think about it, I get paid less per word sold at TB compared to C-C, but pro...

thanks Eric!

Welcome Kate. I've only been here a little while, but I think you've found a great place to write, as well as a great community here in these forums. This is definitely the best place for your "spec" work when you're not writing for some of the specific outlets you seem to have already cul...

webscribe -- glad you're feeling better

And it's none of my business, but that idea about chronic complainers would make a great article.

Love it Amy! On the other hand, there was one article I sold and the customer changed the title--and it was so much better than mine! Part of the reason was that I think clear titles sell better than cute ones, so I try really hard to keep my titles kind of boring. But finding it online after it sol...
