Re: Do You Stay at Home to Write?

I actually came back to this site because I couldn't find a "real job" (I hate that phrase, lol) that would allow my husband and I to switch shifts. We have an autistic four year old, so there ALWAYS has to be a parent at home with him. I'd much rather write than shuffle prescriptions all ...

Been gone a couple of days

And my password changed? I know, its been a week since I last posted, but c'mon! I'm still alive! Really! :lol:
Seriously, though...if I disappear for a couple of days, will I have to change my password every time I come back?

Grrrr....need to rant (not writing related)

I just discovered that my kid's school has excluded her from the standardized testing because "we have decided to retain her in 3rd grade this year". And she's not the only one-they've pulled this same stunt on five other students that I know of. I think they're trying to fudge their test ...

Yay! Another one sold!

I dunno...I guess I get a little panicky when I don't sell something every day or two. Just thought I'd give myself props, and do a little happy dance.
Hey, Celeste...I'm still shaking my booty, and I got on the list!
:P

Welcome to CC, Ray! I think the income here varies a lot by how much you post and who's buying at the moment. Some of us make a decent income; others, like me, are lucky to pull fifty bucks a month, lol. I only write maybe an hour a day, though, and some days don't even bother with that much. Right ...

I'm from...well, everywhere! I was born in KY, but we moved all over the coutry when I was growing up because of my dad's work. I'm back in KY now, living in Lexington, but I'll probably pull up stakes in a couple more years and move to the middle of nowhere so I can grow my gardens and homeschool m...

Wow, lots of porn spam on the boards

Do you think these idiots believe we can't get a date? How'd they get in here, anyway?
Are we allowed to hunt them down and strangle their little spammin' heads off? :D

I clean. Obsessively. People can always tell when I'm having a hard time writing, because they can smell the Pine-Sol halfway down the driveway, lol! If I really need to write, and I can't form a coherent thought, I'll write nonsense until I finally "get through it". Some of that nonsense ...

Can I request a "hold" on payment?

I haven't hit my payment threshold yet, but I'm really close to it, and I haven't set up my PayPal account yet. Can I request that CC hold my payment until I request it, or do they automatically send out payments?

I'd prefer to write at night, but I've got a toddler and a grade-schooler, so I'm usually in bed before midnight. :( I can't wait until summer vacation; I'll be able to stay up all night! Yay!
Okay. I have GOT to get some work done....
