Original--- Ah, yes, I Remember Them Well . . .
Back when I was in journalism school, I used to gobble down two Big Macs and tons of fries while I was on my way to an assignment for the local newspaper. Those were good old days, before fat grams were discovered. As to writing for money: As a full-time freelance writer, I can tell you that many do it for "fun," as a part-time job, and they are willing to work for pennies. Many just want to see their names in print. That really makes it tough for those of us who make writing our livelihood.

At least you're getting paid to write.  I take it the bounty is much higher than blogit posts??  *grin*

Congratulations, Original.  I was surprised at Constant Content's requests for 500 words for $10 - $20.

Good for you!

That's cool!  Someday--maybe I'll get there, too!
