Snowed Under
Just a quick post to say that I’ve been in the dark ages for the past couple of days and I’m not sure when my power/internet access will return. I managed to find a spot on the floor in the corner of my local Barnes and Noble to gain access to the internet. Everyone is [...]
Computer Stuff (Backups, Reformatting and Upgrades)
After spewing forth words that I care not to repeat here on this family friendly blog, I bit the bullet, reformatted my computer and upgraded to Windows 7. Why the Delay?
EGADS, They’re Home Again…

How Freelance Writing Classifieds Have Changed
I remember just a couple of short years ago when I began writing online, I would search the online job boards for writing assignments. I remember I landed my first “big gig” through one of these sites. If was for a trade magazine and it paid me $525 for a 1,200 word article. Wow, I [...]
I Liked January, 2010…Sort Of
Things seem to be turning around on the residual income front. I’m back on track for hitting the $2,000 residual income mark (haven’t hit it yet, but it’s getting closer). I owe most of my income turnaround to eHow and Suite 101. They had to compensate for my dropping AdSense numbers. Those blasted AdSense numbers [...]
