A few days ago I ran out of work and sent out an offer to my client list. Well I have been working frantically ever since. I just completed a project that I under bid on. This wonderful buyer offered to add $10 to my pay. He is one of the good guys. I put so much into my writing and sometimes someone notices. Why are copywriters undervalued. Must be the dollar writers in India. Well anyways I appreciate this nice guy in Kuala Lampur or is it Lumpur.
On to 5 pet articles and then one guy who said he had a pile of work for me - he meant it. I turned down an offer to edit but hope to fit in some party information next week. Tomorrow I party no matter how much work is put on hold.
Life can be good. Seems like I can Christmas shop without going further into debt.

NOTE TO J.G. who sent me a notification of change of address
Hi J. Emily. I am very impressed with your blog. I lost your new email address and can't get through to you via your blog. Would you please send the new one to my perowlifick@yahoo.com or perowlifick2@gmail.com. I have some comments of a personal nature that I want to share, but privately. Thanks.
A Little Agression Can Be Good
Yesterday I ran out of projects. Oh well a writer is supposed to feel rejected. Trouble is I love the writing. Being paid for it satisfies me. I did write my comment article on Barack Obama's election. There I was wringing my hands and thinking "woe is me."
I decided to send out an email offering my writing to all my current clients. Instead of thinking I am so memorable that they should all be offering me projects I accept the truth that there are many talented writers (of which I count myself one) and many write cheaper than I do. Well the response was excellent.
Today I'm doing a sales campaign. Tomorrow I have a 5 article project about pets, I did one previously from the same buyer and loved it. Then I just got an email this morning saying someone had "a pile of work for me."
He is sending it right now after making sure I was still interested. I feel really refuvenated as a writer. Opportunity does not come a knocking because there are too many writers willing to write for low pay. Even without many chances to make ten cents a word, in fact few to make .03 cents a word, I'm content. There are many other good writers in the same situation as me.
Besides, I need to start shopping for Christmas and hope to cover all gifts with my writing money.:)

Democrats - Set Things Right
Congratulations President Elect Barack Obama!
Respect for John McCain - True American.
This is a momentous occasion in our country's history. We'll all talk of this to our grandchildren. Obama has been charismatic and when Colin Powell endorsed him - he was a shoe in.
John McCain, always respected as a war hero and senator was campaigning under the shadow of eight years of George W. Governor Sarah Palin is a great speaker yet not seasoned enough in foreign affairs especially - for these dangerous times. To anyone who has not listened to McCain's concession speech, it is a masterpiece of the exhibition of human decency, sincerity and patriotism.
Barack Obama will make errors, he isn't the new messiah, but with good advisors and the common sense he seems to exude I expect him to steer America on a new and safer path towards betterment of the people with the assistance of the people. If this does not propel acceptance and new friendships or at least congeniality between the races - that an African American has been voted in by ALL races - including those middle-aged white ladies who sometimes clutched their purses in response to seeing a black man walking towards them - then nothing will.
Maybe the next generation of people will be assigned a category of American of African descent or an American of German descent. Perhaps people will begin to realize that in spite of the terrorists of the world - not all Muslims have the mindset of terrorists. President Elect Obama leads the parade towards cohesion of all races and groups of Americans. One flag, one people to present a united face to the rest of the world. After all, he's about to become the leader of the free world.
God bless him and keep him safe...

Doing a Website
"Dear Sam Hunts. I will be grateful to write for you providing you will direct me in what you want written. It is understood that as most jobs on GAF you will be requiring the writing be on the level of a Franz Kafka masterpiece and will pay me the equivalent of $0.25 per hour. I can't wait to hear from you about all the money I will make. Thank you valued employer. Perowlifick, The Humble Copywriter."
Sarcasm is so purging. I can't hang out with the big thrill being .03 a word. Big enormous deal - and some of them think THAT'S too high an amount. Pointless, just another pointless endeavor. I know good writers who work for even less.
I'll putter through doing the website and it'll be at least fun if not lucrative since I am rather slow and need to do it without benefit of wysiwig.
