The Humble Copywriter (continued)

I contracted for a certain amount, it was agreed to. Then when I submitted the article, he said it was rejected because a committee wanted a PowerPoint Presentation. I had no clue as to what that was (now know it's a slideshow which of course I would have been unable to undertake cause I have done one only and it was very amateurish).

The resemblance between a slideshow and an article is quite nonexistent except they both can be sent by email.

I'm going to a party and forget this happened. It's not like it's a tragedy or anything...

The Humble Copywriter

I suppose it was a rite of initiation that no copywriter escapes. Yes, I've been through rejection, many times. Not a problem, everyone can't like everyone else's writing even if it's because it's priced higher than the level of me paying them to let me write for them. Anyways, I haven't gone unpaid. Once, I almost was stiffed but just in time I published the articles myself in pay-per-click site I use. The 89 cents the five articles have earned for me since was only slightly lower than the promised payment. lol.

More later about the current situation relating to the article I published here to protect myself from someone using my work without payment. I'm ethical and intend to remain that way. I lost $50, he lost his own integrity.

More later about the reduced rate I was offered. I didn't recall putting my writing on the clearance rack so I declined his offer of $20. Was I foolish to give up partial payment? Don't know don't care...

Sunday Dinner

About noon I wrapped up part one of a month long project. With the help of someone I appreciate, I was able to scout out and fix a problem of my own creation. I hate it when that happens. I'd much rather it be someone else's fault. Anyways, part one of a biiiiig project is a wrap...

It's 83 here with a warm breeze. I love the hot weather. Anything under 90 suits me fine. I detest snow but cannot bear to move away from my family one of whom came to dinner. Did I cook, oh heck no, I ordered Chinese. It may seem rude but I told them at the restaurant they had to promise to cook the chicken fresh or I didn't want it. Delicious freshly cooked, reheated tastes like chicken flavored slime. Fortune cookie said, "Fortune will surely come your way."

What I want to know is - good fortune - or bad fortune.
