Cell's shout trail with Fuzzy Pepper - Help.com

Hi!

Been working on your book?

8 months. I got 7hrs of sleep. :) I’m feeling pretty happy.

I want to be working on my websites and finishing up some articles. Instead I’m just fooling around on the computer.

It’s always great when babies finally sleep through the night. But…sleeping through the night could only mean 5-6 hours sometimes…lol…

How old is your baby?

Are you working today?

ok. Finally got enough sleep. Baby slept through the night. :)

But it’s still hard to keep on track. I just want to relax and have fun instead of work.

You?

Hey, Cell; how are you ???

Hi!

That would be great! :) My daughter is a little social butterfly; my oldest son is a bit of a shy one; and my youngest is rambunctious as heck!!! Little one drives me bonkers :)

We both have a 7 year old girl! If we lived close by we could have a play date.

3 kids.

Boy, age 8

Girl, just turned 7

Boy, age 4

Yeah, Christmas is going to be a bit different this year, anyway. We were planning on doing a small trip (overnight at a ski resort) instead of gifts…we’ll see how that works out; I have a friend who owns a property management company for condos at a ski resort…might be able to get a cheaper rate.

How many kids do you have?

That’s tough, and right before Christmas…

I’m not up to much, other than just trying to keep from falling apart. LOL.

We’ve had like 12 major unexpected expenses in the last four moths and it’s killin’ us.

Plus, I thought I was preg., but I’m not. Kids are doing their homework for a few more minutes and then have to go to bed ((((whew))))

Aw, sorry he’s gone. That’s hard :(

And, troll posts…ick!

What u up to lately?

Not that great. My husband has been out 2 evenings in a row. And he’s going to be out again tomorrow evening. And I got sucked into a troll post so that was discouraging.

I’m good, Cell. How are you?

How are you this evening?

Thanks!

oooh :) That is a pretty good twist! :)

Not that far yet. It may turn out to be a book. idk, now just a story. But the Dragon Slayer’s a girl. :)

Ooops…story, you said, not book? Still exciting :)

That sounds like a very exciting book! How far into it are you?

I’m also writing a story called “The Prince and the Dragon Slayer”.

Anything outstanding in that “outstanding” is your own definition :) Needs to be done; or outstanding…either one :)

Yeah, that’s me too..working on things that I have put off for far too long.

I read your post about the business partner thing. It’s a good idea, I think, if you implicitly trust the business partner…otherwise, just hire someone when you can to do what you don’t want to do.

I’m ok.

I’m working on lots of things that should be done but aren’t yet.

I’m writing some articles for my websites. I thought about getting a business partner but then ditched the idea.

I’m ok. You?

Anything outstanding like anything super great or anything outstanding like needs to be done but isn’t yet? lol

Hi Cell. Nope. Haven’t worked on it in over a week :s. I need to get going on it; but there are so many things that have been preoccupying me lately.

Are you working on anything outstanding? :)

How have you been doing?

Hi! Working on your book?

Yeah. I thought about homeschooling other ppl’s kids, but you can’t here.

G’night…:)

I homeschool but not my own kid! As part of my tutoring business I offer homeschooling. That is allowed here, you can get your kid homeschooled by someone else. You would have to look into the legalities in your area.

My kid didn’t want to be homeschooled, though I, too, seriously considered it. She didn’t want to lose all her friends.

Night!

Gotta go give my 4 year old a bath….

Hm. I’m getting my Master’s in Elementary Ed. I’m three classes plus comps away from it.

However, the more time I spend in the schools, and the more I have seen, either professionally, as a Christian, and as a mother….the more disappointed I am. I’m considering homeschooling…though I’m not sure if I have what it takes…lol

Or tutoring. I’ve thought about tutoring or maybe even starting a kindergarten readiness sort of daycare…

I have an 8, 7 (as of 9-30) and 4 year old.

What grade did you teach? I did 3rd and 4th grade…

I am kind of in business for myself…I sell Mary Kay; mystery shop (home based businesses); and I’m the financial person in our house, and have purchased some rental properties (before and after marriage) that I maintain. Those are all sort of “being in business for myself…” But I’d like to write a book; make more money somehow…without having to go back to work. LOL :)

I am a teacher but I have gone into business for myself - tutoring and some educational websites.

I have a 7 month old and I have basically decided I’m not going back to teaching in a school setting, unless God has that in mind for me in the future.

As for people stealing your work, well some people have copied my poems on to their websites but I’m not to worried.

You can Google a phrase and find those words on the net.

If a website had my stuff on it and I didn’t want them to I would contact them and ask them to remove it and then threaten legal action if they didn’t.

You are fast! There is tons of work there.

Hm. Maybe I will look that up. We have some serious medical bills that will be coming in soon and I need to figure out a way to make some extra cash :s

I could do a 500 word article in less than half an hour, I think….

As for working for guru.com, you need to pay a membership fee. I made more than that back in the first month. You can easily make $6-8 for a 500 word article. So you need to be fast to turn any kind of a profit. You can however, choose the kinds of articles you would like to write.

That’s ok. :)

I like you and would totally tell you my website but am too totally paranoid. :( Runs in my family. Just if you would slip up and accidentally say my name on here, the record is forever and then stalkers could find me through that as I sort-of have a one of a kind name…:(

Wow! Three finished stories!! I’m impressed! Maybe you are too hard on yourself and they are great…’course I do understand the need to edit.

Sometimes, though, with this book that I want to write, I feel like I’ve bitten off more than I can chew…the story has been inside of me for a long time, though, so I think it has to be told. It’s just a matter of organizing my thoughts into a coherent story and then organizing that story into something a few ppl would want to read….”just….” LOL

Maybe I’ll try to work for guru.com. Is it hard to get a job with them? I know about working for pennies…I do mystery shopping, and it doesn’t pay much at all, but it’s a way to bring in a little bit of income/enhance our lifestyle…and I can schedule it around the rest of my life, so it works.

Can you email me your websites? If you don’t want to, that is ok, too. Maybe I should start a website like that to “get my name out there….” But would ppl steal your work??

Are you a teacher (I ask b/c of the education reference; and making money from it…)

I write Christian poetry.

I write Cristian Fiction, Science Fiction and Fantasy short stories and novels. I have written 3 novels that I have ‘finished’. But now I’m re-writing them because I know they are not as good as they could be.

I worked for guru.com writing articles and getting paid for that. The pay is horrible but it is a good way to get some experince writing articles. Most people your write for there though, you end up being a ‘ghost writer’ like your name doesn’t get put on the articles.

I also ’self-publish’ online. I have a poetry/short story website (this is just for fun and for the benefit of the readers) and I also self-publish articles relating to education on a different website that I have (this is to do with my business and to make money from).

Awesome!! I’ve never had anything at all published, but I have been told by numerous ppl that I should publish. ‘Course, they may be just being nice.

What do you write about…what sorts of fiction/poems?

How do you write articles and publish them online?? That would be a great way to get my feet wet…maybe?

Only had a few of my poems published here and there and read on a radio station.

Never had a story published, yet. I hope to one day. I write fiction.

Oh, I also write articles and I’ve had those published online. (And I got paid for writing them!)

LOL. You know Sans, right? He said, when I told him that I got that much done that quickly, that he read a recommendation that a writer should just “go for it…” :) I can write a pretty good poem in about 10 minutes.

What do you write? Have you had anything published??

Sounds wonderful! I’m a writer, too, but I seem to not get anywhere with things. 27 pages in a week and a half seems like great progress!

I’ve been working on it for about a week and a half. It’s about me, my daughter and my mom…kind of a “full circle” sort of thing…how my daughter is my inspiration and is teaching me to be a better mom than the example that I had. Though that is sort of the “plot” of the book, and that is not fiction…the actual events in the book will be mostly fiction.

How long have you been working on it? What is it about?

LOL….slow :s

I have 27 pages; but haven’t worked on it in about five days…I’m stumped. :s

I’m ok. How’s your book coming along?
