I said something nice in the wrong place. That doesn’t surprise me. Happy Monday everyone, I think it is time to shovel a little more snow before it gets really dark outside.

Here's another one. Complaining about low rates is a recurring topic, so... Three cheers to Writerfind.com for taking a stand!

[...] over at her blog Freelance Writing Jobs. The challenge if you choose to accept it is to, “Say something nice.” Not an easy task. I’d much rather whine, rant, or better yet sleep. Everyone I know is going [...]

Deb, Thanks for the challenge. I'd have posted about this anyway, but your post inspired me to get it done today and not procrastinate. I've posted about Frames for a Future, a picture frame auction going on at this week to benefit children with AIDS. The auction is being hosted by the American Foundation for Children with AIDS, one of my pro bono writing clients. You can find the post here.

Hey, I’ve been lurking for a long time, but I had to contribute to this. What a great idea!

I just started a new blog about being a mom to a baby (lots of positive and negative things to say): http://longnights.wordpress.com/.

I love this site!

Me? Say somthing nice? Gee, Deb, you’re really asking a lot of the Screw You! queen. ;o) I have, however, risen to your challenge and posted a job request … and there’s not a single “Screw you!” therein.

Just discovered your site and am looking forward to recommending it to our audience in this week’s newsletter. In particular, love the Nov 30 post—we all need to do that year-round.

Well, I already did my blog, and I don’t know if anyone will find it positive. Then again, concepts like “positive” and “negative” don’t normally work on a Taoist like m’self.

I also have a dealine today, for a $240k grant. Tho it isn’t done, it will be shortly. I’m good. Sometimes it’s more about the schmoozing than the actual grant request, and I think we’re already pretty well loved.

Oooh. Might need the change of frame of mind I need. A deadline is up tomorrow for an article that pays pretty well. I ran into one glitch with the photographs (basically they wanted snowy shots of the town above me that are from this year and have never been used before… the problem is that while some of VT has seen snow, the area along northern Lake Champlain is still green). So I emailed the editor twice in the past four weeks to ask what do I do if there is no snow have never heard back. So I tried calling her and left a message but have had no response. So I went ahead took pictures anyway and submitted the article yesterday anyway and again no response. So I’m trying to stay cool, but feeling pretty frustrated at the same time. I have a hard time believing that this company is a scam – it’s a major tourism company, but the lack of response is pretty disheartening.

But I’ll have to see if there is anything happy I can write about out there.

Great choice Deb!

Today, I am re-running an activity that I did a few months ago. I’m encouraging everyone to toot their own horn and comment about something great they’ve done this week for their writing careers.
