Just Past the 150th Mark

Your poem elicited a smidgen of a smile, which is pretty good for a grumpy old fart like me.

$30 per story? That pays as bad as being a musician in the age of karaoke. But at least we enjoy our work, eh?

Let's see - a short story - say two days' work - that's 16 hours - $30

Hey I'll pay more than $2 an hour for publishable writings, maybe even $2.25.

Of course, I expect a minimum of 150 finished words an hour.

Don't forget the bennies - underpant stains! Lol

Congratulations on the 150 mark. That's quite an achievement.

I hope to have someday half as many as you do right now. At least that's my goal for the time being.

Thanks J.Q., I'm a profilic sot in waves. What I mean is I tend to write as if manic, and then stop writing altogether until I catch that next "writing" wave. Not sure if this is true of other writers, but this is my cycle. Currently in a "manic" phase so I'll be submitting another flurry of stories soon and leave it to Laurel to space them out.
