MCardin commented on MCardin's blog post 'Freelance Writing'

I usually pitch a story idea to the editor of the magazine I write for. If she likes the idea, I then write it and send it to her. So when I say I submitted it, I mean I've written the story at that point.

Dee commented on MCardin's blog post 'Freelance Writing'

One big question from you: when you say you "submitted a story", does that mean the story is already written up...or do you have to query first? I'm having problems with the whole idea of "querying". A topic for the writer mamas group here I suppo...

Shameless Self Promotion

Okay - so here is my shameless self promotion of the day.

I have a work at home job that I FINALLY really believe in. I refer people to a company that helps them live a safe, green lifestyle. If you've never heard of the company, they're called Melaleuca, and their products are amazing!

So, I ~~HATE~~ LOATH cleaning the tub. It is my least favorite job ever in the entire universe. Except when I switched to Melaleuca's product Tub and Tile, I was able to do more cleaning (and we're ta… Continue

I know, that seems a little weird, when I have a lot of other people in my life I could have picked, like parents, in-laws, siblings, husband, etc. This morning, though, when… Continue

The downside? None of them have been published yet. I submitted a story to the magazine I write for in November, being told it would be published in the Janua… Continue

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a mom, a fomer teacher turned business owner. My partner and I started a swimwear company after we searched and searched for swimwear but didn't find any good options.
