starting to write with a new publisher!

I've started to write short articles with a new publisher. This publisher seems to be very organized, very methodical, and very specific regarding how they want the articles to be written. To begin, I've picked 3 titles and will write 3 "how to" articles according to a template laid down for the layout. I wrote the first one, "how to interpret your auto policy" and submitted it for review. I'm supposed to wait until the first one has been reviewed and edited so that I will have a better idea of what they want, before I start on the next one. We'll see how well I did on this first one. I rewrote it at least 3 dozen times. Took me hours to get it right, I'm anxious to see if they think it's right.

selling on Ebay

Today I posted 3 separate items on Ebay for sale. Here's a handcarved chess set I posted:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190527448170&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123

My plan is to try to photograph and post 3 or 4 items every week. I hope that they sell! We've got to get rid of all this stuff!  If they don't sell, I'll go to plan B.

Hump Day

Today is Wednesday. Some people say that this is the best day to go grocery shopping. Apparently most people go shopping later in the week, or on the weekend, or on Monday, so stores are the least crowded on Wednesday. And most stores begin their new sales on Wednesday, so supposedly the store will be fully stocked on this day with lots of bargains.

Personally, I hate Wednesdays. First off, the weekend is too far away to think that the week is practically over.  Most weekends, I plan a lot of projects to work on so I usually get started on Monday. Which means that by Wednesday, I should be half way done (probably not going to happen) or I will have run into some form of roadblock that will keep me from finishing the task or tasks. 

oh well. Today is almost over. Tomorrow is Thursday and that's practically the weekend!
