I’ve been having a hard time keeping on task lately so we had a family meeting to try to get back on track with our work schedule. I am the children’s primary caregiver in the mornings and Richard takes over in the afternoons. One problem we’ve always had is that, even when Richard’s on kid-duty, the children still come in and ask me for things – i.e. “Mom, can you take us to the pool?”; “Mom, have you seen my robot?”; “Mom, do you think my favorite jeans are in the washing machine?” “Mom! Frank flushed my eye shadow down the toilet!” and “Mom, Max is giving Percy a haircut!”

If you feel something in your book may stir controversy, or bring critics out of the woodwork, don’t let your future critics get in the first word. Protect yourself and your reputation ahead of time by addressing your critics before the criticism begins.

- Thanks For The Leads!

You’ve always wanted to stay at home and write, but can you really survive on an “eat what you kill” plan?
That depends on your determination to succeed. If you have tenacity, you’re in good shape, and, if writing is your passion, you can make decent money online.
First, you need a clearly written daily planner so you will be motivated to move ahead each day.

I’m writing in regards to the amazon.com zshop listings for sellers that sell books. The information for the sellers has a line that states purchase information with a quantity. Does this indicate that they have purchased this quantity of books?

We had four kids, a mortgage, car payments and assorted bills. What better time to become a full-time freelance writer?
I neglected to mention I also had a wife – a very supportive wife – who still remains very supportive. Of course, when I told her I’d be working at home, she went out and got a job.

Our Independence Day holiday was very relaxing. We took the day off, attended the parade and spent time with the children. Ali treated us all to homemade macaroni salad, homemade apple pie and homemade cake (God bless her) and she and Richard cooked hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill.

The following question arrived in our email box last week:
What is your take on e-mail ‘Opt-In Advertising?” I recently received an email solicitation from a large company, in which such advertising was touted as a good marketing tool, because it supposedly involves an audience that has agreed to receive ads (a concept that I find remarkable–I’d never agree to such a thing). Do you have any knowledge of such stuff and, if so, what is your perception of its potential value?

Richard and Angela,
I have been fairly shouting from the rooftops to my writer-buddies that WritersWeekly.com is the best online market for authors who write about writing. I have never received such prompt feedback about my submissions, whether yea or nay…have never been paid as quickly (virtually nobody else pays on acceptance these days)…and you have always been so courteous and attentive to any concerns I’ve had.
In short, you rock.
Warm regards,
Carol L. Skolnick

In-flight publications are a unique breed in the magazine industry. Geared toward the flying public – which is a fairly broad demographic – they offer a wide range of articles, essays and shorts on everything from travel and food to politics and current events. Given this diversity, each publication is still very specific when it comes to their editorial needs.
