Life in Space.


Have just had an article published on Factoidz. It describes most of the planets and moons within a 20 light year radius from Earth, that might support life. For once I did some serious research. Did not use all of the many facts and figures I'd compiled, for fear of information overload and too long a piece of writing. Am quite proud of this piece. Shame picture of Europa, Earth and Moon did not take. (See to left - from NASA via Wikicommons). A couple of spacing errors too. But still happy. Here it is:




19\1\11: That's 47 Views (and counting, at 23.12) on Factoidz today, with 2 Thumbs Up (Votes or whatever)! Nearly always do well for views on Factoidz!
1\2: Have posted a follow-up article on Triond, using ALL the facts I researched, more like a list. See:

On Freelance Writing etc.


http://writinghood.com/writing/writing-freelance-for-love-or-money-by-finding-clients/ - a fairly recent Triond article that got lost on my table tennis page. There is an interesting "overlap" between "content mills" or "content farms" writers and "Freelancers" who actively seek "clients" to write for. Some internet sites offer both types of work. Generally the freelance writers do better financially than the "millers", but they feel that they are being undercut by them. Some freelancers are rather snobbish about these "millers", and some nasty stuff has been written by both groups about their perceived "rivals". You have to be careful what you say about all this! Nuff Said.

Triond: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly | Writinghood


Triond: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Writinghood - am quite proud of this one. It is fairly comprehensive I feel.

By the way, my Google Adsense figures are (Totals): 1,320 "Impressions", 6 clicks = 59p (91.86 cents). about half of this was earned in November 2010. I assume most of my Google earnings were from Triond. Not bad when my actual Triond Total is 02.12 dollars.

Please Drive Safely | Musicouch


Please Drive Safely Musicouch - Ever seen that safety advert where a little girl gets hit by a car? Click blue for my take on it. It is a mini-mini script! Don't expect anything sensible however.
