Well, Thanksgiving went well. Nice to have friends and family visits. Now that it's over, it's back to the blogging and other online endeavors. I've been trying to keep up my "Just Saying My Piece" blog as well as a few other things, but thought I needed to get back here for a brief update.
I cannot say I've been doing a lot of article writing lately, though I have submitted a few. I have also been toying some lately with fiverr.com, where I offer some minor 'digital content' services for $5 (each). It's a lot of fun, though it's not a 'get-rich' system.
I've also had a stab at Quirky.com, where I submitted some ideas for inventions I've thought of over the years. None of mine drew enough attention from the 'Quirky Community', and they've all lapsed into the archives now. It was fun, and I still participate there sometimes (Quirky pays small amounts for participation and 'influence', too). It's a great site to learn about some new (and often very clever) ideas for products that might be coming out some day soon.
I have not done very much to update "My List" (scroll down to view), so that remains a work-in-progress. I've shared it with a number of my LinkedIn network (and others), to help them get going in freelancing. Not that I'm any kind of 'expert', but I do know how to find information, and that's what "My List" really is all about.
I've also been pretty busy uploading some of my original music compositions to my new Google Play Store. My music is not what I'd call 'traditional' or even 'normal'...it's more 'one-of-a-kind' stuff, y'know? I created most of what I've uploaded many years ago, and had recorded it using some basic home equipment. In order to upload it, I had to convert it to digital format (MP3, wav, etc.). That takes time, unfortunately. But, I did manage to upload quite a few songs. Who knows, right? It's a big world out there...someone might even like my stuff enough to download (and pay for) some of it!
I'm just sayin'...

"MY LIST"
Updated September 1, 2012
I've been getting some recent requests for "my list" of online writing sites that I've been using, or at least have been checking into with the intent to use, for submitting articles, graphic designs, and other "digital content"...for revenue (in most cases). So, I decided I would post the list here. Of course, it's a 'dynamic' list, so it is always 'subject-to-change'.I've been playing the online writing game since I retired from Corporate America at the end of '06...I've written for many article submission sites as well as through some of the freelancing sites; and I'm continuously on the lookout for new opportunities.
My "current" list includes some sites that I have submitted written content or bids with, as well as some I have not yet submitted any content or bids with, but feel they are worth further review. I cannot say for certain that every site on any of the lists is completely "credible" at this juncture, since the list is simply a copy of my own "work-in-progress" list, so some of the information needed to ascertain any site's credibility is still un-vetted. Also, you might see some duplicate links in the lists at this site.
These are sites that I have at least "looked into", and ones that I feel are worth further investigation and/or further commitment. Some, I have simply become a 'free member' with and have not yet submitted any content. Some, I have submitted some content with but have not yet reached 'payout' levels. Some, I have submitted content with and have actually been paid revenues.
Here's my "current list"

Well, here it is, nearing the end of January 2012, and I notice it's been too long again that I did very much real updating here. Very sorry...no real acceptable excuses...just been getting busy with too many other things. Other sites, articles, my zazzle store (http://www.zazzle.com/w1z111/), and a few other things too.
I have discovered a few more article submission sites that I've signed up with, and I've submitted a few articles with some of them. The freelance writing gig is still in quite a "lull" for me, with regard to getting enough pay to justify the time and effort needed for quality research and writing. Too many freelancers living in less costly places who can work for less per unit rates are, in many ways, changing the online writing dynamics.
On the flip-side of that, there is also a very real move afoot by some of the mighty powers behind the Internet (Google, et al.) to demand top-quality content that has proven its merits based on high-falootin' algorithms and web wizadry that these biggies use for operating the Internet at large.
Anyway, I'll leave some links to those article submission sites I mentioned; hav-a-look! Hope some of them can be of value to some of you. Good luck!
