"Busy, busy," the husband said to me when I asked him if he read my latest Take 25 to Hollister, California post.
"Yeah. But I'm not making any money," I said.
"Well, you're not robbing a bank."
That's why I love the husband.
We're two freelance writers, just minding our own business. Though lately we haven't been good at minding it. Yesterday, I did look at online job ads for freelance writers and bloggers. Is it so bad to say I'd rather earn nothing for writing a post to my blog than get paid moldy peanut shells for researching and writing a tight, comprehensive article? Well, at least for yesterday. I may just be disciplined today.
Yesterday, I spent much of the afternoon checking out the various sewing and crafts giveaways being hosted by Sew, Mama, Sew! I didn't count, but I'm sure there were far more than a hundred bloggers who were participating in Sew, Mama, Sew's Giveaway Day! I clicked through three pages of links for my chance at winning fat quarters, yarn, and handcrafted items. I enjoyed running away for the moment, checking out blogs of talented crafts ladies and dreaming about things I'd like to make. Tomorrow, Thursday, May 20, is the last day for trying your luck, if you're interested.
Needless to say, I found quite a few interesting blogs. Here are some blogs that caught my eye, first by their names, and then by their content. I'll have you know that I am not mentioning them because I want another chance at whatever they may be giving away. Cross my heart. Besides, I don't remember which blogs I did comment on. Go ahead, take a look-see. You know you want to.

I think with the making-money-writing thing, it takes patience and persistence. No giving up, especially with blogs in particular.
