Well, I've got some money back now. Granted, its only $2, but it is money. So I guess I'm officially a professional writer, if only by the narrowest of margins.
That $2 comes from the Up Front fee for my Civil War Battlefield article about Wilson's Creek. That was part of a trip I took back in March to a number of battlefields. Since the first one paid out, I guess I'll do the rest soon.
I also accepted, wrote, and got published on the same day an Assignment from Yahoo about my Summer Reading List. Its not bad, if perhaps a bit obvious in a couple of cases. I did think it was interesting how quickly they got it and published it, especially since I've got a couple more articles in the queue that are still awaiting approval.
Something that is annoying to me is that they suggest putting up a Contributor Photo. Which is fine, but every time I try, it bounces and I'm stuck with the default blank slate. Its getting on my nerves, and I don't know what I need to do to make it work.
Awesome! I should get your autograph soon, before you're too uppity to associate with us!
