    Brutal evening, had some discussions that totally sucked but needed to be done. Just.... it sucked. A lot. For both of us.

    Thank you guys for your support, you've all been appreciated whether I acknowledge you or not. Kinda easy to forget to right now.

    Off to get some paperwork done tomorrow and in DA SYSTEM so that I from how they've been talking will be actually working hours before the week closes out.

    I'm getting bits and pieces from Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas, which combines so many things I love: Johnny Depp, Benicio del Toro, drinking, Las Vegas, drinking, Hunter S. Thompson, Terry Gilliam, and drinking.

    One HIT I got a ton of long Lord of the Rings descriptions. Only one I got that was that bad though, most were fairly simple dialogue.

    I wouldn't do them regardless since I don't do writing but that description sounds like it's gonna lead to a lot of rejections

    they want less than 5% copyscape on a sports summary? that sounds....really hard with how many words summaries of a sports game would naturally share like team names/player names/terms for the sport etc

    Interesting point. What does that 5% mean anyways. Because if you have a 100 word article, chances are five words (which is, afterall, 5%) will match! Like "a" "and" "the" lol

    So 5% has to mean something else right?

    Just don't know .... Morrissa is a prolific writer so she may want to chime in...

    Yeah...and he's offering less than the most bottom of the barrel rates for original work - 1 cent per word (which is gawd awful, but it's what the cheapest content mills pay).

    Long story short, should be $1 absolute bare minimum for that.

    Now I'm going to take a break to watch Sleepy Hollow.

    And then I'll probably fall in the direction of bed. Been awake since 5:30 AM.

    It's been a good day for me, in lots of ways. I hope everyone's had a great day!

    I love you all.

    So it's $1 per 100 words. That's the standard, eh? Got it.

    Awww, thanks! Not prolific these days, lol. I've just written for a few different platforms.

    Basically, he's going to run the text you write through an online plagiarism checker. Words like "and" and "the" won't really count much. What it generally looks for is how similar your wording and phrasing is to something else already online. So if you copy too much of a common phrase - "bottom of the 10th field goal" or some shit (yes I'm mixing my sports), it'll flag it. And a simple re-write - "bottom of the tenth field inning" or something, still could flag it. You'd have to really play with your sentence structure and stuffs if what you're writing is kind of obvious/common.

    But just FYI in general, any kind of original writing work you'll find on the web, at its lowest rate (Elance, oDesk, content mills, etc.), will generally pay $1 per 100 words. And that is pretty much slave wages a lot of writers won't touch with a ten foot pole.
