Bad credit

It is so easy these days to find yourself in a situation where you have bad credit.  It's easier than ever to let mishandled credit cards run up a debt that seems unmanageable.  But it's not impossible to get past that, and to overcome the debt problem.

The thing is, even when you've cleared up your debts, it isn't always easy to get back on your feet and reestablish your good name.  That's where Bad Credit Offers can be of help.  It's a place where you can take your bad credit, and still get started reestablishing your credibility.  You can get a new credit card, for instance, and using it wisely will help get you back to a position of financial freedom.

If you find that you need some help reestablishing good credit, visit today.

Creators' Club

I've written off and on about Sam's Dot Publishing.  There's a really unusual (in a good way) endeavor going on there.  You can join the Creators' Club, and be a part of an ongoing collaborative world building.  They've begun a planet there, building it with words and images.  Each person can build on the others' work, fleshing the world, its places and peoples out with each addition of work.  It is really a fun exercise.

I haven't joined it yet.  I am still reading and learning about the world that's been created thus far... and thinking.  It looks like a lot of fun though, and it will only get to be more and more fun as more artists and authors join in.

While you're at it, make sure and check out Between Kisses newsletter, and support the writers there with your votes.

Lawsuit Loans

I just learned about something.  I was not aware that Lawsuit Loans were available, allowing you to receive a cash advance against the proceeds of your lawsuit.  I went to visit the website, and there it is — Law Max is the leader in helping clients get cash before their lawsuit is even settled.

I really didn't even know that such a thing is possible.  It is amazing what you can learn each day.

I think this would be some valuable information for anyone involved in a lawsuit.  And, if you need to know more, why not learn it from the leading provider of lawsuit cash advances?

Are You Published Already?

Since my poetry has recently enjoyed some modest success when I submitted to various publications put out by Sam's Dot Publishing, I decided to take them as a starting point for where else I might submit my work.  Most of their publications are sold through the Genre Mall, so I decided to see what other magazines and publishing houses are listed there.  I found a good number, and many are new markets to me.  I've begun the research process, and hopefully will find some that are suitable spots to submit my work soon.

I'll keep you posted.

A Week Later

Just a week later, and I received more good news -- another poem has been accepted for publication! This one will appear in The Pink Chameleon, and online magazine, beginning in June 2008.  It will be there for one year.

The poem is entitled "Company," so be watching for it when it comes out next year.

More Good News

Yesterday, I got news that another poem has been accepted in a small-circulation publication.  It will appear in the November issue.

Things are finally starting to go well, and I've had a few works published recently (or soon to come out).  The total has come to 20 poems accepted in the past 2 years -- right about what I was aiming for.  

I've put up a list of my published works at my new website (now still just a blog).  If you'd like to peep in there, you can see how things have been going.  I hope I'll have more good news soon, and that the list will keep growing.
