He told me that writing has become the devalued commodity and is very cheap to get. Yeah. Sigh. Shit. @Barbara,

I had wondered about some of those sites - I'm short on writing time and have to be careful where I invest it! Thanks for the info and advice.

I am in this boat... looking and not getting jobs, selling myself a little short just to get a resume going! I've done a few jobs on Elance, bidding against someone who always bids at roughly $1.00 for a 500 word article every time!! Idiot. Problogger.net has a job listing feature, down at the bottom of the page! Been there, applied to more than a few jobs and, like you, never got any answer! ugh.. this making a living sucks! Sex trade sounds like a surer bet for paying the monthly mortgage sometimes! And, I'm joking, I love writing and find that the more I do, the better I get. You've been a help in that process. Thanks, Walker Perfect!
