It was surprising to me how many people in his class got upset, even angry at being asked not to turn in any papers with the words can't, have to, should, etc. It was challenging, inspiring and, in the end, life changing for me. It has been 20 years since then and I occasionally need a reminder...

But, as with anything else, you have to pay your dues and do your research. If you look hard enough and are careful about the jobs you apply to, you can really strike it big. I've found multiple writing jobs through oDesk, and on many of them I was actually the highest bidder, rather than the lowest. The buyers who have been around (read: have feedback and payment history) know that THEY get what they pay for and look for talent and skillset, rather than the lowest hourly rate. Another reason I appreciate oDesk is that they GUARANTEE payment. No other freelance outsourcing site on the block offers that. It's so nice not to have to chase down clients for payment! I think the site is great, but you do need to spend a little more than a week or two feeling your way around before you become successful. Once you do, though, you won't regret it.Rebecca Daneaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658914613060742553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138186599640800800.post-34600327893986203632008-12-17T10:30:00.000-05:002008-12-17T10:30:00.000-05:00Thanks, Sue!

When we are younger, our conjuctiva (spelled probably totally wrong) is able to stretch and contract, allowing us a greater ability to focus and adjust on what we look at. However, as we get older, just like every other muscle, unless we keep it exercised, it becomes less flexible. While it is still debated how well exercising our eyes (such as your 20-20-20 method) truly works, I've always figured I'd rather exercise my eyes and find out it did nothing, than not exercise my eyes and find out I could have prevented some macular degeneration of sorts.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, all I meant to say was that I liked the post. :-) <BR/><BR/>By the way, just a disclaimer, I know just enough about the eyes to be dangerous. Hehe. So, take what I say for what it is worth, and then wash it down with a tall glass of water and a lot of research. ;)Jessica S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06714085953569991184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138186599640800800.post-74223842199132797852008-12-10T00:50:00.000-05:002008-12-10T00:50:00.000-05:00oDesk is awesome, highly recommended!oDesk is awesome, highly recommended!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076669604568465378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138186599640800800.post-86790642601400543692008-12-09T21:56:00.000-05:002008-12-09T21:56:00.000-05:00While oDesk seems like it has a large amount of pr...While oDesk seems like it has a large amount of programmers (PHP, J2EE, Ajax, etc.) it actually has a very healthy amount of active jobs for writers, copywriters & technical writers as well (read: non-techies :)<BR/><BR/>We are also oDesk providers and the beauty of their system is that you get paid on time, every time.<BR/><BR/>One of the biggest issues for freelance writers is having your clients go late in their payments.

In fact, my work picks up in a down economy.<BR/><BR/>I find it interesting how many times I get asked "But isn't it scary not knowing where your next check is coming from?" This means they probably don't have a healthy savings account, which I do as a result from being forced to budget because I freelance. I'm surprised how many people who know exactly where their paycheck is coming from don't save it. Their question about my pay also tells me they value job security, which is really a false sense of security these days. <BR/><BR/>So I usually just answer "Not as scary as going to a job everyday I hate and being worried about getting laid off." That shuts them up. :-)Font Finderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11374641642862754827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2138186599640800800.post-69855717381044878202008-11-21T14:43:00.000-05:002008-11-21T14:43:00.000-05:00Hi Sue, I really believe that the current global e...Hi Sue, I really believe that the current global economy favors those of us who freelance.
