Calissa Leigh Writes

My printers is refusing to print my article outline. Ever since I did weird things to my computer a few weeks ago (networked the internet with other computers in the house, added a new harddrive) it has been finiky. I’m sure it’s a computer error. Erm… as opposed to human error. :p
 Anyway, my goal is […]

I didn’t end up shortening my article at all. I did some editing this morning and turned it in as is.
Now, I’ve completed some other writing assignments, and might have picked up another one. I hate the nonfiction stuff but I plan on using this new assignment to help me land some nonfiction articles for […]

I’m on assignment to write one article. I’m actually very proud of it… except it is too long.
The original request was for minimum 500 word article. I know articles that are too long are often rejected but I’m reluctant to take anything out at the moment, even if it could mean I could […]

Sometimes, when I’m experiencing a slow time in my work, I think about those essay writing websites. On occasion, I look and pine to make $20 a page for writing about history or literature. It’s really unlimited income, as kids across the world find that they could have an easier time at college if they […]

I’ve got a technical article assignment, a few content articles to complete and I wanted to get out a handful of queries before the end of the week.
So what am I doing right now? Writing fiction and playing a game.
I’m such a procrastinator. I know I can’t help it. Somehow I will manage […]

I have a whole schedule full for writing for children’s magazines. I had a plan to submit at least one query per magazine every month.
I am so tired right now! I did write some fiction though. Actually I plotted out half of the novel I am writing and then wrote a few paragraphs. Hey, […]

I think I have a fever or something. It’s supposed to be cold in here but I’m really warm. Normally I am freezing.
I don’t feel bad enough to go lay down.
Anyway, still have the pinched nerve. I was told it would go away in a few days to a few weeks. I hope it does. […]

Yes, that’s right. The left side of my left hand is numb. The start of corporal tunnel? I don’t know but I’m going to have to take it easy for a couple of weeks. That’s tough considering all the work I need to do.
For health reasons, I’m going to have to put my fiction on […]

I am thinking about moving my work at home articles from the other blog here. I do like to write about working from home but there are so many other work at home blogs out there. I am not really *that* into writing about working from home.
The only reason why I am considering keeping it […]

Think your life is bad? As a writer, you run into a lot of funny people. Sometimes you run into true stupid people. Editors don’t pay? Magazine stole your work? It used to be you had to fight the fight alone.
Not any more.
Angela Hoy takes on new fights almost weekly. Need someone to evaluate your […]
