Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Writing for Peanuts and Loving It

Writing for Peanuts and Loving It:
The Internet is full of words written for no money at all, just for passion. And it's veined with pieces (like this one) written in someone's regular line of work. Now, though, more and more online copy is being cranked out by a hybrid class: people like Papple, happy to serve as ultra-low-cost freelancers for sites that — unlike many personal blogs — actually get readers.

Greasing the wheels are sites like Helium, ThisIsBy.Us and Associated Content, which dangle micro amounts of pay to amateur writers willing to contribute material. Virtually any topic is open, from advice about child-rearing to an exegesis of mood rings.


I've been doing a bit more writing for MousePlanet lately and I find that the more I write, the easier it seems to flow, but when I don't write anything for a long time it seems to be difficult to get the first words out. So I'm considering trying one or more of these services to see if, even if I don't actually make any money, I can do some topical writing that will be reviewed and commented on.
