I have never forgiven myself for choosing the lowest bid on the replacement of my stairs; when I look at them, I am reminded what can happen when one gives a reformed pimp a saw and a hammer.

Why? I think its my thin portfolio. Either that or I am doing something wrong. I have been applying like a mad crazy woman lately to everything and everyone just about and I either never hear back or I get the polite decline. Do I not have enough solid clips under my belt? Do I not have enough relevant samples to send? I’m to the point that I am questioning my abilities and my choice to do this. With so few people willing to pay for a good writer, I can see why so many of us are willing to take whatever we can get. That isn’t to say that its right but from my point of view, I am running out of options, besided being out of work.

Sad, but it doesn’t surprise me. With $5 keyword article requests running rampant, a lot of hungry writers probably drool over $15. As long as they continue to do so, however, buyers will keep pushing the low-price limits.
