Life of A Writer

Other than writing for my clients, I've been rewriting my Christian novel entitled Help From Above. The good news is I'm seriously considering posting the rewrites -- a little at a time -- on my MySpace blog. This would allow you to read the revised edition, which I plan to have republished. In fact, you'd actually get a sneak preview for free. The only thing I'd ask for in return is that you'd comment to give me your feedback and/or suggestions. Of course a review would be greatly appreciated as well, but I wouldn't expect you to send me your review until the entire novel has been posted.

Before I go ahead with my plan for the free sneak preview, I'd like to put it to a vote. So, please help me by voting below to let me know if you'd like to read Help From Above without charge, and if you'd be willing to leave a comment at my MySpace blog giving me your feedback and/or suggestions. It only takes a few seconds to vote, and I'd really appreciate your input so I'd know if it's worth my time to make the entire revised edition available for your reading pleasure.

Happy 4th of July! I hope your holiday weekend is fun and safe. As you're reading this, I'm camping with the family. Hopefully the storms their forecasting for our area will pass us by, but just in case they don't, pray that the Lord will keep us all safe.

Now, moving on to the main topic of this post... I would like to know if my weekly listings of telecommute freelance writing jobs has been helping you. I know there are many other blogs and websites that list telecommute freelance writing jobs, but I've tried to make my listings a little different by adding the price the employer is paying, including the topic they want you to cover so you don't have to click through only to discover that topic isn't one you write about, and finally, I also try to keep the penny-paying writing jobs out of the mix. With that said, would you like for me to continue listing telecommute freelance writing jobs each week? Please vote below, and feel free to comment if you like.

Because my future books will be Christian novels I'm working on a new design for my author site. Problem is I'm stuck between two Christian looks and I'm not sure which one to go with. With that said, I'm looking for a little assistance from you. Could you please visit both links, and then use the poll below to tell me which design you like better? I sure would appreciate it.

Note: When you visit the two designs, the links will be dead links, but once the site actually goes live, the links won't be dead. I'm just putting them up this way so you can view them better. I could have done screenshots of both, but I felt the screenshots wouldn't give you the best view.

Next, vote below, please.

I would like to get to know you better so I can write blog posts you want to read. Therefore, over the next few months, I'm going to run polls so that I can get to know more about you. Your responses will help me compose blog posts that you want, because, after all, I write for you.
We'll start with the basics for now and move on from there. To assist me, please take a few seconds of your time to answer the question in my poll, which can be found on my sidebar. Finally, if you have any suggestions on post you'd like to see in the near future, please leave me a comment with your suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
Misti Sandefur
