Hey, Everyone!

Fiverr is a clever site where you can buy and/or sell ANYTHING so long as it only costs five dollars ($5.00). I've decided to offer up some of my writing services!

I WILL EDIT ANYTHING, UP TO 500 WORDS, FOR $5
For less than one slim penny a word, I will edit anything you write--up to 500 words! I will check your work for spelling and grammatical errors, and even do "rewrites" if necessary (or, if you prefer, I can simply write suggestions to you so you can rewrite it yourself!) I will edit ANYTHING you write! Fiction, advertisements, letters, or even your "Info" for a social networking site. Nothing is too "weird" for me. Send it my way!

I WILL GHOSTWRITE ANYTHING, UP TO 500 WORDS, FOR $5
Just tell me a few details about what you want to write and I'll write it for you. I have no ego on this one: you'll get full credit for whatever I write. And it's completely confidential! I will write you up to 500 words (that's 1 measly penny per word!) of anything your heart desires: whether it's fiction (no idea is too "weird" for me!), a letter to a friend or someone you secretly admire, a poem, or an advertisement!

I WILL BE YOUR CYRANO DE BERGERAC AND WRITE A PERSONALIZED LOVE LETTER FOR $5
Are you in love? Does the "object of your desire" leave you at a loss for words? Sounds like you need your very own Cyrano de Bergerac! I will write you a personalized love letter (up to 500 words) that will help you express exactly what you want to say. Making that first step is the hardest... So let me make it for you! (Also great for long-time couples who are having trouble communicating their feelings).

I WILL HELP YOU WRITE YOUR BREAKUP LETTER FOR $5
You want to break up with your boyfriend and/or girlfriend, but you don't want to be the "bad guy?" You have a lot you want to say to this person, but are too angry to form words into powerful coherent sentences? You want to tell this person every reason why this relationship needs to END, but fear you'll breakdown and babble incomprehensibly? Let me write your breakup letter for you! In 500 words or less I can get the breakup ball rolling!

If you or anyone you know requires any of these services, please check out my page on Fiverr! http://fiverr.com/users/littlezotz

Until next time...

Not Feeling Well

First of all, many thanks to those of you who have written and/or called me to wish me well. It's true: I haven't been feeling well lately. I've been in and out of the hospital with a string of "illnesses."

Early last month, I had a bit of a cold, but continued to go to work anyway. I was getting more hours and needed the money and I forced myself to keep going even though I kept getting progressively worse. The day before Thanksgiving, Ramiro ended up taking me to the hospital. My cold had turned into Pneumonia. I was forced to take some time off from work. (I haven't been back to work since November 23rd).

And, just as I was starting to feel all the way better (except for a lingering cough--which I've been told could stick around for another two weeks!), poor Ramiro ended up having to take me to the hospital again. With my zero immunity from the Pneumonia, I ended up catching a very bad flu virus that mainly affected the "violently throwing up" and "non-stop diarrhea" parts of my anatomy. NOT PLEASANT AT ALL! Ugh.

I'm out of the hospital now and on the road to recovery from all my various troubles. Except my wallet is a bit worse for wear. I've ended up having to spend much MUCH more than I made when I forced myself to go to work with a cold. And my dream of having a Saving's Account? Well... Maybe next year. I was only a few dollars away, but now I'm pretty much down to the "lucky" two-dollar bill I started out with. I'm trying very, very hard not to be extremely bummed about this and remain optimistic that 2010 will be better money-wise. *smiles*

On the bright side, my Thanksgiving went pretty well... I had Pneumonia and couldn't taste anything (and my diet restrictions meant I couldn't eat a lot of the "good stuff"--it was basically just an ordinary meal for me), but Ramiro came over and my mom's brother and his ex-wife. So that was nice.

And I'm very thankful for all the wonderful people in my life. Especially Ramiro. And my parents. And Ramiro's parents & sister. There are many many AWESOME people in my life, but those are the ones that I'm the most grateful for at this moment. You know that people really REALLY love you when they'll still sit with you when you're horrifically throwing up. Thanks, guys. I love you all so much. <3

Anyway, that's pretty much what I've been up to lately. Just...being sick. You haven't missed much! haha.

Hopefully my next entry will be something more fun!

Later.
