the commentator on 60 minutes, Andy Rooney died today. I wrote a news story for one place that I write for and they rejected it. Writers sometimes have that happen to them. So I turned around and posted it to another site that I write for. None of my articles ever go to waste

I heard this on the BBC last night. What a shocker, and so soon after he retired too. I'm also a little worried, because he's exactly the same age as my grandfather, and my grandfather wasn't nearly as active, so how much longer is he going to stick around? I know you can't judge one by the other, but at 92. how long is anyone going to stick around?
Right on about not letting your articles go to waste. I would have done the exact same thing.

yep I make decent money writing and I don't waste anything. Yep at that age you know it is just a matter of time. It is really a good long life

Grandpa's birthday is coming up on the 17th, and I just ordered his birthday present. I won a package of pics from Snapfish in the McDonalds Monopoly game, so I took the 20 free prints and made them into pictures to give to Grandpa. I figure he already has everything else. :)

I have done the same thing in the past. One site I was writing for quit buying them so I took all my articles off that site, revamped them and sold them elsewhere. It was alot of work but I enjoyed going over them and making them better. I have even gotten nice remarks on how well written they are. So it worked out well.

yep never waste anything, I recycle them and use them over and over again unless they are exclusive.

Mine don't either. I wrote two for someone at Elance. The guy refused them so I submitted them to ac and got paid $5.10 each for them. Plus the page views pays each month helps too.
