So smooth it melts in your mouth. That is the way life can be. Most of the time we have to take the bitter with the sweet. When the two meld together it makes a unique Caramelde that causes us to pause and muse. Caramelde is my place for musing, ranting, gushing and sometimes just pouring my heart out. Take a ride with me,laugh with me, cry with me, get angry with me or just shake your head at the things I do.

Bringing Awareness So We May Help One Another
Many Associated Content contributors have agreed to help one another and others during these trying economic times. Some agreed to write articles while other, like myself have agreed to post to our blogs to promote and increase awareness. There are three pages to this blog, the main blog and two others. The other two pages contain links to AC contributors and their work. Please take a little time to visit these two pages and play a role in the giving by investing a few minutes of your time and read.

WORK ANXIETY
Most people who have any type of work related anxiety typically have a 9 to 5 job at a brick and mortar establishment. However, a freelancer can have work related anxiety as well. I am experiencing it.
One of the places I freelance for pays ok, but the good part is they pay often. However, they expect a lot and the policies are so inconsistent that you can not be confident that each item you submit will be approved for payment. The people reviewing the work each have their own views about what your content should be and impose those views in their edits. As a result, I feel like it is a crap shoot for approval when I submit content.
This is why a feel axnious each time I attempt to write for this place. This month I really need to get over and get to writing for them because bills need to be paid dammit! Maybe admitting this anxiety will help me get it together. Or maybe I should create another strategy for dealing with this place. Let's see how writing the articles the same manner I would for any other client and then tweaking it for this specific client works?
Experiment is on. Pray for me all.
Geesh!
ETA: I don't edit my blog posts they are just raw how I feel at the moment, though I will spell check.
