"Some people do manage to get paid on revenue share, but it’s my impression that most don’t. If Ehow works for you, then that’s a real find, Wendy." - Sharon Hurley Hall
"You can be alone without being lonely. I don’t know if I could spend nine years on the road, but it’s nice to get out and get new perspectives and meet new people." - Sharon Hurley Hall
"Thanks for the review. I love books like that, which give you a real insight into places. I’m never sure whether to read them before hand or to keep them till after and see if the author’s views match my own.

"@ Sue and Katherine: Glad it’s working in your favour
@ Michael: Yes, I’ve been thinking about asking to get paid in Canadian dollars, or maybe euros
@Kathryn: thanks. I always feel that it’s a mistake to give all the power to others; I have to do something to fix things too.
@ John: good point; it might also affect advertising income on our sites.
@ Dana: yes, that’s a good position to be in. Let’s hope that those writers also have multiple income sources." - Sharon Hurley Hall
"@ gracepub: I am having fun with the cartoons
@ Erin: sorry to hear that; it happens to many of us at least once
@ John: the net presents both opportunities and threats, unfortunately.
@ George: yes, it’s good to be clear about what you’re worth." - Sharon Hurley Hall

Even if you’re on a business trip, there’s no reason that your layover in Orlando International Airport has to be dull. There’s plenty to do within easy reach of the airport and, yes, that does include Disney. - Sharon Hurley Hall

"I’m not sure why I find it liberating, Mitch. Perhaps because by inclination, I tend to be concise. I think comic strips are a great tool for sending a message without fluff and with humor, so they appeal both to my inner child and my inner teacher. You’re right about the essentials, though. You have to get to them pronto or you lose your reader." - Sharon Hurley Hall
"Food for thought there, Mitch. I find creating the strips forces me to think of the essentials. It’s like writing the lead on a news story; you need to focus on your main point and how you need to get there. A strip is much the same, but in fewer words. It has constraints, but is also strangely liberating." - Sharon Hurley Hall
