I used to work as a freelance writer (still do, in a sense -- I really only have one client now). I gave it up not because of the rejections, as most of my family assumed, but because I spent more time and money on marketing my work than I made. (Strangely enough, I received a surprise check in the mail last week for an article I had submitted nearly four years ago!)
Anyway, I've been in the mood to write again, so I was glad to discover Associated Content, where I could submit some of what I write for a small amount of pay. Today, I got an offer for my first paid article for their site. (The article was on frugal living. If you're interested in reading it, my AC site is:

I'm adding that pay ($6.27) plus $3.02 I estimate I've saved by making cards since my last entry to the $20 Challenge. Total so far: $32.51
