So, I'll be open for story commissions, soon. I'm going to try to do them short-n-sweet: sticking to Short-Story length and less (6,000 words maximum).

Honestly: I'm facing a near-future loss of my job. The company I work for is probably toast within a month-and-a-half.

I have a house to make payments on, meds that need buying on a regular basis, and I'm over 50.

Many places will not hire someone over 50 ... especially when there are tons of younger (read "cheaper") front-end developers out there.

So, here's what I'll be opening for:

Drabble (100 words) ... $5 ($10 for adult)
Flash Fiction (100-1,000 words [usually less than 750]) ... $20 ($25 for adult)
Micro Fiction (1,000-3,000 words) ... $50 ($75 for adult)
Short Story (3,000-6,000 words) ... $100 ($150 for adult)

Also...

If you need an editor, I am also available. Based on (roughly) 275 words/page and $5.00/page (for short stories) I am also skilled at editing short stories at roughly 4,000 words or less. For larger works, I'm willing to work out a specific quote based upon the size of the writing.[/quote]
