"In her diary Anne wrote in April 1944: 'I can shake off everything if I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn. But, and that is the great question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?'"
(I took the above quote from a recent piece on Yahoo called "Book makes new claims about Anne Frank.")
So, I am officially a professional writer! Woohoo! I achieved my goal of getting paid. The article on wide leg khakis was accepted and the money is in my pay pal account. How much you say? Well, what's important is my integrity as a writer and, uh...
Oh, all right. It was $2.80. But that's $2.80 more than I've been paid before! And I am writing more for this same company. In fact, tonight I am going to leave you with the very exciting piece that I wrote this evening on portable wardrobes. :) Honestly, it's really dry. Even boring. But, in my defense, the instructions we are given are very precise and, well, dry.
Stuff that is NOT boring is: the writing group I helped to form and am meeting with! So far we are all women and have decided to name ourselves the "Genuine WriteHers." We meet at a supah cool coffee shop called Genuine Joe's and are trying to realize our identities as real, bona fide, genuine writers. The only set agenda item is that we each write down our writing goal for the upcoming week and hold each other accountable for that. We have inspired each other a lot, and bring books that have fun writing prompts like Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper by Sark, as well as publications we think someone should submit to, etc.
Also I have SO many goals and ideas now that I am overwhelmed with trying to accomplish them all. I want to look into business blogging, complete and submit my roller skating article, continue writing for the boring-direction people, get a facebook page going so businesses can hire me, get on linked in, and so much more!
OK, so here is the fascinating piece that I just submitted, as promised:
A portable wardrobe can be an excellent solution to much needed closet space. Conveniently sized and easy to move around, these units are easy to place in the corner of a room, in an attic, or in a storage unit. Since the wardrobe offers protection for the garments and shoes it contains, there is no need to worry about clothes being damaged.
Portable wardrobes come in various materials and sizes. For instance, there is a Honey-Can-Do forty six inch portable wardrobe for $34.84. This particular wardrobe, or closet, has a frame made of metal covered by white plastic, and can be cleaned with a damp cloth. It has one rod from which to hang garments.
Canvas is another material from which portable closets can be made, often combined with plastic or clear fronts that zipper closed and make it easy to see what is inside. There is a mid range price of these canvas garment holders from around $50 to $90. These tend to include individual slots for shoes, and to have shelves. For example, one brand has a blue canvas wardrobe for about $60.00 and has four shelves.
Other portable clothing storage pieces can be far more expensive, especially if they are made of oak or other types of wood. One such portable wardrobe called Mighty Closet comes with two storage drawers and one shelf. It also has a clothing bar which can be changed into a mobile closet since the mounting brackets are included. This wardrobe has open sides so that clothes are not crammed. Items that are over forty eight inches long can be hung in it. It is priced at $159.96.
In conclusion, portable wardrobes can be made of many materials including plastic, metal, canvas, and wood. They range in price from about $50.00 to $200.00, and can include shelves and drawers. Since they are portable, they can be placed in most any area of a home or storage space. They are an excellent way to store garments and shoes safely.
