That's SO lovely, Keanisha! You should indeed be celebrating. Writing on a pro level (meaning, you at least hope to get paid for it) is a very tough slog indeed — but when it does pay off, it's like champagne bubbles in your veins (in a good way, of course).

Yes! I feel those champagne bubbles boiling over and I'm jumpy! This is a special moment for me and Let me tell you Jan its HARD to do. The 10th profile offered to pay me and I dropped the ball because of fear and I just wanted the profile (higher ups) but the 11th profile said "I"m giving you something!" now I have my price break down out for the next potential clients and I can NO LONGER be afraid of pricing but I see what the teachers mean with fear paralyzing your money..

Perhaps in time you'll be able to go to a reader-supported model for your profiles instead of the profiles paying you? I'd hate to think any of your lovely prospects might go un-profiled because of an inability to pay. Not scolding! Just something to think about (and you probably already have).
