I'd like to start off with a link to an excellent article by fellow writer Kyla Matton, Philadelphia Chromosme, Leukemia and Stem Cell Transplants. The Philadelphia chromosome, called Ph, is at the root of writer and friend Rissa's leukemia diagnosis. She's now receiving chemo treatments along with a drug that targets Ph. Keep her in your thoughts as she breaks out her super powered ninja moves on those leukemia cells. Rissa, if you read this, keep on smiling that sweet smile, we loves ya girl!
Thankfully, the haziness fled today. I think it feared the wrath of Karen and decided the time was right to find another home. I got some titles done today, made some moola and can go to sleep satisfied with a job well done. My mind kept wanting to veer away from the subject at hand, but my muse ruthlessly yanked it back again. Thank you muse for rockin' the writin' today.
I'm hoping tomorrow will be as good....no that's not quite good enough. Tomorrow will be better than today with just a little more to show for my time. Doing two articles at once again proved to be a workable idea. A few days ago I worked on two articles at once, I didn't get bored and the writing of them went faster than normal. I put it to the test again today and met with success again. Multi-tasking seems to be the way to go for me. It keeps my mind active. Most importantly, I'm not bored! This will only be applied to DS articles because writing for Y!CN isn't boring. Off I scoot to flesh out one last title before I close my eyes for the night.

Freelance Writing Family - Helping Rissa
There's no better way to kick of this blog than to highlight what a freelance writing family is about and to help a fellow writer and friend as she battles for her life against Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
Rissa went to the hospital a bit over a week ago in a lot of pain. We hoped it wasn't serious and she'd soon be on her way home. A few million vials of blood and bone marrow biopsy later, the news came, she has ALL. Within an hour, her freelance writing family at Y!CN had mobilized to begin raising money for the massive medical bills she faces down the road. By the end of the day and into the next, t-shirts had been made, blog posts written and articles posted for Rissa.
While her family struggles to absorb the news and doctors do what they do best, her writing family is spreading the news far and wide on ways to help her. Helping offset medical costs will lift one thing off their shoulders so they can concentrate on getting Rissa better and kicking cancer's ass. Stop by Be A Match to find out more about ALL.
I'm proud to be a part of such a huge, loving freelance writing family. The people I've met are some of the best in the world. It's comforting to know there are people who will do whatever it takes, use their skills and tap contacts to go to bat to help a fellow writer.
If you'd like to help Rissa, here's how:
Take a minute to visit the Give Forward website where a page has been made for Rissa to donate money toward her medical bills. The goal is $25,000. Stop by and donate, no amount is too small.
Twin Trinity Media is donating $1 for every physical book sold and .25 cents for digital downloads. Payments from sales will be made daily and three of the books for sale are building royalties for her.
Purchase a Leukemia Ninja t-shirt or a Freelancers Stick Together t-shirt. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Rissa. Love & Hope Leukemia Support t-shirts are available. Check out what the back of it says. Thanks to Randy Barefoot for them.
Courtesy of Circle 8 Writers, you can purchase a Cancer Doesn't Scare Ninjas t-shirt. All of the money from the sales of Cancer doesn't scare ninjas items will be donated to Rissa.
Stop by and check out Rissa's Y!CN Profile. You're bound to find an article or two you want to read.
