RE: Application with Fabewriters

Vic,
 
Thanks a lot for the nice email reply. For writers like us, it uplifts the spirit. But I have to keep on surviving as a writer so that my "fighting" form will still be around to write and think creatively (in your words, "out of the box")...a fighting spirit. Did I get you right...P50.00 per article of 400 words?
That is just about $1.10. Can You not up the ante?
       As for my taxi anecdotes, may I suggest if you don't mind. What about putting a regular column on my taxi stories similar to the Philippine Version of the "gimikero" FHM? That is more
duable and practical if you are putting up a magazine in the USA or Philippines. My taxi stories will give your magazine an inducement for intended customers to buy it considering the explosive and sensational matters which I have gathered for the past 5 years of riding a cab in the Philippines. In fact, if you have a movie director or movie screen writer, we can make it into a movie?
       If you reconsider the amount of your price per article, I will call on the muse to inspire me to write more "out-of-the-box" articles. Otherwise, I can hardly get to the MRT Line for a quick ride to my interview appointments.
        Thanks a lot. Hope for your reply.
 
Jun C.
