About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

Middle-Aged Clarity
In middle age, don't burden yourself with too many "shoulds." The most exhausting thing about this stage of life isn't the responsibility of caring for aging parents and young children, but a life held hostage by countless "shoulds."

For Freelance Writers, Content Farms Aren’t a Thing of the Past
I’ve been a professional writer since the very early 2000’s (as in January of 2000). I moved to full-time freelancing in October of 2010, and part of what kept me afloat was writing for content farms. If you’re not sure what a content farm is, rather than giving you an online explanation, I want to tell you what I know of them.
