WritersNotes.Net: Helping Writers Follow Their Dreams Through Information, Inspiration, and Encouragement!
Mortgage Needs Change
If you're a freelance writer or writing contractor who is trying to make ends meet through the sale of your writing and you're also a homeowner, you may be feeling the pinch that rising interest rates can place on home buyers--particularly if yours is a variable rate mortgage. It's also possible that, if you didn't qualify for the best of terms when you first took out your mortgage, but your credit has improved since that time, you might be able to do much better today with a new mortgage. You may be wondering whether you might actually benefit by refinancing--or remortgaging--your home.
First-Time Home Buyers Needs Must Also Be Addressed
You may not even be a homeowner yet, but are perhaps saving as much of your freelancing income as you can with the hope of soon purchasing your first home. You may be concerned about the matters mentioned above, as you mull over the types of mortgages that are available and the possible scenarios you could face after committing yourself to one or another type of home loan.
All Home Buyers Need Security
You may worry that, should interest rates rise again, you might not be able to afford to pay the mortgage on your new home. Again, this is where the knowledge that remortgaging is an available option could make all the difference. You may further worry that, if you should lose your job or become ill and unable to work during the term of your loan--which could very well happen during the relatively lengthy period of time that it takes to pay off a mortgage--you may be unable to make your payments. This is where mortgage payment protection insurance comes into play.
The Thrifty Scot: A Website That Has the Info Home Buyers Need
There's a great deal of information available about such matters which can help you make informed decisions on financing, refinancing, and acquiring mortgage payment protection for your current or future home. One such source of helpful and balanced mortgage information--for those based in the UK--is The Thrifty Scot website. In fact, even those who don't live in the UK will find this site's advice valuable. Check out their informative articles, and if you are not based in the UK, simply use them as a starting point in your mortgage research. They'll help you know what you should look for, how to evaluate various mortgages, and how you can go about finding the best mortgage for your particular circumstances.
Once you've found the best mortgage for your needs, you'll be free to focus on other, equally important things--like writing.
Happy home buying!

DataBanq: The Blog of DataBanq Media Network
The DataBanq Media Blog covers topics such as technology, social networking, and SEO. These are all subjects that affect not only businesses that market their products online, but also writers of online content--or writers who market their writing online.
Posts on this relatively new but popular Internet Blog are informative and well-written. One that stands out in particular was penned by DataBanq president David Bayer and presents an in-depth assessment of the current and future realities of social networking.
Another fascinating topic addressed by Bayer on this insightful Technology Blog is "orphaned pages" (i.e., pages that, due to changes made to a website, no longer have other pages linked to them) and how such pages can negatively impact a website's other pages in search results.
The Databanq Blog presents highly informative content for anyone who is interested in knowing a little more about the inner workings of the often-mysterious world of the internet. And there are few people today who aren't in some way affected by the realities of the WorldWide Web--writers included.
Thanks for reading,
Jeanne

A Truly Thought-ful Blogger
Just a Thought! is a fascinating compilation of David Woon's musings on life and truth. "And who is David Woon?" you may ask. That's a very fair question.
David Woon is an unusually insightful young man who possesses an uncanny ability to cut right to the heart of a topic and thoroughly probe its depths. But there's more. He also has the rare skill to do so with a minimum of words--a skill which rarely goes hand-in-hand with an in-depth look at a topic. This natural-born philosopher/blogger presents his words of wisdom via concise blog entries that get right to the point, discuss it briefly, using some truly original and fascinating metaphors, and then get out. There is absolutely no rambling on this blog, which I admire.
A Truly Purposeful Blog
David states the following about Just a Thought: "The blog contains my short reflections about Life in general which I hope would, in one way or another, serve as a source of inspiration for you..." He also hopes his musings might trigger "some thoughts of your own in the contemplation of the mystery that is Life." His ultimate goal for his blog is to create an atmosphere of mutual sharing between him and his readers, as he puts it, "so that we can all learn and grow together as we strive to leave this world a better place than what it was before our humble existence." What a lofty goal!
Truly Intriguing Ideas
Many readers--as well as bloggers--will be able to relate to his thoroughly altruistic aspirations, since we feel very much the same way he does. These readers will enjoy reading his entries about such topics as spending money wisely by designating certain percentages to each spending category, including donating to charity; enjoying better communication with others by using the "Golden Assumption," "backing up your life" in the minds and hearts of those you've touched and influenced, and becoming a better person through becoming "nobody-centric," rather than "self-centric."
David Woon shares some truly intriguing ideas at http://www.davidwoon.com/blog/, and anyone who will dig back into his archives (which go back to November 2004) will find a great many more philosophical treasures buried there!
Happy digging!
