It’s interesting to note…

This… have a look at this. It’s something that I learned while I was writing away today.


Cleffairy: The moral here is, folks, it is all right not to be perfect and make mistakes, as long as you learn not to make the same mistake twice. We’re just human, after all.

Coupon Heaven: Coupon Chief

I’m not quite a fan of buying things online. Seriously. I’ll be very honest with you on that. I thought that sometimes, items are somewhat expensive, and I often wonder if buying from online stores is reliable. I don’t quite like the feeling of buying things and waiting for them to arrive at my doorsteps via courier as well. I’m never good at waiting, and somehow, anticipation kills! 🙁

But as of late, after being involved in NaNoWriMo and Script Frenzy, I have been exposed to online book publishing as well as ordering online ML kits where I’m required to make some payments in order to get some stuff to work, and I found myself wishing from the bottom of my heart that I have a discount code or some sort to enable me to enjoy lower prices and rates when I desperately need to buy things online. I wish for this especially when I was shopping for royalty free pictures to be used for my book cover design. I felt that it is not worth paying for such an expensive price for just a simple picture. It’s a royal pain in my PayPal account 🙁

I browsed around and found that actually there are loads of websites that offers free coupons for the online consumers to use, though not all of them is suitable for me to use. Among them is Couponchief.com.

Coupon Chief is one of the fastest growing coupon sites, with over 250k visitors/month. They have over 50k coupons for over 15000 stores, and the coupons are free for consumers to use. Talk about frugal online shopping. Honestly, I never really knew that there are such website out there that offers so many coupons for various online shops in just one database, and best part of it that it’s all completely free to use.

Some online stores really goes for the jugular, and I believe, if you’ve been doing online shopping all these while without any discount coupons during the checkout of your shopping cart, you have been wasting quite a decent amount of money. Trust me on this. I’ve been there, and burnt a hole in my pocket.

Next time you shop online, try checking out Coupon Chief, they have loads of coupons giveaways that will entitle you for discounts for various online shops and boutique. One of the many coupons over there might be the right one for you.

Coupon Chief is a website where you can browse and find coupons, discounts and deals for thousands of stores. The site lets you search for coupons and browse them by stores and popular product tags. All listed coupons are up to date and rated by community so that you don’t have to waste your time on expired coupons.

If you are an online entrepreneur, you might want to check their website as well. With Coupon Chief, you can also make money just by uploading coupons and sharing the savings. You can check it out further in their website on how to do it.

If you are a facebook or twitter user, you can consider being their  facebook fan or their twitter follower as well. They post their updates and special offers frequently on their facebook page as well.

People who practices frugal living often take time to do coupon clippings to save on their purchases. I used to do that when I was still studying in college. I tend to collect McD’s coupons… you know… buy one Big Mac free one Fillet O Fish kinda coupons. I’m still doing coupon clippings, though not McD’s.

I’m quite amazed, actually, that now if you shop online, you can also use coupons to save on your online purchase. Trust me… when you use coupons, you can actually save heaps when buying from online stores.

Cleffairy: Every penny counts. Save up, folks.

I’m going crazy, and Screnzy…

Literally. Going crazy. Insane. A nutcase in the house. That’s Cleffairy the looney fairy for you, folks. January was wild, February was frightful, March is a mayhem, and the upcoming April will send me into a frenzy. Script Frenzy, that is.

Yeah… I’m participating again, though I’m in the midst of something very, very important to me at the moment. A busy life for me is a good life. I like challenges and motivation.

And thank God for Script Frenzy and NaNoWriMo, I’d be thrown into a whirlwind of adventure every April and November for Script Frenzy and NaNoWriMo.

I did it again. I’ve gone and pledge my April for a yet another literary madness that not many would understand. And not only that, this year, I won’t only be participating, but I’ll be hosting literary parties and write ins and online word sprint on weekends.

For those who are a Malaysian Screnzy, kindly check the Malaysian region calendar for updates and infos on upcoming events.

And for those who is not a Screnzy, and had no idea on what I’m talking about, check it out HERE. And if you’re mad enough do ditch your mundane life and join me in this temporary insanity, you’re welcome to do so.

What is Script Frenzy?Good question. Script Frenzy is NaNoWriMo sister program.

It’s an international writing event in which participants take on the challenge of writing 100 pages of scripted material in the month of April. As part of a donation-funded nonprofit, Script Frenzy charges no fee to participate; there are also no valuable prizes awarded or “best” scripts singled out. Every writer who completes the goal of 100 pages is victorious and awe-inspiring and will receive a handsome Script Frenzy Winner’s Certificate and web icon proclaiming this fact.

Even those who fall short of the word goal will be applauded for making a heroic attempt. Really, you have nothing to lose—except that nagging feeling that there’s a script inside you that may never get out.

THE INFO

Who: You and everyone you know. No experience required.

What: 100 pages of original scripted material in 30 days. (Screenplays, stage plays, TV shows, short films, and graphic novels are all welcome.)

When: April 1 – 30. Every year. Mark your calendars.

Where: Online and in person (if you want!). Hang out in the forums, join your fellow participants at write-ins, and make friends by adding writing buddies online.

Why: Because you have a story to tell. Because you want a creative challenge. Because you’ll be disappointed if you missed out on the adventure. Because you need to make time for you.

How: Sign up. Tell everyone that you are in the Frenzy. Clear your calendar. Start some wrist exercises.  Have a word sprint. Have fun and poison yourself with caffeine.

THE RULES

1) To be crowned an official Script Frenzy winner, you must write a script (or multiple scripts) of at least 100 total pages and verify this tally on ScriptFrenzy.org.

2) You may write individually or with a partner. Writing teams will have a 100-page total goal for their co-written script or scripts.
