I am a writer in the Philippine Time Zone and I can write on Philosophy/Personal Reflection, Product/Service Review, Health & Fitness topics.
Here are my responses to address the job requirements.
• Excellent command of English, both written and oral
I would not not associate excellent as a word for my English writing and speaking ability but I have done pretty good so far. My work history and happy clients are proof of that.
• Reliable internet connection, phone service and web cam for conferencing
I would say that my internet service is fairly reliable. I have phone service but I prefer to use Skype.
• Creative flair and originality
Creativity is such a subjective term and I don't think I can quantify it but as for originality, I can say that I do not plagiarize.
• Awareness of audience
I write not for myself but for the prospected readers.
• Ability to accept criticism and use it in a constructive way
You will not be able to please everyone and that includes the boss. You don't like it, I will try to make it better according to the criticisms that are laid out. It is my job to do it the way you want it.
• Knows Wordpress and SEO-backlinking
Wordpress is simple as long as there are no design tasks, I'll be OK. Basic uploads are not a problem. SEO-backlinking is something that I have done but the tasks I have performed for various SEO gurus are compartmentalized.
• Has a portfolio
Check it out at https://www.odesk.com/users/~01f1bab60d773ddcb3.
• Can work without supervision
I prefer to work on a set of rules and go about it without someone looking over my shoulder.
• Reliable, detail oriented, extremely organized, responsive to calls, emails and prompts, and can meet tight deadlines
I am all that but a guarantee on tight deadlines is out of the question. However, a reasonable deadline will always be met.

500 words = 1 oDesk hour = $6.67 (with oDesk fee)
If you find that I am capable, I can start ASAP.
Thanks,
Norman
Additional Questions
What is your passion? Do you have other skill sets you would like to talk about?
Passions change and right now, I can say that it is probably writing, since it consumes a lot of my time, but I would say that service to my family is a passion that will never die. It is good thing though that I can do my writing in service to my family.
SKILL SETS, yes I did write that in all caps, I did that to highlight that I have many but a jack of all trades like me has few skill sets that are at the expert level, perhaps in my case that is due to the compartmentalized way I have been dealt tasks.

Additional Questions:
In 1 paragraphs (100 words), describe what 99Covers.com is about and what you like about this website.
It seems that there is very little to know about 99Covers. From their main site to their Facebook page, 99Covers does not cover much ground on what they are about. That said, we get it right away from the page name and web address - 99covers(dot)com. The description provided on their Facebook page also helps a bit "Get awesome cover images for the new Facebook timeline layout ..." at www(dot)99Covers(dot)com. That says it all in a nutshell but I guess it is also a nice cover for the Custom Facebook Cover Design Service on the blog. Whatever your reason for liking the site you've got to love that they are giving away an iPad Mini.

TASK best tent for oneBest Tent for One under $100
Shelter in a Jiff
As an American who loves to ride his motorcycle on the open road, I have often faced troubles when it comes to shelter and there were times that I could only get under a poncho tied to my bike and pinned with rocks on the other end. This day, while the clouds roamed in, I decided that those days of getting wet and being attacked by various insects must come to an end. I had set aside $100 for a tent that would keep me dry, comfortable and keep the bugs away. I was a few miles from a truck stop that serves the best coffee and mouthwatering fresh doughnuts. Add to that they provide free WiFi access and that is where I will be making my Amazon pick of the best tent for one.
At the truck stop, I grabbed my laptop and headed into the diner and made my way to a table. I turned my laptop on, connected to the internet and made my way to Amazon.com. Before the nice waitress got me my coffee and doughnut, I had already selected three solo tents that would be worthy of the best tent for one. As I sipped my coffee and enjoyed my delicious doughnut, I ran through their features and benefits and here is what I thought about each one.
Amazon’s Best Tent for One on a Budget
List Price: $94.90
Price: $78.21
You Save: $16.69 (18%)
The Eureka! Solitaire Tent is an 8-foot long tent made for one. It has a mesh roof that can be covered in a jiff just in case the rains decide to drop down on you. The Solitaire tent is a two-hoop bivy design that uses durable 6.3 mm fiberglass for its frame. Easy to setup and easy to take down. The solo tent weighs in at 2 pounds and 9 ounces and it fits snugly in one of the saddlebags on my bike. Here are some other specs for the Eureka! Solitaire Tent.
Area: 21.33 square feet
Floor size: 2 feet, 8 inches by 8 feet

Final Thoughts/Conclusion
I know that there would be other listings on Amazon by the time you read this so check them out for the latest deals. The Eureka! Solitaire Tent was an excellent choice that fit well with the budget that I had and the other two were equally packed with features and benefits that fit my needs. I was even willing to spend a little extra but the ALPS Mountaineering Mystique 1.0 Tent (1-Person 3-Season) was 4 pounds which was heavier than the Eureka! Solitaire Tent. The Eureka! Spitfire Tent on the other hand was similar to the Solitaire but the price was higher, so I chose the first one I stumbled onto which was the Eureka! Solitaire Tent. The package should be waiting for me at my buddy’s house a few hundred miles away. Plenty of riding in between and I hope it doesn’t rain.
