Still Learning

Thank God, I'm still writing - didn't lose the "big mo" (momentum) - maybe being aware of it (obsessing over it, lol, just a little) will mitigate its happening.  I dunno.  I just know I want to keep writing.  And I want to make f*cken' MONEY WRITING.  I'm reading e-books galore, signing up for sites, figuring out what I want to focus on.  Still having fun...and still learning a LOT about the online freelance writing business.  And that's a good thing!

The Real Test

Good morning...so I'm always gung ho and all into stuff when I start....the thing is, I then quickly lose interest.  I have a feeling that this time will be different, though.  For one thing, this is the first time I've EVER woken up early of my own accord to do anything that I didn't have to do.  But I get very nervous that I'll drop the ball on this project like I have so many times before.  I'm embarrassed to admit it "publically" (maybe I'll be lucky and no one will read this lol), but on the other hand, maybe that's just what I need - to make sort of a public commitment to this writing, so that I'll be held accountable - or feel as if I'll be held accountable.  


Only time will tell.

OMG - I Just Started A Website!

...and I have no idea what I'm doing!  LOL!  Well, like I usually do with tech things, I'm trying to learn as I go along - I'll admit, it is harder than I thought.  But I think this is what I have to do if I really want to be taken seriously as a writer.  I know when I'm on the web looking for something, if the site looks like it was done in crayon I'm outta there in 2 seconds.  It's an incredibly powerful tool - your image to the world. 
Well, I feel like I'm learning more and more every day...and no matter what happens, that's always a good thing!

I Can't Believe I've Actually Started Waking Up Early To Do My Writing Stuff!

Good morning!  Yes, that phrase used to be an oxymoron for me lol - but since I work at the hotel at night, mornings are starting to become my alone time - and I LOVE my alone time.  I just read in one of my e-books about some listing sites for my articles that might get me work - it looks like they're free!  Well, paying for a job is a scam anyway, of course, so I guess that makes sense - anyway, I'm off to check it out!

My Second Paid Gig

Good morning!
I started writing for this site called "Emerging Cast" - an English/Spanish site that produces videos seeming to cater to the teen market.  They only pay $2 for each one they accept - and I already got 2 accepted!  I know it's a pittance lol, but they paid me for my writing!!!  I am so psyched.  And this is after getting paid $4 for my news/opinion piece on Yahoo!!!  The bad news is, I submitted another of these short articles to Emerging Cast last night and they rejected it!  I hadn't realized something they wanted me to fix - so that part was on me - but they also said it was "awkwardly worded" which I know is not true!  LOL!  Whatever - this is actually a good thing.  I MUST learn to take rejection if I'm going to be a writer, no?  And for me, that fear of failure that's been a huge impediment.  So although it sounds Pollyana-ish, I really do welcome the rejection (sort of, lol).  

I love this writing thing!!!!!!!

So...What Am I Supposed To Do, Exactly?

Lol...oKAY...do I just sit and wait for throngs of people to visit my site?  Yeah, ROYT.  Is this really supposed to be like a public diary?  I guess it can be anything I want...how weird, yet delicious at the same time.  So wonderfully self-indulgent...so exhibitionist-ish, and I'm certainly an exhibitionist... alright, I guess I'll just try to go with this whole thing.  :)

Feels Weird

It's funny - I know people who think Facebook is ultra narcissistic - who cares what you did today, etc?  But I don't agree with that.  Facebook is a giant interaction among a whole bunch of people, with constant give and take.  But this blogging thing...I feel like, with just me writing, how dare I expect people to give a sh*t?  Lol!  But there must be something to this, because obviously the phenomenon of blogging has taken off in a huge way.  
One good thing about this form, for me anyway, is getting used to writing regularly in the public arena.  It's crucial for me, with my OCD, to get used to the whole mentality of "Just Do It"  (thank you, Nike) without worrying about it being perfect.  

So...Hi!

Hey everybody - 


I'm new at blogging, so I just threw my writing links up without having the courtesy to say hello!  And, of course, thank you for checking out my work.  I look forward to having a very fulfilling, entertaining, and enlightening experience both writing pieces and blogging here, and I invite you to join me in this new adventure.       


Thanks again!
