I was Published!

Since I retired from the Department of the Army last year, I decided I was going to pursue something that I truly enjoyed. I have always liked to write and was always apprehensive about how to start or what exactly to write about. Yet I had this urge to express myself. I started to look for avenues on teh internet where I could fulfill this need that I had. I found it in writing.

I just had to tell someone I am so pleased. I tried a few of the other websites that were recommended by fellow AC producers and I actually stumbled across a few that I submitted articles to. Now eveyone I know needs a little extra income and I love to write so when I read about the other sites I figures that I would give them a shot.

I could not believe it, I was picked up by a Jamican website for an article that I wrote over a year ago about our vacationin Jamica and they sent me a whopping $28.00 to my paypal account. I wrote the article on Helium.com, that was before I found assocaited content, and they sent me an email around a week ago that my article was chosen for publication.

Then a friend of mine recommended that I look at Demand Studios, so I went there and registered and submitted an article around two days ago, just received a notification that it was picked up. Here I can choose up to 10 articles at $15.00 an article. DOn't know how long it will last but it was worth a shot.

I also write on reviewstream.com, however in the past few weeks they have been rather difficult to work with.

I also went to epinions.com, and wrote ten small articles there, got paid a dollar and article, not bad for an hour's worth of work.

So I believe that I will start to explore other avenues for writing and expressing myself, and also letting off a little steam. It is much better than yelling and arguing with my son.

However I still love this site, I love the people that I have met, the interesting articles that I have read and everything that I have learned from here. I will continue to write here because it is fun and the people are just the best that I could have have the greatest fortune of meeting. Thank you all for letting me be here and sharing a piece of your lives.
