It has been embarrassingly quiet on my end of this blog and for that I deeply apologize. It has also been a very long summer for me with two separate week long stays in the hospital for acute diverticulitis. The cramps from this illness get pretty miserable when my body is digesting food and sometimes I am totally bedridden due to this pain.

The doctors have tried antibiotic treatments but that hasn't helped any. I follow a strict diet but still no relief. On the up side, I have had plenty of time to catch up on some long ignored books that I have let set idle catching dust. Being a reading addict is how I learned to write so catching up on these books has been very good for me and the doctors said I wasn't getting enough rest anyway so....

I have been trying to get my speed back up on my article writing which I do full time for a person in Calif. Triond has been abandoned by many writers due to severe management problems with that site but I try to swing by there ever so often.

I will try to update this blog more often and again, I apologize for such a long absence.

Progress

It should be payday tomorrow or the next day from niner! I am very excited but at the same time I will be patient until Fri and then I will contact them if I don't see money yet. They take care of problems although they don't actually answer my service tickets but that's ok. I have over fifty dollars in the account now and it will be worth waiting for till firday.

I Backslid A Little Yesterday

Yes, I did it. I only posted three articles instead of four. But it was worth it. Both of my kids came over yesterday to visit and it was pretty neat. Worked my butt off afterwards to get the three articles up but that's ok too.Sometimes family has to come first.

A Hard Week

I've been babysitting my granddaughters all this week and it's been a trial by fire as far as my writing goes. Although I have been getting all of the articles done that I wanted to do, my thoughts stay scattered with drama.

Very Good Day!

Only two articles up today but they were very, very long ones so that will be another $2 in my ninerniner account. I already have $26 in there so I will definatly get a paycheck next week.I'm going for a $30 mark by the 30th of the month..not far to go and I'm sure I'll be able to do that if not more.:)

Going 90 mph!

I've been going at breakneck speed to get my ninerniner.com account built up. We need a new power inverter for the rv that we live in and that's going to cost a couple of hundred dollars.

Finally!

Long weekend. So many articles posted that I lost count..lol. I have $21 in my ninerniner account so only four more bucks to go to have the $25 required for cashout. Oh wait, I forgot, it hasn't updated today yet...might have it all by noon today.

Tired Today But I Had Fun

Only wrote two articles today but that's after grocery shopping and my granddaughter's birthday party. But that will bring my Ninerniner account to over $20!!! Gotta get it up to at least $25 before the second week of next month:)

Catching Up!!!

Wow! What an exciting couple of days it has been since my last post. I have almost $20 in my Ninerniner.com account now so it will be easy to get more than the required $25 in their before the second week of next month. Gotta keep pounding the keyboard though. I can't slack up on the amount of articles that I post to ninerniner and Triond. It seems as though the medical articles that I have been writing are actually starting to help a lot of people and that was the whole point of starting that series. Makes me feel really good, like I'm actually accomplishing something positive here.

Manic Monday--NOT

Two more articles are at Triond and Ninerniner. Looks like I just might make a decent paycheck from Ninerniner for the month after all...lol

Pretty Darn Good Day

I'm sitting here sweating like a pig today. It's in the ninties but RAIN IS ON IT'S WAY!! Ninerniner.com's server is down today but I have two articles pending there and three more ready to upload. Damn good progress. I got three published with Triond today..not bad. I know that I won't get rich off of this BUT the money will go towards my etching supplies so that I can get those four other vases done to sell this fall. I do plan to keep writing articles since I am totally hooked on this but I want to get my arts and crafts sold too so I can get the acre of land (maybe two) that I want.

I want to make money in more than one way. I plan to get my arts and crafts shop going as well as making money off the writing.

Another Good Day

Another great day with a very good article posted. So tired though. Just totally exhausted.

Another Successful Day

I got my daily article up to my three favorite spots and am going to bed soon. Don't tell me that I can't make money online and one of the things that I will be doing with my money will be to get a printer AGAIN.

Facebook Hacked!

My Facebook account was hacked today! I don't know why people do this stupid stuff. Just mean and evil I guess. Anyway, that problem is cured now. I posted the articles today that I wanted to do yesterday evening when the internet went down. So now, I'll do more research and get some more articles done.

Wow Today Went Fast

Ok it's nine pm and that crept up really fast. I finally got some time yesterday to work on the novel a bit. Second chapter is going really well and next week I can really make a dent in my novel. Got as much of the ptc done as I could plus I published another article with Triond. I sent one to Ninerniner.com but that won't be up until Monday. That one will bring my total to $11 in my account. It took me six months to make that with Triond but I love them so much.

It won't take much longer to hit my cashout limit with Ninerniner.com since it's only $25 but that's really a lot of money for me right now..lol

Pretty Good Day Today!

Published two articles with Triond, one with Ninerniner.com and am working on one for Suite 101. It's so hard to focus for any length of time with the housework to do.

Taking A Sick Day

I hate it when I have to not do anything but lie around. My stomach is all yucky feeling today so I'm going to rest.

Excitement Today!

I checked my email at a ridiculous time this morning ..4am. I'm very glad that I did!! I found out that my application to Suite 101.com was accepted. I had to submit a sample of my article writing when I filled out the application and I was really nervous that it wasn't good enough, but it was. So I am now officially a freelance article writer!

This is a major coup for me. Suite 101 is pretty picky about the articles that they accept so I am very proud of this huge step.:)

Keeping On With My Schedule

Managed to get my daily article done for Ninerniner.com and one for Triond. I bet that I make more than $1.65 this month! Coming up with subjects to write about seems to get easier every day.

First Day Of June, 2011

I just published part 3 of my article on the Alabama-Coushatta tribe. I remember a lot of these things happening since my dad's family lived so close to the reservation. I need to work on another article for Ninerniner.com as well.
