I have been a stay at home mother for over four years now, if I include pregnancy, and I have been looking into many ways to make some money online. The way I found many of the places that I write for on the Internet was just through researching for recreational sites. I had become a member of a large number of forums before I ever thought to make money online. I have been blogging since at least 2004. I started because a friend of mine invited me to join up since all my buddies from high school were there.

One day I was introduced to Blogitive, and from there my love for blogging ads just blossomed. Blogging itself is not just about throwing a post up on the Internet. It’s much deeper than that. I see this as a medium to hone my writing skills while chronicling my life, loves, joys, sorrows, and interests. Sure, blogging for profit is a bonus, but it’s not everything. Whether or not I ever began writing for profit, I would still have a blog that I update on a daily basis or even more often than that. I love writing about my son’s journey through learning and the tech news that is out daily. I love sharing information on my struggles through depression and bipolar disorder. I hope that one day my blog entries will be seen as a helpful medium that has touched people’s lives in a deeper way than just being some page somewhere on the Internet.

I could never really envelop my passion for writing into words. I have just begun writing at least once a week for a writer’s guild on Vox. I have a biography that I am trying to write and many poems in my mind’s eye. It is hard to do but it’s the work I love. I am a writer. That is me. The quality of my work is more important than the quantity of posts. If I only wrote once a month I would want to know that it was my best effort…that people would want to read it and love every word.
