I really don’t consider myself as a real wrtiter because I did not take further studies about it.  But I guess because I was too timid growing up,  my way of expressing myself was through wrtiting.

I remember making my firt journal entry back in 1983. The reason?  I fell in love!  It was not the right time and my parents would surely kill me if they found out.  I kept it from my friends as well.  The less they know,  the better.  So every little good memories were just written on the journal.

My last entry was on the day I gave birth to my eldest son in 1993.  I felt that being a mom would be some tough job that doing what I want needs to step back. I had no regrets.

In 2010,  I was introduced to online jobs.  Although my first couple of jobs were either chatt support or as Team Leader for different campaigns,  I was given an account to become a Social Media Manager. Part of my job was to write blogs for Australian clients.  That was the time I was reunited with my first love— writing.  From then on,  I started sesrching for sites where I can earn while I do what I love.

I have not become too successful because there have been sites that closed down and did not pay me.  But,  I did make some copywriting for a local web developer and also made the product description insert for a local perfume.

How has writing helped you?  How often do you spend time online to write?

@Jentleheart  I could never understand why blogging was such a rage. I started a blog 7-8 years back, didn’t enjoy blogging then and stopped. My first online writing site was bubblews and I was regularly writing on it for more than a year till it stopped paying. After that, I started another blog and started writing regularly there. Almost a year back, I started writing poetry and fell in love with poetry. I again became active on writing sites. I have now converted my blog into a personal website spiritualboosters.in and I am regularly posting there.

I started to write when I was only 7 and I literary won an every contest in my school.

I started to write for money in high school and never stopped ever since.

I spend 7 hours daily commenting and writing post online at 4 different sites.

That is why it is called Time Consuming Job

I don’t sit and chat the whole day at home.

I have chores to do, food to cook and laundry to hang out.

I had started blogging since 8-9 years ago.

That was the first time I knew what blogger dot come was all about.

I never made the cash out until now.

USD$100 is too far away for me to reach at Adsense.

Hence, I started to venture out from blogger to Hubpages and Bubblews where I really started to earn money.

That is the time when I found my new passion and new friends virtually.

I won’t be retiring that early.

Would you?

@Rapid Blue Wow! You started quite young!

@peachpurple 7 hours a day?? It’s almost like a full time job. I remember you were there at bubblews and I have found you almost on every writing site I have been on…Small world 🙂

@jentleheart writer writes. If you write, you are a writer already. It has not something to do with a degree alone, but it is called passion and breathing. This week was the worst for me because I can’t log in in here. I always wanted to have a niche or venue for writing. I love that I had found one that pays, and that is LB. I started writing when I was young. I have a crush and I put it on my journal, just like you.

While I was 11, I started writing novels. I even rewritten a movie script. Then I never stop writing on my journal, I became consistent and when I became busy with school, I stop writing. And then I write again. Writing is an activity that makes me happy. I know I felt exhausted lately with work and travel not because of those itself, but because I fail to share it to the world. I need to express myself and I need to live with it.

Never stop writing, for writer’s write – that is my motto.

@ Grecy Garcia  You have written novels too? And you never thought of getting them published? May be as an e-book? You should explore self-publishing to get your works published.

You definitely live up to your motto. I know that you are a prolific writer. I know how hard you used to work at blogjob and used to write so many posts everyday. I have seen you almost at all the writing sites and I often wonder, how you manage all these sites along with your daily job!
