Today, as I was scrolling through my Facebook feed, I came across a post that really caught my interest. It was a game where you create the most horrific story you can with just four words. My brain went reeling. There were so many ways to take it, and I found that, depending on what part of my life I… Read more →

Breathing
I’ve recently started trying to be more “mindful.” That is, I don’t push myself. If i’m fighting myself to get something done, and I’m searching for any way to procrastinate, which essentially results in an afternoon of nothing getting done (not even relaxing), I take a break. If I’m fighting myself to not get on Facebook while responding to emails,… Read more →
Writing for Mental Health
The other day, I was perusing my Facebook feed, and an article stuck out to me. The basic idea of this article was that people who blog or journal regularly have a higher level of mental health and report a greater level of happiness and satisfaction from their lives. Basically, writing about your problems allows you to rehash what happened,… Read more →
Holy Cow… It’s been forever!
Hello, Blogjob! What’s new with me? Psh… just about everything. I stopped writing for this site (and all of my sites, actually) because I got pregnant, and I was so sick that I couldn’t stare at the computer screen. I’d literally make my morning sickness worse by trying to type. It was awful. But, that’s all different now! … Read more →
Novel Idea
With National Novel Writing Month (November) coming up, I find myself getting excited. I wanted to participate last year, but a few things got in my way. Plus, I didn’t know about the event until it was already November 1st, so I didn’t have any time to prepare. This year, I am planning to do a much better job. It… Read more →
My Selfish Tendency
As a mom, I feel like I give a lot of myself to my daughter. And, as an army wife, I give up a lot of choices. I gave up my career to stay at home, I didn’t get to pick my college because I moved where the army sent us, and I live far from my family so that… Read more →
BlogMutt: My Experience
I am constantly on the lookout for new writing venues. I want to find the site that will give me the most income for the amount of time I spend there. I don’t like to waste my time earning next to nothing for a ton of research and writing. I’m sure most freelance writers would agree that time is valuable,… Read more →
Setting the Bar Too High
I am a very competitive person, especially when it comes to myself. I like to set goals and surpass them. I like a good challenge, and I get really bummed when I don’t get things done the way I want. This is especially true of my writing endeavors. Since joining this site, I have been writing like crazy. I have… Read more →
Feeling Accomplished!
Awhile ago, I became a writer on a site where you have to pitch ideas to the client, and the client will choose the best pitch. That writer will get the assignment. Then, after you write the piece, it has to go through a lengthy review process between the client and the site’s editors. It can take up to two… Read more →
My Decision to Leave Bubblews
Many freelance writers know about the revenue-share sites. Basically, you write posts that meet the requirements for the site, and you get a certain amount of money according to the number of views your posts get. The money comes from the advertising that gets placed all over the site, including the writers’ posts. Bubblews is one of these sites. You… Read more →
