(Re-write of 2017 blog post)
I've always loved writing and have looked for ways to make money writing all my adult life. Finally I found it--creating web content articles, blog info and fillers, for pay.
Sometimes the craving in our heart just needs the world to catch up to it. Now that there is the World Wide Web (Internet) there are multiple opportunities for writers. Thank goodness for technology and virtual work!
Years ago, I started with a simple blog. I began writing it never thinking I would actually publish it, have followers, or get business from it. But I did. Blog writing also gave me the opportunity to release my inner writer. I need to write. I have to write. I have more peace when I write. I feel a sense of purpose when I write.
Since then I have a few other blogs on the go and, for a time, had a website.
If you're thinking of starting a blog or investigating paid writing opportunities, take the plunge. First, get writing. Leave your work to simmer (work that you plan to sell, that is) and go back to edit it in a day or two. This is a start.

(Updating this in 2024, much has changed. Reels, Youtube, Tiktok, and more have replaced blogs greatly. AI has replaced many writers. I don't yet know where I'm headed next, but I'm still going to write because doing so gives me great pleasure.)
