Roses, Writing and Epiphany

Roses, Writing and Epiphany

Something happened to me over the past year while I was busy sitting on the couch with the laptop attached to the end of my fingers.  I didn’t notice it so much until I decided to get out to smell the roses. You see, while I was busy writing, someone came by and attached 7 [...]

Which Road are You On?

Which Road are You On?

This post was inspired by Ira’s last post, Internet Marketing and Article Writing are a Matter of Inches, where he plainly lays out the two options for internet marketers (and freelance writers). Either you quit or you continue on the road to success.  He’s absolutely correct.  There will be detours along the way, but you [...]

Something’s Different Here

Something’s Different Here

We’re in for a bumpy ride.  I changed the theme (yet again), and am still working on getting it to do what I want it to do. This is just a short post to let you know that you did reach No Job for Mom.  She’s just wearing a new dress.

Oh Man, 400 Posts!

Oh Man, 400 Posts!

I had a totally different post in mind, but when I logged onto WordPress to upload the post, I saw that it would have been my 400th post.  Wow, 400 posts!  I had to acknowledge the occasion.

My 300th Post – Yawn!

My 300th Post – Yawn!

This is my 300th post and it should be profound…It’s not! I knew the 300th post was coming up, but it caught me at a time where I’m feeling a little singed around the edges. Although my November earnings were higher than my October earnings, my residual income was down by a little over $200; [...]

My 250th Post

My 250th Post

Wow. It seems like I started this blog yesterday. My first official post was on March 8, 2008. Well, it really wasn’t. You may or may not know that this blog started out as a static website. I later transformed it into a WordPress blog. The upside to the transformation process is that I can [...]

Time to Remove the Clutter

Time to Remove the Clutter

I was about to backup my computer for my semi-annual reformat and software reinstall which helps to keep my computer running smoothly when and I stopped and took a picture of my desktop. One picture is worth a thousand words. The Word.doc icons are all articles that I’m in the process of writing. Some of [...]

Put on Blinders and Keep on Writing

Put on Blinders and Keep on Writing

Sometimes you have to put on blinders to become and remain successful. Learn to selectively ignore what people, TV, radio and the newspapers are telling you. The World’s Reality All you need to do is turn on a TV a look at the front page of the newspaper to know that these are seriously challenging [...]
