The Plan

Yes, I've got the plan. Do you have the plan? You know the one that you had before and you reorganize it and this time you are going to sit down EVERYDAY and WRITE.

I am.

You heard me, I'm going to sit down every day and write. I don't care if it is one blog post, a post for every blog of mine, a poem or a paragraph...a list even. I am going to WRITE.

I had the strangest dream this weekend. Pretty much strange dreams are not foreign to me. Especially if I remember them they are for a reason. Before I had time to even investigate my dream's meaning, I took action to purchase a program (more about that later) that will help me to organize my writing and get back on track. Sometime after that I researched my dream that spoke of me losing control. Oh, I was relating alright.

I was relieved that I had already done something to take control even though I had not recognized fully I had lost it.

If you want to be a writer you have to write every day. I suppose I have, business emails mostly, but my other writing has fallen along the wayside and I am hurting because of it.

When does your writing hurt?

Writing for BellaOnline

Some days you pen in vain, some days you do not. On days when I am working on my BellaOnline sites those are days where I feel I am contributing to writing. I’m site editor for two sites at BellaOnline, Daughters and News for Kids.

As busy as my life gets I have a hard time if I have to think about giving up either of these sites. Although it is not a paid site exactly, it is a site that gives back so much more to its editors. It has community and a very supportive atmosphere. It is a great way to build up a writing portfolio and gain exposure, not to mention meet great people from writers like you or potential clients.

They train you to manage the site and during each tier of training they add more training courses and allow direct you in ways to earn money on your site through a shop, Amazon’s affiliate program, putting together an eBook on your topic to sell, and advertising throughout their site.

Although it is the number two online site for women, men editors are allowed. They always have a number of sites open and I have to give them a plug and say if you are a visiting writer who would like to write on a particular topic they have available then consider joining us at BellaOnline.

Happy Mother's Day

I thought I’d have nothing to say, but then I have to celebrate those small writing successes. Actually this was a big one. I successfully updated all of my blogs today. I was spreading the Mother’s Day greeting on all my blogs. Certainly there were a few other places I would have loved to write but to update all my blogs in one day, one twice even and Penned in Vain on top of that, is a great success.
