The Reports Of My Death Have Been Greatly Exagerated
About 2 months ago, I tackled about 7 big projects all at once, the biggest being a move across the country to Raleigh, North Carolina. It has been an interesting ride…
I will be open and honest with you: I almost quite this blog. It may have seemed to so of you as if I HAD quit this blog. Over the past 6 months or so, I struggled to find my voice, to find something to say in a unique way. I wanted to be able to ad to the conversation, not just regurgitate what everyone else is saying. I think the last thing the world needs is another link blogger.
A lot has changed in my life. For one thing, I closed my biggest business and entered into the wild and woolly world of freelance writing and blogging for pay. Yes, it is ironic; about the time I quit blogging over here, I started blogging for a living. I have helped launch about 6 blogs for clients now, and regularly contribute content to 5 more. I intend to talk more about this in a future post, so I will provide some links to the blogs that aren’t ghost written then.
For several years I have made some part of my living from writing, but I wanted to see if I could make a healthy living from just my writing and, while healthy may not be the word for it just yet, it is a living. I am managing to piece together a patchwork quilt of income from blogging for pay, from adsense, from Text Link Ads (Google can Kiss My Butt!) and full blown writing gigs, such as articles, web content and press releases. Nothing sexy or stuff you can use to pick up chicks in the bar with, but respectable, all the same.
My dear readers: I know I have jerked you all over the map the last few months. I am very sorry for that; life got in the way.
The fact that I have not lost more RSS subscribers simply amazes me. That I still get linked to regularly blows my mind. You guys are simply the best.
Anyway, I am alive, and I am back! Next time, I will talk more about just what that means, and where I want to go with this blog. Stay tuned!
