Spring is here..

As always I'm still writing about various subjects.. let's see I've written about credit repairs, acne, foods that lower cholesterol, and other things that I really can't remember right now. I've been bidding on other projects this week, so hopefully I'll be able to expand my writing skills.

Next week I start rotating through with the retina doctor at work. I've been extremely interested in retina ever since I've been in the eye biz and especially since working at CEENTA. It's a very interesting field with a lot of pathology and causes unknown...

Still my one true passion, even more than retina, is writing. True some of the subjects may bore me to tears even though I say I'll do them- not knowing what I'm getting into- but I still enjoy what I do very much. And I would still love to stay home and write full time. One of these days I will.

Let's see.. Josh does his first official photo shoot tomorrow am at 10.00 (ish). I'm so excited and happy for him. After that we'll have a couple of hours to spare, and then it'll be off to another photo shoot but this one will be more relaxed.

Stay tuned, happy spring weekend.

Beginning of New Week

Let's see.. still writing.. Friday I turned in two pet articles. Saturday I wrote about the basics of vegetable garden growing, one re-write on Liberia and one on Libya. I took off Sunday and wrote two articles on aromatherapy.

I did send an email to the editor-in-chief of Diabetes Health magazine in hopes of being able to write an article for them. I've been in ophthalmology for the ten years or so, and I must say that besides eyes- endocrinology is something I've been extremely interested in. I think I could definitely hold my own when it came to writing for this magazine.

Mom got me this huge 2009 Writer's Market book filled with literary agencies, publishing agencies, and magazines to write for. I'm starting to go through that and see what I can get into. I would still love to write for Bon Appetit one of these days... to see my name in my favorite magazine ever would be the great accomplishment and dream. I would just about frame that article. LOL...

As much as I love writing and doing what I'm doing, I'm slowly starting to realize that I can't make the kind of money I want to make being a ghostwriter. I write the articles but they're not really mine.. they belong to someone else. But writing is writing, and it's great practice... very good practice.. so I'll keep on keeping on.

The Week Is Almost Over

I've been a busy writing girl this week, which is really good for me. I like being able to write every day, regardless of how tired I am.

I've written about a variety of subjects this week: Monday was depression, Tuesday was inspiration for women, Wednesday was hypertension re-writes, today I was supposed to write about pets but was asked to do two more hypertension re-writes. I just finished the re-writes and am going to turn my pet articles in tomorrow.

Last week I got a little bit more of a bonus than I was expecting, so I'm taking that as a sign that my writing is improving and I'm getting to be more dependable.

Our Kentucky trip was wonderful as usual.. I love going up there, and I always hate coming home. ALWAYS. Josh and I have talked several times about how we're going to move up there one of these days. So we have decided that once we're self-employed full time, we're moving up there. There were lots of pictures taken by Josh and me, and as of now, he's editing and saving them. Stay on the lookout on blogspot for updated pics from our trip.

Lots going on...

Greetings from Bardstown, KY

Josh and I got here in KY almost three hours ago, and we're awaiting some heavy rain. Rain never seems to escape us no matter where we go (down right sucks), but Saturday and Sunday are going to be good.

Saturday we're heading over to Loretto, KY where the big Maker's Mark distillery is. We go up there just about every time we come up to Kentucky, and I learn something new at every visit.

Josh of course brought his camera with him to take lots of pictures, so be on the lookout.

Just in case you need the address: http://lifesjourneyphoto.blogspot.com

I have finished my weekly articles and have requested some re-writes for the ride home on Sunday.

More later...

Guitars, Herbs, and Coffee... oh my

I finished writing my guitar articles on Saturday and almost immediately after sending them in, I got an email asking I could do an emergency rewrite on the electric guitar. "Sure why not?" so I spent an hour doing the rewrite because I thought it was an emergency, but I don't think it was all that big of an emergency.

My articles writes this week are three re-writes on coffee, three originals on herbs (anything and everything is welcome), and three originals on weightloss. We got to choose what we wanted to write on this week, so that's why my subjects are a little more interesting.

I'll be done with my weightloss articles tomorrow, so I'm hoping I can do some more rewrites or originals before we head off to KY... so excited.

**ah**

I think I may have mentioned in my last blog that I had to write about dental procedures which I finished. Yesterday I was given 3 re-writes to do, around 700 words, about electric guitars.. the beginner buyer's guide, electric guitar lessons, and how to get started or something along those lines. I was going to do an article a night since they were so long, but I buckled down and finished them all tonight.

Now I get to relax for about 30-45 minutes and wait on the next assignment. Woo..
