I have been kind of practicing here on my lot with grammer, punctuation, proper writing technigues. I just started writing articles about two weeks ago and I have found that even though I was unsure of myself, I'm starting to earn money with my articles. I really believe my experience at my lot has helped me grow already with my typing and writing skills. Someday I would like to be a recognized writer. Are there any recognized writers here on my lot? Any Authors? It would be interesting to know and maybe learn a liitle from you, if you don't mind.

I write for hobby. However I'm starting to write for living now because I'm retiring from full time job soon. I hope I have 20 books under my name before retired. So far one was published, two in editing, two in writing and four still in my mind. Sometime I have free time but no mood of writing. Another time I am very busy but got a lot to write.

It is so awesome how many people are actually practicing their writing through my lot to go on and write for some money! I think if you have a dream of doing something, no matter how old you are, mba, I know you will do it! I like murder mystery books,but I don't know if I would want to write one. I like to write freestyle, maybe like my life in diary form, there are a lot of thing in my life that I've gone through that could teach others and other things that just show how we got through the hard times.,as there were many!!! But after all that, we are a stronger family for it, and to be able to put it in a book and have it published...ohhh that would be awesome. I'll have to get some advice from you when I get to that stage, if you are still here, I know I will be, you guys are my inspiration!!!!

Thanks for the nice comment. Actually everybody have at least a novel in his/her life. The only things now is how to write it out. Maybe free e-book 'write a novel in 100 days' is a good start for those who want to try.

I write for a living. I am not a recognized writer to some people, but other people know me in real life and have read some of my books. There's nothing else that I rather do than to write. I don't always have the proper grammar or punctuation, but that doesn't stop me from writing. I take writing classes and I write everyday. I have a blog where I sell my work and people can hire me to write for them. That's what I do.

I am writing and making money from it though it isn't yet enough to call a living. Some day I hope that I make enough to call it a living and that it is a fair living with enough money for the comforts that we all like to have. Till then I will continue to work hard and work toward a profitable future.

Since I joined myLot six months ago, my writing and typing speeds have increased, and I am now in the habit of writing every day, even if it is only to post at myLot and on my blog. I also write artices and I am earning money from them at other sites. My articles are being bought and paid for by online publishers too, so I think I can consider myself to be a real writer. I am not yet earning enough to live on, but I am hoping by the end of this year to have a good monthly income from it. I'm sure you too can achieve success with your writing. The more you write the more confidence you will have, and the better your writing will be. I never thought I would have hundreds of articles appearing on the internet, when I started out. I have already written more than one hundred articles and reviews, and they are all online.
