Writing for a Decade Online

Happy new month everyone! Time really flies so fast and it is already March. I am getting older though I still feel the same but a bit wiser and calmer. The weather is getting colder than the other days. We have only 4C and cloudy. Nevertheless, I am still happy. I have just known after reading my emails this morning that I reached a milestone on writing online. I am already writing for Hubpages for 10 years now. Though I have written for a decade there, I have only 120 articles compared to Mylot, which is more than 700 posts. Maybe, if I have known Mylot earlier, I would have the same year posting on this site where I am interacting almost every day and found friends from different parts of the world. Mylot has more or less become my every day journal. It is a kind of online family that I don't want to miss anymore. What about you? Thank you for reading. Have a wonderful month of March. May we all have a happy and successful month.

I spend my time on myLot when there's nothing else I'm doing.

@cacay1 That's true, but not all ideas can be taken.

I joined Hubpages when Squidoo moved all our "lenses" there, but I finally never wrote for Hubpages. I do not remember the year I joined.

Yes. I think I followed you there @LadyDuck. If HP doesn’t send me an email, I would not know how many years I am writing online already. Thank you and have a nice week.

@thelme55 I should check when Squidoo closed and moved to HP all the accounts, I think it was at the beginning of 2013.

Sometimes I ponder about what I have missed outside all the hours I am sitting mylotting. I didn't really want the decade of my life spent here but writing is pleasurable to me.

I can’t say that I am missing something outside as I am not fond of going out often @eileenleyva. Thank you.

@thelme55 Am also a homebody but the outside world renders me wondrous feelings. I'd love to watch the silhouette of mountains, like Maria Makiling sleeping or Banahaw the tip of which is always covered with clouds. The waters are so inviting. Once, at El Nido's beach, I saw a tiny school of fish forming a big fish. Whooaa! I wanted so much to become a mermaid so I could follow that pretty sight.

@eileenleyva Do you live near those beautiful sceneries like the mountains? The mountains are very far from where we live.

I am not good in writing because English is not my mother tongue but I wants to write online. Here day and nights both is getting hot. I joined mylot before 10 years, it is like a family.

English language is not my mother language, too @anil02. It is my 3rd language and I am using this language online and through writings. Most of the time, I speak German with my husband. The weather here is getting cold again. Thank you for interacting with me.

You've been on Hubpages a long time. It sounds a bit chilly there. MyLot is like family. It's fun to chat with everyone and know how their day went.

@thelme55 Having to move in my uncle's house and selling some of his stuff is going to be tough. Not emotionally, but getting a buyer for his organs and pianos is going to be tough.

Congrats on your milestone, I didn't know you're on HP too. I moved over there when Squidoo sold us out and I'm still there. Not very active in writing new articles though. With the few I have I reach pay-out every month and that's ok with me. I joined ML not so long ago, but I often forget to check and write something. Too many things to do. I need a 48 hour day and a second life.

Thank you @TitiaG. I have not been there for a week or more. Sometimes I forgot. That is good that you get paid every month. What’s your name there? I want to read your articles. Yes, we need a second life and need more than 24 hours.

Thank you @jaboUK. That was the time when we moved back to Germany from living in Ireland. I just saw a link of HP on fb and registered myself there after a long thought and research.

I try to stop in and chat here every day. Some days I have more time than others but I totally agree that I also don't want to miss everyone if I don't stop in and at least say hello. Your 10 years is remarkable
