It seems like working from home is the new normal since the pandemic. Some people had already had that option before the world changed and I wish I was one of those people. I wished that I had the opportunity to be able to be in the comfort of my own home and be able to pay my bills. I had high hopes that my blog would bring in some extra income. I had hoped that my blog would be able to help me when times would be tough and I needed that extra bit of money, but of course the

I always thought about what would have happened if I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was in high school, how would my life be now? Would I be more successful because I would have had access to resources a lot sooner? Would I have encouragement from teachers to pursue my interests? Would teachers be able to see my passions and help me get into college? You hear about people who got into specific fields or industries because of a teacher they had in school. They encouraged

I always wanted to be able to make a little bit of money blogging and I was hoping that it would have happened by now. I’ve looked into how to put ads on your blog, but there are different ways of doing it. I know that I don’t have enough views and readers to be able to live off the income I would get off of my blog, but it would be nice to be able to have that extra coming in. It would be one step closer to getting me into the field I want to get into because there are peop

I know that I’m taking a break from writing, but I always tend to go back to my blog. In fact, when I first started blogging back in 2009, it started off as a daily blog. I wanted to challenge myself in seeing if I was able to come up with a new post every day and at the beginning it worked to a certain point. Looking back, I wish I kept up with it. I felt discouraged to stop because I felt that people weren’t interested in what I had to say. When I say I’m taking a break fr

Because I’m single, I tend to eat out every day. It’s hard for me to plan meals ahead of time because I don’t have someone to cook for or cook with. I don’t have roommates or a significant other, so I tend to eat out. It’s not that I don’t know how to cook, I just don’t have a reason to since it’s just me. I’ll write a meal plan and write a grocery list, but half the time, I don’t actually go to the store even though I live right next door to one. I dread going to the grocer

I thought that I would be a successful writer. I thought I would have a few books already published. I thought I could bring my stories to life; that’s the world I thought I would be living. I’ve tried countless times to try and outline a book. I’ve tried to do chapter outlines. I really thought that if I had planned, plotted, and organized, I would be able to write a book because I knew where the story was going. In the past, I’ve just written without thinking. I just wrote

I’ve been trying to figure out how to fill my time. Since I’m taking a break from writing, I need something to do. I need to find another way to be creative, but I don’t know what I should do. I don’t know if I should just try a bunch of things to find something or if I should just let a hobby find me. I don’t know if I’ll find a hobby that could eventually turn into a career or would it be a hobby that I’ll get bored with and move on. I’m just in a weird mind set when tryin

I have writer’s block. I can’t seem to get the words out on paper. I have a million ideas for books and screenplays, but I can’t seem to find the words. I keep going back and forth on what I want to work on. I keep thinking that what I’m working on isn’t going to be good enough, making me not want to keep working on it. Blogging is easier for me due to being able to write from the heart, but once I start working on a book, I think it’s not going to be worth putting it out in

I’ve made the decision to close my copy-editing business. After months of trying to promote and market my business, I wasn’t getting interest. I began to think that I wasn’t meant to have my own business, especially one that not everyone was going to be interested in. I knew that when I started it. I knew that it was going to take some time to get it up and running and that it wasn’t going to be a success overnight, but I was really hoping that at least one person would have

I try so hard to be able to find what I’m meant to do in this world. I want to be able to afford to do things and be able to live a comfortable life where I don’t have to worry about living paycheck to paycheck. I want to be able to go on trips and events like concerts without having to save up for months or even years. I want to be able to do things I’ve always wanted to do, but I’m having a hard time getting myself off the ground and becoming more financially independent.
