Nice to see you again. I had trouble finding your site and just figured out why – a missing full stop. I will stop by for a visit now that I’ve found it.

I'm a writer in Maine (USA) and got my BA in Lit, although I got sidetracked with kids, divorce, needing immediate pay, the usual. I recently decided to get back into writing and am slowly working towards freelancing enough to quit my day job. I have PMDD and PTSD, both of which can make it difficult to be around people - so working at home would be ideal for me. And doing something I love and supporting myself with it would be wonderful. I love the sensible and easy-going nature of your blog, and will be spending a lot more time here. Thanks for sharing it.

I came across your blog, I think nearly a year ago. I was having a rough pregnancy and put on three months of bed rest, so I thought that was good time to look into freelancing and writing online. I think my biggest challenge right now is getting my mind to make that jump from a print reporter to online. I just started a blog, writing my fustrations at work and balancing motherhood, but so only have two entries. Ok that is more than enough about me. I don't like talking about me.

I've always looked younger than my age too, though no one has carded me for a long time. :) One of the best ways to get paid to blog is to boost your profile by offering guest posts to the blogs you read.

I started my own blog in January and love blogging. I wish I could get paid for it but so far have not been able to figure it all out. You can learn a lot about me from reading my posts but I will share a few things still: ~I am currently unemployed. I had to resign from teaching last month because of health reasons. ~My hobbies are numerous and include reading, writing, swimming, going to parks, watching movies, dancing, listening to music, scrapbooking, drawing (badly, I might add), and I am trying to learn how to knit. ~I have about 8 favorite books and just as many favorite movies. ~I'm 29 and I look much younger. When I went to vote in November, I was asked if I was really 18. They could not believe when I told them my actual age. Last week I was told I looked 17, and the week before that I was told I looked 22 at the most. Meanwhile, my younger sister (by 3 years) was told at a spa that she could ask for a gift card from her kids (she has none, the lady assumed she did, much to the horror of my sister who looks exactly her age.) ~With the exception of 2 shows, I don't watch TV unless I am extremely bored. This has always been an anomaly to my parents who have watched TV nearly every night for the past 30 years. ~I love the smell of coconut. Coconut and pineapple is absolute heaven. ~I don't like to eat cake. <abbr><em>Rebecca´s last blog post..<a href="http://imlostinbooks.blogspot.com/2009/02/wondrous-words-wednesday-1.html" rel="nofollow">Wondrous Words Wednesday #1</a></em></abbr> Hi,
