Another Year and the Same old Same Old

 I wish covid-19 was over. I got my vaccine, so did my family. I wish everyone had done the same thing, so it would make sense that people are going out to the NYS Fair, and concerts and dining out, etc. I think the pandemic is messing with people's minds, in a big way. Mental illness is now more front and center than ever. Never in our wildest dreams-I know some of us never imagined being smack the middle in one and having to wear masks and keep our distance from friends and some family members. I think some people just can't take living like this and are acting out. Anyhoo....

Well, my old job asked me back. My health has diminished because of working there, so I told them NO! I mean, I am older now than when I started this blog, and I always told myself (manifesting works, people!) that I want to wake up everyday and do what I want to do. It happened. I am now doing that.

I didn't expect a pandemic to be the start of freedom, but, I kind of got used to it and I LOVE being at home! Yes, I have no day job, but I never really wanted one. I have bought more courses on writing and now I am taking a course from a Dept. of Labor suggestion from Coursera, and I plan on taking a whole lot of other courses to begin another career, working from home.

Yes, I think of myself now as any entrepreneur or star out there that started from nothing, lived in their cars and went after their dream and made it big. I don't want to be famous, no, but to follow after my fellow writers who are currently making five figures or more a month. Yes. I am still Chasing Riley,  a bit, but now I am more closer to my dream than ever.

Music News And Other Stuff....

I get so frustrated when I read about other people taking weeks, and up to four months earning a great income from home and I have not been able to do that yet. Oh, I make money online alright, but it's not enough to pay off credit cards, or mortgage payments. So right now I'm focusing on my writing so that's why I have not been here in a very, very, long time.
The main website I have been making money with-have made the most  money ever online is now closing shop. Yahoo bought out Associated Content, and now they are ending at the end of this month. The pressure to find a replacement, that will work better is on. So, all the music articles I wrote, I'll be posting once a month until I can finally post about my music. Until then.....

Getting Closer To Catching Riley

*Sigh*. No, I'm not yet close to getting my music out yet, but a way to become financially independent is. Well, one good thing is that I do have a publishing contract for a series. My first book will be out in October. Instead of endlessly searching for things to do to make money, I have focused on three things:

• Writing(my publisher+ Kindle, Smashwords and other websites like them)
• Teaching(online)
• Crowdfunding

 So, I am hoping by the end of next month to be debt free, and therefore able to purchase the software and equipment I need to get my music online and heard by millions of people. So, you will hear from me once more this month, and will hear the final verdict next month. Will I have caught Riley? Will I finally be able to just wake up every day and work at home? Stay tuned and find out....

One Step Closer To Riley.....

There is so much confusion about earning money online. That is why people scream scams and don't believe that you can make anything on the Internet. Those people are wrong. I have made money online, not enough to quit my  j.o.b. but,  I have a plan to get me past the first step on to the next. What is my plan?   Kindle Publishing. I've read a lot about it, have made a little money with it, but there are so many things I need(music supplies and equipment) not to mention the basics. I've listened to at least six if not more Kindle publishing webinars. I've read ebooks, and listened to a video course. So this month I'm finally putting this plan into action. If I succeed, then I will be one step closer to Riley. Will I be the next Amanda Hocking? I don't know, maybe. I'm not that silly to think I could achieve that within a month. All I'm looking for is some financial relief and that's nowhere near what Amanda Hocking has. I'll let you know in May....and then, when I make it,  I will reach for the stars.

Music News

The problem with me is doing multiple projects at one time.
We still have not recorded anything yet, BUT we have chosen
a song, and we had a major meeting last night from about
10:15 pm-11:45 am.

I don't want to just put singles online, and ring tones. The
whole point of this blog is to quit my day job and begin
living the life of my dreams. So, we are thinking bigger.

Stay tuned, there will actually be some news August 09.
