Have I Been Away Too Long?

 I cannot remember the last time I was blogging. Isn't that really sad? Well, I have been busy hustling one idea after the other. Nothing I have done to this date is making me enough money, or any money to live the Life of Riley that I have always craved. So, am I making money? Yes, survey money.  *Sigh* it is not enough to replace the day job that I once had.

Now that presidents are about to change, I have to hustle three times harder to ensure that whatever happens, my house and I are financially secure. The problem is, that there are too many ways to make money online, and many things I have tried did not work faster. I still need that one idea that can pay my bills while I work on my writing, which I am wholly bent on succeeding with this year, and music.

Having a home recording studio is different now than it was way back when. You don't have to have a huge multitrack recorder. All that's needed is a table with a microphone, monitors, headphones,  an audio interface, a pop filter DAW, and a laptop. I have some of these things, which probably need to be upgraded. Anyway, I will try to be on here more often because it's about time to be living the Life and Riley. Once I have succeeded, I will be posting a case study. I really hope that it can help someone else, especially during this time. 

Slowly but Surely

 I have started a Pinterest business page. Now to add in a lot of content! I am also attending a virtual webinar for government jobs. Yeah, I know. I am supposed to be Chasing the Life of Riley. I am, but it will not do for me to be idle, seeing my weekly check has ended last month on the fifth.

I am still taking the Coursera course, I want to get on to other courses, but this first one is taking a long time to complete! I mean to have it done by the end of November. I will continue my chase, because I know that after a hop skip and a jump I will finally be there!

You'll Never Guess What Happened To Me

 Okay, so I am driving myself crazy with taking online courses AND writing books. Unemployment has ended on the 5th, but I am going to try again and see if I can get it a little while longer. Isn't Christmas coming up in 100 days or so? Granted, I won't be buying much as I did the previous years with a job and unemployment. The tree will look nice, but the presents (unless we are remembered by others this year) will be fewer.

So, this week I am launching a Pinterest business page. I really have my work cut out for me, luckily the rest of this month will be a lot of free time to work on it. I have been busy. Also, things are happening/has happened that are really unpleasant. When I get over it, I will tell you all about it, but right now I'm in the midst of it. "Problem" number one I'm waiting on pins and needles and do not know what is going to happen; the second "problem" well, I am doing alright, but it has taught me a lesson not to trust someone, even if they are your friend. 

Does this have you on pins and needles? Good. Keep reading my blog and find out when I will reveal what these two problems are. All I can say right now,  for the first problem, I keep thinking of the Missing Persons song "Destination Unknown". Do you know the lyrics? If not, look it up online.  For the second problem, the song from the Police comes to mind "Don't Stand So Close To Me." Keep guessing what my problems are. Will they interrupt me Chasing the Life of Riley? No, I will keep on going and going until I reach my goal.
