Saving Lives, Staying Home and Very Much Determined

I hope all of you, your familes and friends are safe and healthy during this strange time.  I live with my mom and sister and we are all okay.... BUT  the  day job I had for years is now gone. I was working at home  for two weeks and two days, in March, then I was called and told I had zero hours.

Now, I have always wanted to quit my day job. I have a college degree from Syracuse University, and have been accepting a low salary for years ( under $10K) because I could find nothing better. I had watched several employees-some just new hires,  get promotions in a few months time, while I who had tried many times got nothing. I won't go through all I had experienced there, that is not the point I want to make here today.

I had no way of getting anything better in my city, so along comes COVID-19 and now I am at home. Am I going stir crazy? No! I love being at home with my family, and now have the time to get all those  time consuming jobs and projects around the house and in the yard done. Most importantly,  I have the time to make the life of my dreams come true....to be a successfully published writer. I have sold ebooks,  yes, but not successfully. So now I have all the time in the world, and I am going to focus on one thing at a time, and get the job done!

While I wait for my first unemployment payment (you can guess how crazy that is..*eye roll*) I will be focusing on becomiing better and marketing my books.. I am so bad on keeping up with this blog but, I will post at least once a month to keep you posted.

Take care, and remember to wash your hands.

IM BACK!

Yes, I know I haven't written since the first of Never-ary but I will try to post at LEAST once a month from now on. I'm getting closer to reaching Riley for the first time in a long time I feel MORE than inspired that my goals, dreams, will come true. This is what I have been doing:

1. Taking new writing courses
2. Writing

Apart from that life has been happening and it takes me awhile to get back on track, but I will start posting how close I am to catching Riley and living the life of my dreams.

What Didn't Work
Maybe it worked and continues to work for other people, but Etsy did not work for me. After listing products that I took from a course (saying it would sell, what a laugh!) I got "likes" and a little interest in my store, even a person who LIED. (I had a feeling) saying they wanted to buy every single product in my store.  I got tired of wasting money I really don't have and closed it down.

Here's something to remember, everyone who wants to earn a living online: Whatever website you signed up to, and you earned money with them, stick with them. For me, those websites are Amazon and Fiverr. So, that is how I am going to catch up to Riley. Times up now, stay tuned next month!

Still Chasing Riley

Yes, I have been away for a very, very long time. Although I have made an income online, I have not yet been able to replace my day job. I am STILL at it. Here are a list of things I am trying to make work.
1. Createspace
2. Kindle Ebooks
3.Etsy
I hereby promise to let you know if it is working and will share what I am doing free on this blog once I am "freed'from my day job.
Goodbye again for now.
