About Me:

I am the single mom of two beautiful daughters. I work from home as a freelance writer and I love my career. I started writing in August 2008 when I started my first blog. I had read about making money by blogging on a forum I was a member at and thought it would be interesting to try. I really enjoyed the blogging, but I found that I didn't care for writing things people wanted me to write on my blog. I felt like it ruined the blog and made my readers less interested. I have tried numerous types of blogs and I actually have been through 17 total! Most of them have been deleted because while it was a topic I liked, it wasn't a topic I enjoyed writing about.

When I decided blogging for money wasn't for me, I began looking into freelance writing. Once I landed my first client in February 2009, I took a chance and quit my full time job. At this time I also started the only blog I still have called, Am I Really a Writer? This blog has been wonderful for me. Not only does it allow me to do a little recreational writing, but it allows me help others who are looking for a career in freelance writing. I now make more than enough money to pay the bills and enjoy working from home. While this career may not be for everyone, freelance writing is definately the career for me!
