Taking a leap.

So, I recently got the push to expand my writing skills elsewhere(I don't know if you would really consider me skilled) other than writing for my blogs. Ive always loved writing, and before I blogged, i kept journals and notebooks, and well just kept it to myself. I always excelled in writing in school, and loved writing stories. I never thought Ive trying to, well, I guess write "professionally" until Michael gave his mom my blog address, and she read ALL of them! I have to admit I was a little embarrassed, sometimes I just get on here and rant and rave, post inappropriate song lyrics, and talk about my past relationships, and current love life... not exactly sure how your almost, pretty much, mother in law will take it.... but she loved them, and thought that I should try some freelance writing gigs. Well Ive looked at a few sites, and even some online jobs, and I came across one that gives you topics to write about, and if you chose one of them to write about, and they chose it, you can get paid!

I jumped in, and thought what the heck, ill try it out. I wrote one, and it didn't get chosen, granted it was a lengthy one, and was a little hard to not write in first person(something I need to learn) I decided to try another. This one was shorter, and was about a product. To my surprise, they bought it!! It is now posted on the AOL shopping blog under the Whats the #1 item on your wish list? (click to read). Scroll down to see my review on my #1 item, the flip video recorder!

Its a small piece, but I must say I'm very proud of myself, and is very awesome to be able to say that I contributed to a shopping blog, that tons of people read!! I definitely want to continue to write pieces, take classes, and branch out on different websites, and apply for jobs! Trying never hurt anyone, thank you Leanne for giving me the little push, and boosting my confidence! ♥
