If Ever There Was a Writer's Inspiration........

I wanted to introduce you all to a friend of mine. Lisa Curcio is an amazing mother, business owner and writer. We met through my favorite hang out WPLH and I just really wanted to share her story with you all.
Lisa’s youngest son Owain was born on May 3rd 2008. The morning after Owain was born it was discovered that he has a very rare and complicated Congenital Heart Defect. To quote Lisa from her journal: “His heart is very strong! It is just not wired correctly so that the blood goes into the heart & sent out to the lungs to get reoxygenated.”
So, I’m sure that running her jewelry business and her writing are keeping her busy enough, but with 3 boys running around the house and little Owain having surgeries to treat his condition, she must be really worn out!
The purpose of this blog was to help all you freelance writers by giving you resources and stories that will show you how possible it is to make a substantial income by writing from home. Lisa’s is a story that I think will touch your hearts and show you that even through adversity it is possible to fulfill your dreams of being writers.
Now, be sure to check out Lisa’s websites:

This is the link to her jewelry site, which has some really beautiful pieces. http://gaiasjewelry.com/
This is the link to her journal so that you can read up and keep up with Owain’s condition and how he is doing.http://hsilversprite.livejournal.com/

And, last but certainly not least, this is the link to her published articles on Associated Content.

Be sure to head over there and give her articles a look. She’s a very talented writer and an inspiration to us all.

Talk Home Business

Talk Home Business is a great forum to hang out in. I know, I know, I've said that before. But really, the administrators and moderators, and even the members are all so very helpful with every aspect of working a home business or job. I highly recommend registering for the THB forum, you really can learn alot from them. And it's like a big family, everyone helping everyone, etc. THB currently has over 2900 members, and I heard that Administration is going to reward the 3000th member with a special prize. Mind you, they don't give out useless stuff over there. I won a monthly competition recently that was $25 cash. And they have competitions every month, and they are so much fun. All you have to do is sign up and you could be a winner this month. This month's competition, by the way, is a joke competition. See, the competitions are a hoot, and whoever happens to be #3000 to register is looking at a great prize. So....register for free, and if you happen to be number 3000, then please come back here and let me know that you won:)

I've been so Busy Writing

Now, I know that I just posted the Blogrush post, but I wanted to tell you all why I haven't been posting alot lately. I have been so busy with writing jobs that I've gotten lately. Most of them have come from Digital Point Forums. I have gotten several there this week alone, and have made a pretty decent amount of income from them. You really should sign up for the DP Forum. It's completely free, and there are loads of people looking for writers. Just sign up, then go to Buy/Sell/or Trade, and then to services. The writing jobs will be listed under Content Creation. Also, I've gotten alot of jobs from Get A Freelancer. Some of these jobs are in the upwards of $200 category. I've done alot of work from the GAF site since I started my freelancing career. It's also a free signup, so go there now, and who knows, you may have a paying writing gig by the end of the day. And be sure to visit Talk Home Business. Those guys over there are great! They have helped me so much with my work at home business. You never know what you can accomplish unless you get started. So, these are my three favorite spots to hang out. If you started hanging out there today, you could be well on your way to working from home tomorrow :)
