3 generations under one roof

Moments of realization are a great change after months of struggling. I finally had one and it was a huge wake up call. However, it was a harsh reality to wake up and realize what I was doing. I know I can use that knowledge to unbury myself.

I am not a quitter by any means, and I have to erase those thoughts from my head. Last week I was about to give up on freelance writing, because I felt so overwhelmed. I needed someone to take me by the hand and shake me into reality. I am a good writer if I take my time and not whiz through articles to get them done.

I did not quit college when my husband left in my sixth semester at finals time. Even with the stress, I did okay on those finals. I graduated the nest semester with two associates’ degrees because I worked my butt off. I did two 2-year programs in 3 and half years! That last semester in college I was a single parent did classes’ full time and worked third shift. I napped when I could because I had to. I did 12-hour shifts in a nursing home as an aide to survive because I had too, and I write because I need to keep the money flowing in. Writing is a passion of mine and always had been, but I hate content writing for lower paying markets with a passion. I want to write short stories, novels, and articles for print, which pay higher.
