Writing on the Internet

I haven't posted here in a while because I've been busy doing writing for several internet sites. I'm trying out some things to see if I can earn enough to help with college and stay at home at the same time.

One of the sites I like writing for is Associated Content. I've written a number of personal finance articles as well as articles on a variety of other topics. I'm working on a few Lesson Plans/Unit Study Guides based on individual movies and books. So far I've written one for the musical Oklahoma! and The Call of the Wild by Jack London. They should be published soon. I'm hoping that I might someday be able to collect them in a book.

I am also writing on a site called The Examiner. The Examiner is organized by major cities, and then people are chosen to be the Examiner for that city in a particular subject. So, I am the Boston Knitting Examiner. All my articles about knitting from now on will go on this site. I plan to do reviews on Mondays - books, stores, websites, etc.; How-tos on Tuesdays - patterns, techniques, suggestions; announcements of local events on Thursdays, and miscellaneous on the weekends. I may do more articles as well. It's really fun to have a focus, and it's giving me an excuse to go to events and knitting stores!

The first site I started writing for was Helium because I have a good friend who has been involved with the site and recommended it. I have been disappointed with some of their policies, but I've written 30 articles there. You can look at my articles. There are a variety of of articles there including some education/homeschooling, some finance, and a few book reviews.

There were so many times my mother would say "You should write an article about that". I'm finally taking the time now, and I'm really enjoying it.
