Why Blog?

Why blog is a question I am often asked by people who don't blog. My answer is usually quite simple, I enjoy blogging. I enjoy writing about things that I have seen or about things that just cross my mind at times. It is also the case that you can earn some money if you blog. It may not be a lot of money but that is not the point. The point is that you are doing something you enjoy while making a little bit of extra cash. Good enough reasons to blog to my mind

Keeping up with the blogs

Keeping up with what is happening in blogosphere has been difficult recently with some sites going down never to return. I have had trouble accessing this particular blog since the changeover to new blogger started but have now managed it.

I intend to keep up with this now and stay true to what I have called this blog which is writeon.

It's All in the Brand Apparently

Some businesses are built from nothing but a dream and a lot of hard work. That is how Belisi Fashions came into being.

The founder was a bartender who wanted to live the life of his well to do clients. He emulated his high-end clientele and invested money in a tie collection, never wearing the same one twice. It was this that gave him the idea that accessories are the finishing touch in you presenting a polished picture to the world. The Belisi brand became synonymous with beauty and giving back to the community. It speaks of good living, great style, quality accessories, including scarves and handbags the brand speaks of luxury with meaning.

Writing Web Content

Writing web content can sometimes be tedious. If you have to write twenty articles for one product you can easily run out of things to say. This kind of writing can get to be a dreadful bore. You want to get it out of the way and get on with something more interesting - otherwise you are likely to fall asleep over your keyboard.

Freelance Writing

Freelance writing can be fun but it is not always easy. When you have more than one client you are just as likely to find that you have three or four deadlines all on the same day. You can't afford to miss one or you will have one very unhappy client and if the client is unhappy they may not give you any more work.

Making a success of freelancing means keeping your clients happy and working hard. Make no mistake writers write and writing is work, it can be hard work, but if you like to write then you can have fun freelancing.

Joining the Dots

Christmas is the time of year when people go dotty over flowers. When you don't know what to give flowers comes up trumps every time. I am thinking of joining the dotty brigade.

Dot flowers for example has some fabulous flower gift ideas you can even have same day delivery. How about some field fresh flowers direct from the growers and delivered all over the United States. There are bound to be some flower ideas to suit most people on your list. You can buy gift baskets full of cookies and savory snacks, there is something for everyone. If you really don't know what to give then flower gifts are always well received. You can choose the colors and the kinds of flowers to send. Bring a breath of spring to Christmas by sending flowers.

Winter Flowers

It's quite odd in the UK this December. The weather has been much milder than usual and this means that we still have things flowering in the garden. The nastercions are like tryphids-with the foliage all over the garden path. There are still pansies blooming and a patch of daisies looks ever so sprightly for this time of year. I am not complaining, just surprised

Writing a Novel

Well I started nanowrimo but I only ended up with 23,000 words. It was a case of work getting in the way of work or writing getting in the way of writing. I will do it again next year but will try to make more free time he he. What is free time? I will not neglect my novel however, I will finish writing it and hope to do the editing through nano in March. Happy writing

There's Gold in Them Thar Hills

Time was in the US that people dug for gold. Now they buy it as an investment. There are plenty of opportunities and out there and companies offering gold and silver for sale. Monex Deposit Company (MDC) are worth taking a look at. If you purchase your precious metals and coins from them you can have your investment delivered to your door or placed in safe storage. Silver bullion is at its peak and gold is available in coin or ingot form.

Just think about owning some American Eagle gold coins. You could do worse than go to America's best dealer in US gold coins to make your investment. Who knows where it will lead, and if you bury them to keep them safe then people will still be able to say that there's gold in them thar hills.

Get Connected

I've just finished reading the Cosmic Ordering Service. It's not bad and one of the things I've found really good about is the advice on connecting with yourself. Sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in life that we miss who we are and what we really want. What the book points out is that unless we take that time to get connected with our deepest selves then we won't truly connect with anyone else. It's certainly something worth thinking about. I've only been working with it for 3 days but I've already overcome a couple of blocks so the book is well worth reading.

Nanowrimo Blues

It's the final week and I only have around 17,000 words with no sleep and petrol driven arms I might just get to 50,000. I think that the problem is that I worry I won't write enough on each bit but then when I start a chapter it seems to flow. But then that's maybe just an excuse and perhaps I should be working on that rather than waffling on her about my Nanowrimo blues.

Is There a Doctor in the House?

Online universities are a growth industry but they are not all properly accredited. This is where Capella University is different, founded in 1993 Capella University is a fully accredited online university which offers graduate programs in different areas including human services, business and education.

Capella offers specialisation in 76 different areas. The University has 16,000 students from fifty states and 63 countries. So if you have an area that you are really interested in and already have a masters how about trying a distance learning phd?

Capella University has plenty of experts who can supervise your studies online. You never know there may come a day when someone shouts is there a doctor in the house and you won't be able to stop yourself from saying "here I am".

You're Never Too Old To Learn

When we're young we really do think that we know it all. As the saying goes hire a teenager while they still know everything. What I have found as I get older is that you are never too old to learn. You can learn something new every day. However small it is it gets added to your store of knowledge.

It's a funny thing knowledge, because the more you learn the more you realise how little you know. This goes on I think throughout life and we learn our lessons from the most unexpected people and places. I wonder whether I'll be doing it until the day I die and whether it's true that you're never too old to learn.

The Write Time

There comes a time in every writer's life when you just know you can't put that job or that chapter off any longer. So what do you do, well you blog about it. At least you are writing, you're just not writing whatever it is you either don't want to write or are frightened that it won't be good enough. Well I got news for you (and for me in case you were wondering) if you don't get down to the job at the write time you never will see your name on publisher's lists.

Vacation Time

It's getting to that point in the year when a lot of people start to think of getting away for a Christmas break. Save yourself all that cooking and washing up and take and Orlando vacation. Where else in the world are you going to get fifty two theme parks and beaches only forty minutes drive away. It needn't be expensive either there are plenty of vacation homes in Orlando, many of them cheaper than most other places. There is huge convention centre, Disney is our biggest draw and the theme parks are being constantly updated. Guess what you golfers we have more top-rated golf courses within a forty minute drive of where you are than anywhere else. So if you haven't been down our way for a while why not come and check us out.

Don't You Sometimes Just Want to Get Away?

There are times when you think that you just want to get away. You get tired of the same old routine, the same faces, catching the same bus to the same office and coming back to the same house. However much you enjoy your life most of the time there are periods when it all gets too much. At least that's how I feel, don't you sometimes just want to get away?

Taking the Mickey

There is nothing like a good cartoon. Everybody enjoys Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry. Take Mickey Mouse that must be one of the best ideas ever to hit the big screen. It is so cleverly done and Mickey has fun with his friends and associates while everyone in the picture house has fun watching. Several generations will sit down together to watch a Disney cartoon, it's the one thing that seems to cross that gap with no problems.

Life Gets Soapier Don't It

Soaps are everywhere these days. We used to have Coronation Street twice a week in the Uk and then we got East Enders and Emmerdale, twice a week. Now all of these programmes run four or five times a week. Some nights, you get too doses of Corrie with only half an hour in between. Life gets soapier, don't it.

Winter's Here Again

You always know when winter comes around.Not only does it get colder but you start getting besieged by adverts for Christmas. They seem to start earlier every year. It used to be that nobody other than the kids mentioned Christmas before the start of December. Now, it starts at the end of October. Who knows, in another fifty years it could be Christmas in June.
