Mylot Writers

July 19, 2008 2:24pm CST
From everyone here who posts discussions and replies to discussions, who are actual writers and who are not? Meaning, do you actually enjoy writing your discussions and replies, being able to voice your opinion, or is it really just the money? For me, I enjoy writing and love writing my discussions and replies. I hope that my passion for writing does come over in my posts and discussions. It's more than just the money, but of course every penny (or cent) counts in this day and age.

My best days on mylot happen when I don't think about anything but the people I'm responding to. I don't watch the number next to my name, and I don't pay attention to the money aspect. Anyone who writes is a writer, but not everyone is good at it! mylot is an incredible website where I do get to write, express my opinion, learn and enjoy my time here. I doubt there's another site as rewarding (to me) as mylot.

I enjoy writing. I'm here primarily for the money, but it is an interesting wayto make money and I am happy to do the writing it takes to make the money. Do I have a passion for writing? I dont think so. Do I like it and enjoy it? I would say yes. I have written all my life in various capacities.

I enjoy writing discussion and replies. I like to read the different discussions that are posted here. Some of them are very informative, some are funny and some of them are sad. I think when a person reads the opinion of others on something that exspands their own knowledge. I like the fact that I get paid for posting but it is more than the money that brings me here.

The money is just icing on the cake. I really like voicing my opinions here in mylot and learning about things and other people. I do consider myself a writer. I love to write, I eat, breate and drink writing. Everything I earn here does count because it helps me with expenses and other stuff.

I am a writer. I write articles about fitness, hypnosis, self improvement, self development, creating your life, etc... I have not noticed that there is a whole lot of money to be made here. Actually, I didn't know that you could make money on here. I just joined because I like to write.

I enjoy writing and reading all the different discussions. Some of the discussions have really touched me in some way and some have been really funny and interesting. Of course, the money is a perk too, but still I enjoy it all the same! Happy MyLotting!

I know what you mean! It's amazing how the written word can move mountains and, in the mind of some people, align the planets. It's great! Happy mylotting to you too.

For me, it has never been about the extra money. It has always been about getting the Freedom to write about just about anything in here, meeting new friends, sharing thoughts and opinions and finding out you are not the only one as well. I personally have met many wonderful people in here, and have some awesome friends in here as well. I am glad I found this place, and look forward to coming in here everyday as I can as well.

This is a great place to express what ever is in you, meaning you can write anything to the world audience. But ofcorse we have to adhere to mylot guidelines. Yes, it is a good ground for practising our writing skills, a talent not being exposed anyway but in mylot. But ofcorse the payment is what drives most here. I admit that I have to pay my internet connection and electricity bills. At least a little payment is worth the effort and time to be here.

I actually enjoy writing, voicing my opinion and communicating with others. If I didn't I wouldn't be on here. I've been here for months and haven't even got paid for it. So, unlike others I would not force myself to post, post, post to make money. It wouldn't be worth it. I only post to discussions that I am genuinely interested in.

I like expressing my opinions and i like being on mylot. Although i am a bit picky on what i like to discuss though so that is why i only respond to discussions that i have an interest in but i think that is a given for us anyways. I think a lot of people only talk about what they are interested in here.

good day.. I enjoy writing my opinion and reading other people's as well. The discussions here are let's say internationally oriented, views of people of different nationals, of people of different political and cultural orientations. On top of it, we can discuss it openly and share our views on it.

Definitely I enjoy myself in Mylot. If here is boring,even I can earn,I will still need to think about it. I enjoy reading and posting discussions. I am enjoying when people find my topics are interesting and keep on replying to them. Thanks.

I too really enjoy writing. I take answering the discussions seriously although there are times when the subject is lighter that I enjoy being silly. I want my answers to count for more than just a few pennies. Some of these subjects are very serious and deserve thought and consideration before a comment is written. I pride myself on being honest and putting whole effort into what I post.

I enjoy being able to write. Most of it comes in the form of responses to discussions already started. Sometimes, I do go on a rant or, get on my soapbox and start a discussion. Or, I get curious and want to get to know the people on my interests lists and, try to start a discussion there. For me, it is an exercise in both sharpening my mind and, writing. The money is a bonus but, I think I would do it anyway. You meet a lot of interesting people this way.

I started on mylot two years ago because of the money, I did enjoy being here and reading all of the responses as well, I have been writing, short stories and poetry since I was ten years old. I have not been on mylot for over a year, I got extremely busy and did not have the time, I think I will try to come on once a week now that I don't work as much as I use to.

I'm definatly a writer. Mylot is just a wonderful place for me to do it. I love having other people out there (that I don't have to actually face {I'm not much of a people person}) that I can have interesting discussion with and the money here is just a bonus. Even without the money I think I'd still log on just as often just to see what people are saying these days. I don't have tv and I'm not big on newspapers because mostly it's just focused on all the bad out there. I find out most of the bigger news stories but logging onto here and checking through the day's top discussions. I don't mean to sound conceited but the crowd that I hang out with aren't known for deep discussion. I have way more intense interesting discussions on here.

I love to write and I need the money, so myLot is a great fit for me. I don't know of any other place like it where you can talk about the vegetables in your garden and hot political issues, in a span of two minutes - and get paid for it! I also write at Associated Content, are you familiar with it? I've even written a couple of articles about myLot. If you'd like to check it out, the link is on my profile. (And I don't get anything for referrals, so this isn't SPAMMING).

Hi and Welcome to MyLot !! I am not an actual writer. However, I enjoy coming to MyLot to start discussions, respond to discussions and to socialize with my friends. I didn't realize how much I actually enjoyed writing in forums until I joined MyLot. It's now become quite a habit for me. However, the money I get always helps! Have a good evening, Char

For me a new comer I truly enjoyed my write ups in which I could expressed my feelings on it not because of money because we are not yet sure if we can really received the payment through this site......
