I'm ELATED! I can now officially say that I am writing for a living. I AM ON CLOUD 9!!! It's actually an academic piece, still far from the more creative ones I'm really wishing to get but the more practice I have writing the better I'd get right? It's my dream job! How about you myLotters? what's the job that would you go "WOOHOO!!!"?

Many thanks! I'd like to read what you've done. I'd be mum about it if you like but I bet you'd love to get feedback too right? I'm still far from being professional. Oh the road there is to travel makes me tingle with excitement! hehehe

Well, I have submitted some of my stuff to Associated Content, and gotten paid from doing this, but I am eventually wanting to branch out more, and earn better from submitting my stuff elsewhere. I guess I just need to try submitting some of my work elsewhere someday, and see what happens.

Well done. I hope you have continued success with your work. It really is great to be paid for doing something you like to do. I am always overjoyed when my work is accepted and I'm paid for it. I am earning every day from my article writing now, and I'm gradually building up a monthly income from it. It is my aim to earn enough to live on eventually. Freelance writing is a highly competitive market and requires active participation. Success comes to those who work hard to match their skills to various publishers requirements and the rewards are relative to the time and commitment put into writing.

Many thanks. I will take that to heart. You seem to have been in the busines for long. I'd love more tips from you.

Good for you! Any step in the right direction is a positive one. As you build your experience, opportunities will open up for you. My life's desire is also to make a full-time living as a writer. Of course I would love to be the next Danielle Steele (wouldn't we all?) but even if I can make a steady income from my writing I would consider my career a success.

Just reading your name shows it. :) Do you have a blog or are you currently writing/published on the net?

Congradulations! That's fantastic! I would love to get some travel articles published. An entire book of travel information would be phenominal.
