Rachel Sims That is extremely true! I'm so excited to launch my website, but I'll be communicating on MyLot at least once a day.

For as long as I can remember, I have had to watch my weight which means I have been on a lot of diets in my life. Some successful and some not. This time I am thinking of going on a low carb diet. I've been trying to read up...

Rachel Sims @simone10 You can ask as many questions as you like! I would recommend that you start out on a protein-rich diet, and do light exercise a few times a week, even if it's just for five minutes. Go for a walk. Take a yoga class. Take your family to the park and...

What is your typing speed? Typing speed is very important for writers, because the more work they can produce in an hour the more money they earn. My WPM (words per minute) when typing used to be around 70. When I got a job at a...

Rachel Sims Those are both excellent speeds! Always keep practicing, though. Get to 100% better than anyone else, haha. I always aspire to do better than I did yesterday.

Rachel Sims That's a pretty good speed though! I would definitely recommend trying out 10fastfingers.com. It's a great place to test out your speed, and if you practice a few minutes each day you'll get so much faster in just a month. I went from about 70 to 105 in a...

Hey everyone! I'm back from my extended stay away from MyLot. I've been so busy with my two jobs IRL that I've been too exhausted to go online at all. I started my first day at the gym as a cheerleading and gymnastics instructor...

Rachel Sims @cahaya1983 That's wonderful! I'm glad you're able to find clients offline. It's a little difficult for me to do here, because I live in such a small town and there's no need for writers around here. My jobs are better found online. Starting a fitness blog is...

Rachel Sims That's very true! I've been writing online off and on for a little over four years now, I think, and I honestly love it. If I could just write and teach fitness all day, that's what I would do, and that's what I'm trying to do. I will get to that stage,...

Rachel Sims @Boonie1 Any time! I love trying to inspire people, especially with the field I'm going into. It's kind of my job! Haha. I hope that you find what you're passionate about and that you can run with it.

Rachel Sims @loki1982 That's definitely understandable, Jared. I know a few people that are into photography, and I guess that's the main problem with that field - it's so heavily saturated that it's almost impossible to get into. But you could definitely do it, if you...

Rachel Sims That's okay! Finding something manageable to live through while you work on your dream job is always an excellent route to go, too. What's your dream job, and what do you do now?

Rachel Sims You'll find one. I think it usually takes a really long time for someone to find their true passion in life. The only reason I've found it so soon is because I got ridiculously lucky. Keep researching, keep trying to find what drives you. One of my favorite...

Rachel Sims Thank you! Starting out it honestly doesn't pay enough to make a living wage, which is why I'm still working 30 hours a week at my call center job, but it's so rewarding. I got to teach 5 kids yesterday, and they had so much fun learning how to do front rolls...

What is your favorite band, and how did they earn the right to be your favorite band? For me, my favorite band is Pink Floyd. I'd been listening to them all my life, but I didn't truly discover and appreciate their music until...

Rachel Sims @BrainySaber I can dig it. I have always respected the Beatles wholeheartedly, since they come from the same era as Pink Floyd, but never really listened to them for the same reason. I was also never a big The Doors fan. I'm now giving the Beatles and The...

Alright, team, it's time to get personal. I'm still new to MyLot, and I'm just curious about everyone else's results, since I'm extremely nosey. What's the most you've earned through MyLot in any given month? In a day? In a week?...
