sammy_2007 Right now while I am getting two of my blogs up and running I am doing more html coding than writing. However, I try to write at least one article for each blog a day. For me the revision process is really longer than the actual writing. So I would say I spend...

sammy_2007 When I get writer's block, I can go days or even weeks without writing a single thing. I haven't been able to force myself to write during those times. Thus, I just take a break and stop thinking about writing completely until the vibe for writing comes back...

Helium Stars and writing contests.

tiggerific @tiggerific (230) 28 Jul 10

Some of you may know, when I first joined Helium, I struggled for the first star. It felt like a bit of a graft - though actually quite satisfying when achieved. Which would have taken me much long, had it not have been for...

sammy_2007 Sadly I never understood Helium; I gave up on it after publishing two articles. I have however heard that it's really awesome and satisfies a lot of writers because it's user friendly. Money wise I haven't heard too much about it. I would suggest if you really...

sammy_2007 It really all comes down to how much time and effort you put into it. If you work hard at making a unique blog or one with a unique niche, then you're going to have something good going. It would probably take 6-12 months before you start making decent money,...

sammy_2007 Typically when I go somewhere I just want to relax, but I find myself in the kitchen, "just because." However, when someone comes over I don't like them being in the kitchen because they get in my way.

Penfencer @Penfencer (297) • United States 20 Mar 07

sammy_2007 Thirteen cents? I am new here and I don't know what to think of that. Does it go by the each discussion or the number of posts? By the way, at least you're still visiting the site, which means you're loyal to it. Keep it up.
