[stylist] Update & apologies

[Donna Hill]

Hi Friends,

I thought the list was unusually quiet and decided to check online where I
realized that I wasn't getting any Stylist mail. I visited the archives and
want to thank everyone for their support regarding my article writing for
Suite 101. I'm not sure why the link didn't work; I will include it again
after my name along with the link to my profile page which has links to the
other articles.

 

I wanted to answer a few questions that came up -- and bear with me, if I
missed something; I find getting around on the archives page possible but
cumbersome.

 

No, there's no making a living from Suite 101. Yes, if you write around the
clock and promote, promote, promote, you'll get something, but I think I'm
up to $36for almost 2 years' work -- that's not a typo, it's thirty-six
bucks, not even enough to pay my Bookshare membership. Initially, I didn't
care about the money, because I saw a need to get blindness issues out there
in the mainstream and it was something I could do. But, what with there not
being any inflation and all, it's becoming more of an issue. My topics are
varied, but I've done a lot on blindness issues, and that is low traffic by
nature, so any help you can give by visiting my articles is much
appreciated. Someone asked about clicking on the ads, and that is factored
into it as well. I'm not allowed to do it myself, but anyone else can. I've
been trying to up the gain on my Tweeting to promote the articles. It's not
something I enjoy, but people swear it helps.

 

Anyway, I notice I've missed quite a bit. We've had one thing after another
since coming home from our camping trip in late October. Our neighbor
(Rich's friend of over 50 years) was in the hospital when we returned and
died less than two weeks later. As his medical power of attorney, Rich had a
lot of stuff to deal with. Then, my computer was crashing and it spent over
a week in computer rehab only to return with many of the same issues. Then,
we got 8 inches of wet, heavy snow which took out the power. Our other
neighbor's generator caught fire and burned down their house. I'm really
surprised that I've gotten anything done at all.

 

Anyway, my apologies for not realizing earlier that the list simply couldn't
be that quiet and for the trouble of the link not working. 

Blessings to you all,

Donna
