I was sitting here this weekend, doing laundry, refereeing fights, bandaging battle wounds, settling scores, and surfing the web, I thought to myself.. “Self, you need something to do to occupy your time.” As though keeping up with a personal blog, photoblog, and two daughters isn’t time consuming enough, I’ve gone an added one more site to maintain. You know, because I’m an attention whore.
Actually, I am jumping on the product review bandwagon, and an hoping to start writing reviews. I would be lying if I said “It’s not for the money, it’s for the joy of writing.” It’s for the money. Well, no, it’s for the benefits, the freebies, the samples, the whatever. I am under no illusion that I will make any significant money at this, but even if I get free books to read and review, great. If I get nail polish, or lip gloss, or ink pens and markers, (did I mention I’m raising two divas daughters?) it’s all good.
And it’s for the joy of writing and exercising my writing muscles.
What’s the absolute worst that happens here? Nobody reads anything I write, and I get nothing for any post I may write and I shut the whole damn thing down? Ok, well, no harm no foul.
But it could lead to something more.
Maybe.
So. I’ve got the website set up. Now, I just need something to write about. Somebody, please, help! Give me a map, or tell me where to go…
Wait, what?
Help.
