@ Betty: Welcome to my blog and thanks for stepping up and replying to this post. I feel your comprehension and fright. I think initially we all go through the same emotions if not similar. The best piece of advice I can give you in regards to stepping out of your comfort zone is to start small with a single step. Soon you’ll find everything less intimidating and things will just roll from there. I hope this helps and if you get stuck, just send me an email. I’m happy to help where I can.

Cheers
Monika

Hi Monika,
I’ve been following your site for a while & find it so useful. I often find the answers I am looking for in my search right here. My only problem is I am totally new at this whole thing & fear often over whelms me at the thought of going whole hog, so to speak.
I’ve worked in my community with a friend doing feature articles for a tour guide magazine & have published several poems in the local paper, but to really step out on my own is a different story. I must get my courage up & just do it…. I feel my writing experience & education may not serve me well. I need to get into some classes & do the work to push forward into the world of writing I love so much…. Thanks for being an inspiration… BG

Dear Monika,

I’ve been checking out your entire site. I think it’s very informative and very professional. I’ve also checked out a lot of the information you have provided.

I just wanted to report the unfortunate news that MPAM has suspended its Article Writing Income Stream. They think they might have it up by early 2009.

Keep up the good work!

@Monika,

Usually I am, sometimes it doesn’t work (like on Fridays, after a beer or three Thursday night!)

Yes, we will have to catch up on the weekend – I will look for you on Skype, I’ve missed chatting with you… I know we’ve both been busy, so it is understandable

I am having a wonderful day, and I hope that you are too, when you get to read this!

Talk with you soon my friend – Brett

@ Brett: wow, you sure are an early riser. If I wasn’t such a night owl I’d actually do the same. That jet fuel needs to be copyrighted soon I think. It certainly makes waves around Canada by the looks of it.

I look forward to seeing you take off too. Hope you are having a great day. Maybe we can catch up on the weekend?

@ Wendy: cool, I’m in a file wooohoo….:-) I saw the other day that you are saving up for the Pen Men treatment. Excellent idea I think. You will it with a new site I’m sure and since you already have a great following it will most likely just explode from there.

Keep going at it, you are destined for great things.
